Gopher’s heyday was brief, but it was hugely important.
If Twitter lasts til 2011, I’d be surprised. But I use it, find it fun and
helpful, and even built an awareness service around it (www.twitterprose.com
).
We don’t really know what’s going to last, or whether something is a
building block for something else. I don’t “do” Second Life (insert tired
old joke about being busy with my First Life), and I don’t know where it’s
leading, if anywhere, but it’s a human endeavor, and that alone makes it
interesting in itself.
