Neophiles: Change for changes sake or just indiscriminate users?
From a blog post dealing with ultra fast development particularly dealing with one user's opinion on what makes Myspace.com great . Great for neophiles maybe ,but it's based on an audience that's investing their time on identifying themselves as future market that find the service valuable enough at $0.00. It's even spawned a horribly term "Generation @" which with luck will be marked as cultural spam and sent to the trash folder.
There's a link contained within to an interesting talk given on "G/localization" which argues for an expandability amongst cultures that seems to be optimistic in the extreme. I.e providing a service so versatile that all of the world can re purpose it , we don't all read top to bottom, left to right you know yet still be relevant to a global audience seems like a goal to give a babel fish an aneurysm.
