Web 2.0 Haiku

13 Dec 2005

Here is my opinion of the current trend in ‘Web 2.0′; expressed in Haiku form:

Permanent beta
All your personal data
waiting for Yahoo

It’s not true Haiku due to the lack of a seasonal reference (and probably other reasons).
Corrected :)

    I’ll add my own gaijin haijin, then:

    just a tiny part
    tag yourself for the hive mind
    relinquish control

  2. Dylan:

    Truly beautiful. You could also substitute “Google” in there. Fortunately, it’s two syllables as well.

  3. Relapse:

    AJAX FTW?
    Ruby? Rails? <New Buzz Word Here/>?
    “Best Viewed In” is back.

  4. Adam:

    all buzzwords and hype
    for the bloggers and drama queens
    stop the confusion

  5. Andrew:

    HA!
    Great work guys :D

  6. Richard Medek: 

           Left Justified? Gone.
  Dust gathers on Net News Wire…
        'til Haiku beckons.

    Sorry, Andrew, couldn’t resist. :) As if I’m one to talk…

  7. Andrew:

    I just got ‘pwn3d’ on my own site.
    You bastard! ;)

    I am a haiku writer. Currently part of World Haiku Review staff
    The haiku is a true haiku. I would say it is both a “vanguard” and a “computer” haiku which are very well-knowned

  12. Geoffrey Sneddon:

    The question is, did Molly get you saying “Ajax” at WE05?

  13. Seth Thomas Rasmussen:

    Unfortunately for Relapse, it turns out that Ruby is actually a gem (har!) of a language, and Rails is a damn clever set of tools that could only arise out of something so well designed and plain beautiful.

    But then again, the people that don’t bother to investigate, rather just hop on the buzzword (or buzzword bashing! lolz!) bandwagon, are probably better left behind anyway.

    Now, how do I make the emoticon wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette?

    P.S. Nice haiku, Andrew. Oh, and I’m coming back soon.. better make sure you have a pair of spare knickers lying around..

    Haaahahaa, bring it on you G.W.B-electing clown ;)

  15. Seth Thomas Rasmussen:

    I had nothing to do with that asshat’s rise to power, and I resent your implications to the contrary!

    Looking ahead to the upcoming gubernatorial elections in Minnesota, however.. I think a certain Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey has a good chance at securing my vote.

  16. Andrew:

    Hehe, good to see you’re still easily stirred :P

    Your candidate has an interesting platform; not that I’m against evil, but…

  17. James AkaXakA:

    Too true
    Your haiku seems so
    to me today
