After reviewing a few real "pig" sites these last couple of days, it is nice to see a kind, worthwhile story!

What a refreshing story and beautiful face for Web 2.0! After reviewing a few real "pig" sites these last couple of days, it is nice to see a kind, worthwhile story!
The mere mention of myspace does however send chills up my spine tho. I am just glad there are still smaller entities that represent good communication.

Couple of things...first off excellent write-up on the Hyper-Text Queen, Miss iJustine! I've recently discovered some of her and Desiree's videos and they are great. Clearly very careful crafted and produced, yet so lighthearted and funny. You go Gurl!!!

Secondly, Nate...chill out and take your asshat off, dude. Net Neutrality is a complex and nuanced topic that not everyone might have *your* expertise in. Besides, I see nothing inherently wrong with her statement

Finally to Andrew: Cool Blog, Man - Found you & this post on Digg.com - Feed Added :-)

"Net Neutrality is basically that we, as users, have a right to be in control of what we view online. As far as when or if it will be restricted, thatâ€™s hard to say. If you are paying for a service to be connected to the internet, within legal reason, you shouldnâ€™t be restricted to what you can or canâ€™t view. Thatâ€™s what makes the internet so powerful."

No offense, but I don't think I've ever read an opinion so purposefully idiotic and uneducated. It's people like this that really should be interested in the idea of net neutrality, but it's like she chooses to relate absolutely nothing about the issue other than some vapid swill more worthy of a fifteen year old. In short, even a 23 year old should be much smarter.

This will be one of the more important issues of the next decade (at least in terms of the internet), and the OMG WEB 2.0 SOCIAL NETWORKING crowd had better get with it or they'll find they can only collect hundreds of fake friends and watch fart videos/copyrighted material from other users and sites their provider deems appropriate. In short: It's time to wake up, kids.

Very interesting interview, I first saw ijustine when I registered an account on Groovr. I was home for winter break in Pittsburgh, and saw that she was in my area on Groovr. I've been reading her blog ever since, and it's pretty entertaining stuff.

Good Work!
