'Good. I hate Facebook.': Alt Text: Google+ Is the New GeoCities | via Underwire

Media_httpwwwwiredcom_phcgc

Excerpt from post by Lore Sjöberg:

"...Google+ might hit the big time by surfing the wave of Facebook resentment while eluding dead rats and discarded styrofoam cups. If so, its time will eventually come to an end as people realize that it, too, fails to provide the sense of community and closeness that we keep expecting to find on the other side of our keyboards.

Is the solution to somehow recapture the personal ties of years long past, when we knew our neighbors and the front porch was the main locus of information exchange? Will we create true community by embracing our humanity rather than our technology?..."
