This got me thinking. From my first days online (using BBS) in the beginning of the 90's I've had this feeling that the future of all things online is one that is better and brighter than the present. And it has been. But over the past few months or years this feeling has been waning. Always on (and borked) DRM for games, the "social" buzzword for everything (Facebook, G+...) and the discontinuation of things that I consider elementary to an online life (Google Reader) in favour of this "social" ubiquity have me feeling that the golden days of the Internet will soon be over. Although I hope I am wrong and this is just what old age feels like...
On other news I have tried out Feedly and Netvibes and found both to be a bit "meh", trying to import into The Old Reader now but their servers are taking a hammering.
