As an internet addict, I tend to expect the web to amuse me at all times.  There is an endless amount of stuff out there -- there should always be something going on that I want to surf or try or read about, right? 

And yet, the fact is that I frequently go through long periods where the web bores me senseless.  That's how it's been lately.  I check Bloglines and nobody has posted (because I don't actually subscribe to that many sites); I check here to see if anyone has commented, and no one has; I read a news blurb or two, or not; and then I'm done.  And five minutes later I do the exact same thing.

It's irritating.  And yet, of all the information available out there, not that much of it seems terribly interesting, most of the time.

So it's refreshing when, every now and then, the internet becomes fascinating again.  Usually it's about some cool new web service that I can subscribe to and play around with.  In just the last few days, I have discovered (and established identities on):

43things
43places
Yahoo 360°
and
flickr

All of which are way cool applications, to varying degrees.

I think I'm hooked.  Again.

And so, you know -- come link to me!
