I get a bunch of e-newsletters daily, and this quote stuck out at me...

"I asked my 15-year-old nephew, Ari, about MySpace. He doesn't have a profile, though his friends are on the site. He says he's not interested. He told me over Instant Messenger, 'It seems like something that I'd obsess over and then leave alone forever. Not worth the energy."'

Granted, so Ari's smarter and more eloquent than most people. News Corp and Google better hope he's just speaking for himself, and not his generation. "

--David Berkowitz is director of strategic planning at 360i.

I'll admit I joined MySpace earlier this week, but I feel like Ari and kind of think I should see if I can "un-join"...

One would think that an individual who works at a company firmly at the forefront of the internet revolution would do more than just dabble in technology but that's what I do.

I love to check out new websites: digg.com, gmail/google, beta versions of IE and Yahoo! and even silly social networking sites, but I just dabble. In fact, this blog is pretty lame, but hopefully I'll get better--thats what we are going to attempt here--now that people "might" read it.
