Internet as shared space

December, January, February, March. Somehow I lost a quarter in my blogging experiment. Perhaps the urge to write is related to daylight. Or not.

I was unsuccessfully trying to locate a comment about PowerPoint best practices when I commented to a friend that, "the Internet is like a desk cluttered by 5 million people sharing it, stacking things upon it, just for a second or two, then forgotten about..."

She liked the quote, and encouraged me to copyright it. I don't know if the idea is copyright appropriate, yet I do rather like thinking of the Internet as some kind of shared desktop accumulating clutter at an astounding rate.
