Joining the DNA Network

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Today I received an email from Hsien-Hsien Lei from Eye on DNA, inviting me to join the DNA Network (read a description of this network here). So now I have.

The DNA Headlines

I wasn’t even aware that this existed, but I am happy to learn about it. There is lots of interesting blogs there to follow (and I am a bit addicted to blog reading).

I am just a bit nervous if I have anything much to contribute to all this, but hey, if you don’t like my blog just stop reading it, right?

Social networks, Web 2.0 and stuff…

Honestly, I do not spend too much time on social networks like Facebook. I have an account there because Saskia invited me, but I don’t really go there unless someone writes a message to me.

Still, today I joined yet another such network, PLURK. In my defense, it was Amir who invited me and I was curious to see the app. he’s been working on the last couple of months. It is essentially just a timeline where you can write what you are doing at the moment and friends can keep track of each other that way.

I don’t see the point of this, but then I don’t see the point of Facebook either and that has turned out to be a succesfull business, so who knows? Maybe Amir will make a fortune on this and never have to take any of my classes after all…
