Web 2.0
What are we on, web 2.0? Should we make it web 2.7? No, because we don’t name things in fractions.
Some people say the decimals make things look official, but I think it Roman numerals would add a bit more gravitas.
Web III
We could have teaser titles, too.
Web IV: The Clickening
Or catchlines
Web II: Social Networking
This time, everyone’s going to know.
It beats Word 7.0, doesn’t it?
And the new Die Hard film, Live Free Or Die Hard, is called Die Hard 4.0 in the UK.
Anyway, I wear my heart on my sleeve and nail my web stuff to the mast.
So here are some things I also do online. There’s Myspace, Flickr, Facebook, my blog you know about, Vox, Badjit, Twitter. I also use Linked In and Last FM and other things I don’t really update enough to bother mentioning them here.
My current favourite non-blogging site is Facebook. It’s much easier to use than myspace and and it has a thing where you can tell people your status. Your page says “Cliff is…” and then you tell it what you are and it send updates to all your friends.
So I said “THE BOMB”. And my status to changed to - “Cliff is THE BOMB.”
This drew some attention, admittedly only from Wendy, who messaged me to say that I was indeed not in fact THE BOMB and at least her Facebook status was true. Hers, by the way, said “fully clothed.”
Cliff: What? “Wendy is fully clothed.” What’s that?
Wendy: It’s the truth. I am.
Cliff: It may be the truth now, but later on you’ll be naked and I’ll still be THE BOMB.
I think I got my point across.

See, Cliff, I don’t think it’s fair that you missed out the start of the conversation. I didn’t IM you specifically to say that you weren’t THE BOMB, did I? DID I? Hmmm?
Cliff: I’m really irritable today. Everyone’s getting on my nerves.
Wendy: Including me? I’m staying well away, just in case.
Cliff: Fight me.
Wendy: Um
Cliff: FIGHT ME.
Wendy: Okay, you’re um.. NOT THE BOMB
Provoked, see? And trying to help. And what do I get in return? HIM trying to turn you lot against me.
And Cliff? You love carpets, you do.

I am currently neither fully clothed nor THE BOMB.
I do have a Facebook account but no contacts or friends.
THat’s how not THE BOMB I am.

Now look here. I do not come here to find out how many clothes people are wearing or not wearing. That is what webcams are for.

Wendy’s right. Ed’s wrong. Katy’s got me worried.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:44 am
You mean Ed is fully clothed?
June 14th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Well, I am NOW, yeah.

Is spacing a new house rule?

Isn’t Facebook for students? Are you students? Or am I wrong? It is very possible as I’ve never been on Facebook.
June 14th, 2007 at 3:59 pm
So like this is all I have to do?
Man am I dumb.
June 14th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Actually, in my personal opinion Ed very much is THE BOMB.
June 14th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Katy - only I got your joke, because you had long spaces in the email notification of your messages. For some reason the webmonkies behind this site took the spaces out.

It wasn’t even that funny.
In fact, that whole comment was a write-off. I am sorry, everyone.
June 14th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
See tHat, Cliff? I am very much THE BOMB, according to Katy, whom I happen to think is also very much THE BOMB. SO there!
June 14th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
All this talk of bombs is making me horny…

This has been like eacedropping on a very funny conversation at the next table in a restaurant. Or something. You are all funny buggers.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:03 am
Thanks quick - your table’s ready.

Being funny in other people’s comments is a very hit and miss business, Katy - you live and learn, don’t you. It’s like falling off a bicycle, just get up dust yourself off and keep on going.
I’m on Facebook - it’s the first thing in my life I managed to do before everyone else was doing it.

Bloody typos. Sorry.
