I don't think anyone here is running away from the web and how it is "evolving" (if you even believe in 'evolution') ... but that's exactly my point.
We are internet nerds.
Also, seriously, you use the internet to your advantage?
Reading that makes it seem like you actually think you deserve being grouped in with 'you'.
Having "you" as 'Person of the Year' is fucking absurd.
I guess that's mostly my point.
YouTube?
Thanks.
Thanks for causing countless threads here at NT.
MySpace?
Thanks.
I really give a flying shit about what some jackass I knew from 3rd grade is not doing with their life.
Flickr?
Thanks.
The fact you never took a class on photography almost makes it seem non-existant since you bought a digital camera.

(Dec 17 06, 11:42)Most people do use the internet to their advantage. They want to find, learn, observe, etc, etc. They may not be conscious of this idea and there are idiots all over the world, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist before.
All of these "web 2.0" things you've listed, including Youtube, Flickr, Myspace, have all been useful to me in some way. I spend more time than I should on these websites though. You even have profiles at some of these sites.
And of course people say that they don't care about "that person who I used to know" but then why do they spend time checking out their profiles and stay on the internet for hours? Because they're curious.
