Inspired to 'Sonnet-ize' this Social Software space this evening — in hyperlinked iambic pentameter form:
a sonnet for some social spaces…
a friendster or a fraudster? this girl asks
while wading through these virtual tide pools
of YASNS where most often we wear masks
while perched upon our digital barstools.
an orkut-ster will often also be
on spoke, or ryze, or linkedin, this girl thinks
and socialtext is sometimes where we'll see
good netizens imbibing wiki drinks.
now as we blog and network day by day
and grok the flow dynamics of this place
there is some hope that soon we'll find a way
to own our signatures in cyberspace.
some situated software, shirky states,
sans scarcity, small spaces now creates… (-;=
