You can't have Twittering without a shit-load of Twits.

Seriously, this whole recent Twitter, Facebook, YouTube mania is getting annoying. Have you noticed TV shows start putting in references in the most ham-fisted way possible? And I saw some Disney show just having a RickRoll reference, now?, and does it even phase them that _-rolling is a signature trend of pedo-infested image boards.
If you watched the media, you'd think all of this was the absolute ideal of the new spirit of cyberspace or whatever. But the real Facebook craze peaked 3 years ago, YouTube commenting long ago bottomed out, and as for Twitter ... just because you can update your stupid life that much faster doesn't make it any less stupid.
And nobody seems to pay much attention to the rising online spirit of the literate crowd.

Gay or not, I wanna kiss demagogue.
So I might be a bit of an ogre here (imagine that), but I'm absolutely sick of - and more than mildly disgusted with - this blogging, twittering, FaceBooking, MySpacing, YouTubing, genital waggling, attention mongering, instant gratification societal mentality that has to be constantly in-touch and broadcasting. I'm seriously going to start a blog to let everyone know when I take a shit; how the shit went, was there any pain, wet one, dry one, its particular color, the aroma, what I'm most proud of, if I could marry this shit (and it was legal) would I?, etc. To me, Shit-Log 2009 would be vastly more interesting than some of the metaphorical verbal excrement secreted by most of these self-appointed heralds of wisdom and agents provocatuers of instant access communication.
I just don't get the notion behind this overwhelming desire to broadcast and log one's mundane life for all to take part in, analyze, and approve (or disapprove) of-- I'm just not that important. Nor do I feel I need to be. Nor do I want to be.
I want anonymity!
... and no, the irony of posting on a message-board isn't lost on me.
I NEED ATTENTION DAMMIT! OH GOD, PLEASE LOVE ME!!

Make that a paysite and you're set for life

Dema, you have officially won the Internet. Please claim your prize now; it's housed inside the .357 next to your keyboard.

Facebook actually serves a couple of useful purposes, to be fair. The photo sharing in particular is a fairly robust application

Well, these are the people who brought us a channel called Dave...
Channel Dave is awesome.
It's like an infinite plane of Top Gear and QI

I'd have to concur actually. Although, I stopped playing when Scrabulous got told to radically change.
Official Scrabble is now available in the UK? And is it any good?
