Oh, I don't know -- maybe the Flickr old skool could use it before merging to Yahoo! IDs.

let me off the self-referential satire train of Web 2.0. Don't worry; with Web 3.0, the pendulum will have swung back, and then some.

This reminds me of Progress Quest only less funny and more work.

Hilarious site cortex! I can peruse it as I play Progress Quest.

How is that Web 2.0? It's clearly not written in Rails.

I signed up for this shit last month. The support blows. They wiped my account information without warning because I had an illegal prime number in one of the fields. They're too fucking sticky, too. No export function. Fuck 'em. I'll just roll my own.

I'm disappointed they gave it an obvious name instead of a goofy one like "squeebo"

I signed up as mathowie, jessamyn, languagehat, cortex, jonmc, loquacious, dios, The Pink Superhero and stavrosthewonderchicken. I will sell you your account name for fifty gmail invites. Except dios. I'm using that one to do some irreparable internet carnage.

Oh, yeah. It's been a while since I wrote that. It's funny, because I thought to myself just now, "ah, another datapoint in the great How Do You Render "ND[cent character]" experiment! How embarassing for me.

Re: 2.0 RLY, first entry: Has Xeni ever authored an interesting post on boingboing? All her posts are interesting if you fantasize about spending hours talking about the Linux Kernel Space swapping, drinking champaign mixed with mountain dew, before fucking a ~~beautiful~~ slender woman. *Note: don't know much about Ms. Jardin.

Useless account amused me with this bit of reasoning for signing up: Impress your friends with your ability to tab through form fields and arrow through saved field values! Hits a little close to home.

I want to sign up, but I'm stymied by the "what would you do for a million that you wouldn't do for ten large" question. I dunno; maybe I'd refrain from doing something exactly 100 times?
