Welcome to this, the new up and coming blog which will no doubt become the centre of the web 2.0 phenomena and which will receive millions of page view per hours generating lots of money for me... or not, it could just be somewhere for me to attract people with similar views who would be interested in talking about things I like.
I have no real motive behind writing this other than I am completely in love with the way the internet has changed in the last few years, I remember the first time I used the internet maybe 12 years ago, I was only 7 but the whole idea behind it amazed me but for some reason the experience didn't live up to my expectations; I was basically stuck on a CompuServe portal and was able to look at a few pictures and run up a huge bill for my dad in about an hour. A few years later I used it again, I was a bit older, I could sort of work out what I could do, still pretty much stuck in the AOL UK content portal but it was a lot more fun, discovered chat rooms and msn messenger just before the rest of the people in my school and watched as my contacts list grew, and what amazed me more than being able to talk to strangers half ways around the world was that I was able to talk to my friends who lived a few miles away in a way I was infinitely more comfortable with, it expanded my horizons but strengthen my existing relationships.
While I was on messenger I didn't really surf the web, I couldn't find anything to interest me, until one day I found some amazing, which showed me how amazing the internet could be, which fulfilled every ounce of promise the whole idea behind this interconnected world ever displayed to me and I wish I could say porn, but no it was something infinitely more exciting to me; Wikipedia, a beacon of knowledge which has provided me with more useless trivia and vague facts than any TV show, book or teacher, a site which could finally fulfill my desire for the obscure and my need for it to be free. The last few months my love of the internet has only increased and my love of one site has outshone any other, I’ve heard of people falling in love with companies before, Disney, Apple, even Tesco but I am just amazed and infatuated in a way I can’t explain with the pillar of the internet that is Google. I’m not sure if it’s the aesthetics, the technology, the philosophy or the impact on the internet but there is something about the company I can’t help but love and the Google’s recent acquisition of YouTube has only piqued my interest even more.
I don’t pretend to be an expert in any subject I ever talk about, although it will often seem like I think I am, but if anyone is interested in my thoughts or opinions be sure to call back and see what else I manage to spew out.
