Channel surfing last night (an activity much less rewarding than web surfing, but sometimes you just don’t have the strength), I came upon a commercial for a new magazine, Lucky. This is a magazine proudly and baldly devoted to…shopping. Shopping. Clearly, we are thisclose to having “specially-targeted messages just for you” beamed straight onto our retinas and therefore into our brains, making a visit to Boston Store as instinctual as a visit to the restroom. This is not a good thing.
Not sure how I feel about this whole Blogger mess. I’m still sorting it out. But the bottom line is, they worked hard to create something cool for everyone on the web to use. And that’s worth applauding, no matter what the outcome. Now that all the “buy dog food online” foolishness is burning off, maybe we’ll get closer to what the web should be about: community and ideas.
