conTEXTual mash-ups

I’m feeling silly… 

Splace… as early noted, Web 2.0 is neither a space or a place, but at the same time it’s both… it is a splace.

Youser… pronouced user, or you-ser.  Many people have written theoretical books where the term “user” as in ”computer user” has connotations of mindless automaton drones, using the technology as if it were heroin.  Youser tries to bring humaness back to the word.

Netizen… okay this one isn’t mine.  It belongs to Howard Rhinegold one of the godfathers of Internet Theory.  He is also, incidently, the coiner of the phrase “Smart User”, though he has broadened that concept to the Smart Mob. I don’t have to explain that one do I?

Feed me with more, preferably of your own creation… *Gulp*

You may have noticed, the blog has a new look, in response to numerous eyes unable to read my long and lengthy diatribes with white text on black back.  This is a tad more friendly anyway… no?
