I remember Mosaic and the days when there were so few personal pages on the web they were really personal. I thought they mostly sucked, even back then. I couldn't beleive any of these people really thought I gave a damn what their favorite song was or how they cried when they saw this movie. I remember when searching the web meant finding people, not instutions. I felt contempt for most of the people who put up web pages, even as I put up my own. It took a long time before I could even make a page that looked good enough I wasn't embarrased for it. It's no different in the days of blogger. I still surf the pages. If you're reading this, maybe you know why. We read so that we may know we're not alone.
