Did you really want "kewl" on the Web, where data will live forever, next to your handle? Douglas: Yup. It just interests me that we have everybody talking about how the web is making us more social, and more connected and empowering individual contributors... but then you get an aggregator like BoingBoing or Slashdot and people still flock to the media hub rather than going to the creator. bg: I may not want the whole party… but a little dancing on the patio would be nice ;-)

Some of it gets way out of hand. Next thing you know, the fridge is cleaned out and the house is trashed. ;-p And a USA Today link is even crazier as traffic spikes go.
