I’ve been on the net for such a long time that I feel like the next generation is passing me by. Other than blogging, I haven’t adapted to the Web 2.0 social networking paradigm – it seems designed for the younger crowd. I don’t go to MySpace or have any Friendsters. And I’ve noticed but never used the Social bookmarking sites like Digg, reddit and StumbleUpon. Occasionally, one of our pages gets into these systems and I see a few clicks from reddit and other sites in our logs. A few weeks ago one of pinche tejano’s essays President Bush Relegated to Sippy Cup brought a flood of StumbleUpon’ers – more visitors on one day than we have ever seen. That really made me take notice, so I signed up for an account at StumbleUpon. In just a day or two I was completely hooked on it. It’s fun to take a break for 5 minutes and spin through a few dozen sites.
