Google.YouTube vs Myspace

Take the ringside seat as the billion $$ behemoths battle it out.
Such fun! our very own pantheon of the gods.
Those who hold sway in this peculiar parallel dimension of online reality, do so by sheer weight of those who believe in them.. (in Google we trust). Once again the big boys are out to play. The brave young hero YouTube has been deified and given a seat on Mount Olympus.. and the writhing shape-shifting adolescent-hormone fueled MySpace is getting edgy. oooh too delicious.

We’ll be sure not to myth out on the next installment: soap-opera for geeks and market-analysts alike, as we all try to predict the next move and extrapolate what cool.tool gifts the benign ones will bless us with tomorrow..

This is one of those moments where you realise that we’re oddly tracking toward the outer edges of capitalism, where peculiarly, in it’s full bloom: with the means of production truly in the hands of the people: it starts looking a lot like true socialism -? without the crappy cumbersome side effects of poverty, scarcity and shocking food that tends to accompany communism.

Hmm.. wonder how my mind wondered off here, anyway, just a thought and perhaps a little hint to the leaders of our beloved South Africa that it’s worth holding the evolving and devolving models from the economic experiments conducted in other countries – side by side – and extract some wisdom thereby. Anyway as I was saying, just a thought.
