Why You Think The Net Was Born?, Part 1

SCENE:
Tom and Karla, talkin’ by the computers. (And yes, I know it’s wildly inaccurate. It’s supposed to be.)

TOM: I envy you, Karla. I’m still stuck at seventy friends on LiveJournal, but you just hit 900.

KARLA: Actually, I’ve been thinking about going somewhere else.

TOM: But why? What’s wrong?

KARLA: LJ’s too small; I’ve fished this pond out. I need a better social network to attract a bigger audience.

TOM: Where would you go? Facebook?

KARLA: Come on. Facebook’s for pimply college girls who are trying to keep in touch with the high-school boyfriend they’ll be dumping by the second semester.

TOM: What about Blogger?

KARLA (ticking them off on her fingers): Blogger’s for comic nerds who scan in old Batman panels and look for homoerotic undertones. Xanga’s for teenaged yaoi fangirls looking for advice on how to kiss their first boy, and Friendster’s for the isolated kneebiters who didn’t get the 2004 memo that nobody cares about Friendster any more.

KARLA: What’s left? MySpace. The biggest and best target.

TOM (distressed): What about LiveJournal?

KARLA: Polyamorous Wiccan bisexuals with an axe to grind and a disintegrating primary relationship.

TOM: No wonder you have 900 friends.

Ferrett Says

Today, we return to a very old storyline - Karla and her attempts to take over the Internet. I've been waiting to get round to this, and thankfully there will be no army drawings in this one.

Also, just one last reminder - anyone wanna see me, I'll be at Penguicon this weekend in Troy, Michigan. Stop by, say, hi, have a corn dog. Or, perhaps, a Chupaqueso - they're delicious.
