saving comment to the lifestream. "basically it's about
metaphors. what is the metaphor one uses for "being on/in the Web"? it
could be "search", or "conversation", or "me & my friends", or even
"research", or "writing oneself into existence" (eg. via Twitter). or
some combination, of course. and yes, most people define themselves as
"social" in a quite simple way (to avoid the term "primitive"). like
"e-mail" (another social metaphor) still being the killer app of the
Internet, at least here in Germany, which is admittedly a late adopting
country. so i fear Josh may turn out to be right."
