One Web To Rule Them

09:00 AM Sep 22, 2006

Just when you thought you were out of made-up Internet feast days -- it's OneWebDay. (Note: On the Internet, we don't use spaces. This is just one of the many benefits the web has brought us.)

On OneWebDay -- that's today -- you get to remember that the Internet totally rocks. In fact, that "it's about action" and the way the Internet affects real people's real lives. Though there's no meatworld join-up associated with OWD (note: acronym proliferation is another of the many benefits the web has brought us) here in the capital of this archaic "nation-state" political entity, we're totally on board with that. Action and the Internet is what DemocracyInAction is all about.

Suggested actions include posting on your blog the way the series of tubes has changed one's life, such as the paradigm-upending experience of one's job outsourced to Bangladesh, revolutionary new ways to become the subject of advertising, eavesdropping and data-mining, and the prospect of having one's private life unexpectedly made public at any moment.

No Terminators sent back in time yet [that we know of!], but that's for Web 3.0. Progress is the Internet's middle name!

(We're just playin', Internet.)

(You know we love you.)
