Megnut's post about when the personal network turns into personal hell:

Before when you broke up with someone, you had to deal with maybe bumping into each other at a party, or hearing about your ex from a friend. But now technology enables you to keep informed from afar -- whether you mean to or not -- by exposing you to weblog entries, Friendster testimonials and details, and perhaps the worst of all, real-time tab-keeping via IM (I notice s/he's not online, is s/he out on a date with someone?!)

It's a quick, short, to the point read, so check it out, Discuss, and enjoy.

"If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, 'Somewhere, my flower is there' But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened"

(BTW: that last quote had nothing to do with the article.)
