If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there. -Joe Strummer en Vox Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:59:24 -0800 Copyright 2008 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss technology http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/the-latest-geegaws-and-whoosits.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Maxvan) http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/the-latest-geegaws-and-whoosits.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/the-latest-geegaws-and-whoosits.html?_c=feed-rss-full Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:59:24 -0800 <p>I always like to be informed, and there&#39;s something neat about new gadgets, and whatnot,but I must admit i don&#39;t understad some of the latest and greatest on the web, these days. Like Twitter...Does anybody do Twitter so that they could explain to me how it&#39;s any better than chat? it just seems like some AIM channel, with permanent recording of whatever drivel you drooled out. Or Facebook, which seems like Myspace with more invasive programming. I don&#39;t get it.....</p> <p>I understand RSS feeds, podcasts, and blogs. I understand Flickr and&#160; Vlogs on youtube. All this makes a kind of sense to me. Bt some of the latest and greatest, I just don&#39;t understand. Can somebody explain it to me? What&#39;s the allure? What&#39;s the function? What&#39;s the deal?</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://maxvan.vox.com/library/post/the-latest-geegaws-and-whoosits.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41426798b3c7f00e398e0a6f00004?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> technology
