Is it just me or is the internet really boring at the moment?

Is it just me? Is it just the winter blues? Slashdot has been terrible recently, Digg has gotten worse - reporting more and more old news, BBC News just isn’t cutting the mustard, my favourite RSS feeds update less often than I check them and tonight even Stumbleupon isn’t giving up the goods. You know something is wrong when the Plasticbag stops posting. Is this the beginning of the end? Has the Web 2.0 bubble burst already or is it just February, the least productive month of the year?

All I can hope is that the Future of Web Apps Summit tomorrow can re-ignite my love of the internet, otherwise it’s back to watching T.V. and there wasn’t anything on that last night either! Peter frikkin AndrĂ© on Cribs and the Midnight Meat Sale on QVC, somebody throw me a bone!

Update 1: What the hell is going on? 4 clicks on Rate My Kitten and not one cute cat yet.

Update 2: Praise be for Kitten War and Cute Overload! The internet does still contain fresh, mindlessly uplifting imagery that can make even the most entrenched cynic smile.

Update 3: And a new 1GB iPod Nano! Now you’re talking, I’m feeling better already. Thank you Stumbleupon!

    Well I can’t talk for everyone else, but I haven’t been posting because I’ve been writing and worrying about my Carson Workshops talk. With any luck once I’m through with that, I can start getting back to doing the important stuff again!

    It’s not that boring. After enjoying my Power of Personal Brandcasting workshop, I’ve cybed-up and can be found at www.mixymisstokus.net and at www.myspace.com/mixymisstokus where I’m selling copies of me new record.
    Alright? Now that’s got that sorted…

    Missing you like crazy. Let’s swap acerbic wit sometime.

    PS: I’m married now.
