I miss the jolly *NEWS TO DAY" jingle lady.
I think we are seeing the birth and death of the first generation of online social experience. I think these will things just burn out as we find we have little left to say once the excitement recedes and real life kicks us in the pipe. When I was a kid FM CB radios were leaglised in the UK and for two years the working classes went fucking nuts for CB radio. This was pre-mobile communication so the whole thing was wild and exciting. After two years though we had really run out of things to discuss, sitting in our cold Morris Marinas every evening, and the entire community simultaneously sold up its gear and retired from the airwaves permanently. The revolution was over.
For me, something like QBN is a vital part of my day at the moment becuase I run a one-man studio and spend many busy days working in isolation. I talk abstract crap on something called The Pile, which is a closed group of creatives from around the world and latey I've been posting here too becuase The Pile is beginning to creak. To drop some stupid nonsense into a forum such as this or the Pile is an isolation breaker for me, but I increasingly find it doesn't cut the mustard so much now, and more and more I resort instead to walking briskly up my high street with no pants and trousers on and defecating outside the florists.
