Insight, "StumbleUpon: Tripping Thumbs"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

StumbleUpon: Tripping Thumbs

up

the thumbs of likes and dislikes central to the stumbleupon experience allow one to trip around the internet, the feeling captured within this work, and too evoked in the real world by the travails of stumbleupon

down

for some time stumbleupon appeared to me a ship without a port, aimlessly, listlessly, floating around … made all the more worse and evident when their purchaser, ebay, in 2008, sought, after years of neglect, to get rid of it

Insight, "Apple: Pushing around MobileMe"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Apple: Pushing around MobileMe

here

at this time it is fun to recall when it was that people yearned to be pushed about and to — mostly through, at the time, the impending data push service, mobileme

now

when people ask "did you just hang up on me" wondering or whether it’s at&t or the iphone, itself, people, at least some may so proclaim, that the once sought pushing has been quite enough, and even more may be seeking the pushing around of poor old mobile me …. to stop

Insight, "Web Depression"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Web Depression

historically

interestingly the link that inspired it all has been deleted and removed from all existence, no witty quote from jason, nor insight into the impending demise of the internet that was to be

sound

leaving us just one panging question, as has gone the immaculate source of my inspiration, so to has gone the depression of the web?

Insight, "YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten

long ago

poem of long ago, a classic one might say. revisiting what was hot back then now appears to be hot again today. a look at all ones experiences being tracked on youtube, being demanded by viacom — some activities of which I am less proud or desirous, more embarassness to share

ago again

had fun with the placement of words, from "…you. Tube" to "…via. Come" to 2 main players in this still ongoing saga

Insight, "Zigtag: In Need of Tagging Assistant"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Zigtag: In Need of Tagging Assistant

@End

sometimes it is hard to find just the right words to describe something you poured so march hart into; summarizing with but one or two or few tags

many tools are out there, and one so inspired this work; from its naming reminding me of zig-zag, shaping the structure of it

Within@

as much semantic analysis does in analyzing a document to pull out the core meaning, the core tags, so too does this work have such intentially hidden meaning — with the last letter of each line combines to spell: semantic tagging

Insight, "private beta"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

private beta

more

there was once a time when there were many and there was a private beta of the week; people trading and hustling to get in. now, while not as frequent as in its hey day — they are still.

less

yet one set of defining characteristics persist — the long wait — seasons go by, chores get more done, memory fades, hair ages and grays … all while waiting to get into that next private beta

Insight, "Second Life: Away Online — LOST"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Second Life: Away Online — LOST

oN

with the weather grander it makes a great many wonder what could make people gather away online; away from the fresh air and warming sun — an isolated existence, virtually strong relationships being established in increasing number

oFF

such is the dillema of in or outside, on or offline — lonely is as lonely does — and more lonely so the numbered of Second Life

Web Laureate Insight, "Yawnlog: Pandiculation"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Saturday’s poem…

Web Laureate Classic: "YawnLog: Pandiculation"

All

indentations to symbolize the rough edges and simultaneously prove as a tool, a guide, in understanding the underlying structure of the ideas and concepts within, which structured oddly can be difficult to understand the complex grouping of words and phrases, even with the carefully placed commas

Day

all lines have 4 syllables; the key line that most directly references the product and too is linked to the corresponding website (other link ‘in its glory’)

Long

seeming waves within the poem are representative of the sleep cycle – from awake to asleep and all in between

the title was picked to further reinforce the roughness, yet harmony present in all such repetitive, enjoyable activities as sleep

Web Laureate Insight, "MixedInk: by myself sometimes good old hard work isn’t enough"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Sunday’s poem…

MixedInk: by myself sometimes good old hard work isn’t enough

-with-

in style like that of the oft marked up grade paper or revised word document, this poem, too was written, in less than simple simple rhyme

-so-

written to be read without the crossed out words. crossed out words appropriately replaced with more accurate alternatives (generally oposite). crossed out words, that when put in sequence of the poem, bolstering the theme of not working along, but working together, democratically, as both the poem and product describe-provide.

Web Laureate Insight, "evite: tonight — EXCLUSIVE party"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

evite: tonight — EXCLUSIVE party

no ,

not the best looking event, party planning pages, but they do the trick; one may wonder just how much of the clumsy and ugly with the many other event sites online today are people willing to overlook where and when that basic functionality is still there, working, and in place

, pretty

good did I try to capture the excitement of the impending last minute invitation — to that maybe magical of parties TONIGHT
