...Is this thing on? I can't see all the quaint dials and knobs through the layers of dust that cake the interface. Dr. Manning posits that this was once a mechanism for communication, but our knowledge of past civilizations is so tenuous, it is difficult to make any claims with certainty.

Yeesh.

Sooooo, how about them communications? Are they expressing ideas encoded in language or what? Facebook has no utility at all as a blogging tool. The wall is the most robust feature it has, and, like Twitter, the size of individual communications is small. This is insufficient.

I recently opened up my AIM buddies folder and had a menagerie of unfamiliar names squint at me through the new, harsh light. I'm surprised the little guys didn't suffocate in there. I'm sending this message out to you, person with whom I am historically on good terms. Can we still know each other? y/n
