Things that are right, for the moment at least:

• Fred's old post about Facebook - more right in retrospect than it was at the time.


• The most accurate assessment of the tech blogosphere I've ever read is, "At the beginning of the last century being a Futurist used to be something exciting. Now it's more like being a dentist. Instead of pulling teeth they simply snip platitudes out of the pages of Wired or The Economist and announce them as a fait accompli, preferably three or four times in the same warm breath. Time to get your factoids extracted."


• Antisocial Notworking: can you think of a better way to sum up the application of Italian autonomist thought to online social networks?


• This makes me fondly remember the heady days of Web 2.0 back in '05

Am I getting nostalgic for the medium of nouveau nostalgia? Were blogs and social networks a passing moment when anything went and Paolo Virno seemed universally applicable? Or am I simply suffering from the all-too-common symptom of an early-adopter's early-onset jadedness?
