Six long months...

...since I last posted here. And that's a really long time in the mobile industry. I've been thinking a lot about user generated content recently, and I remembered this article I read a couple of weeks ago in the Village Voice. It's a good article. Give it a read.

Anyway, the basic jist of it is that regular people are now practically demanding to be celebrities, and I'm not really sure that that's a good thing. With the advent of user generated content and popularity of media sharing sites soaring and now being all the rage, is it really what we need more of? More boredass teenagers cluttering up in the internet with vanilla exhibitionism with the same renditions of all the same crap?

Sometimes I think the Amish are lucky. They're free from this excess of boredom which brings us all to the lowest common denominator of humanity.
