So what is your favorite social network?

I remember when the Internet first became more visual-friendly in ’95 and dial-up was pretty much the norm for most Internet users. Around this time, unless you had AOL or AIM, the only other way you could communicate with others on the Internet (if you had a t1 line) was through telnet and/or ICQ. Nowadays, in the world of broadband, there are so many different ways to communicate with people. Chat rooms and chat applications still exist but now you also have web 2.0 sites such as myspace, facebook and twitter to name a few. I have re-created log-ins on a few of them but the social network tool that seems to have gotten me the most captivated are forums, specifically the forum in the Keith and The Girl website.

According to wikipedia web forums have existed since 1996. Apparently I was oblivious to them until more recently. I guess I’m sort of old-fashioned when it comes to technology but I just feel that there is more camaraderie and interaction in a web forum then in myspace, twitter or facebook. In those other three I really only look for people that I know and just try and keep in touch with them; whereas, on a web forum I have a discussion of ideas, however trivial, with absolute strangers and develop new relationships from there. At least, those are my two cents. I’m sure there are others who disagree with my sentiments.

Barack Obama for President!!!

Well it’s settled, Barack Obama has won the Presidential nomination for the Democratic party. Now its a race to the White House. Of course we can expect more distractions, PR spins and possibly more bashing from Clinton loyalists. But that’s ok, a new dawn is here and we’re one step closer to a hopeful and brighter future. Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!

Here is video footage when MSNBC made the announcement and interrupted McCain’s long-winded purposeless speech:

Here’s wonderful analysis of McCain’s dreadful speech:

And now how a speech should be done by yours truly, Barack Obama:
