I hope MySpace survives. Its like an idiot magnet. Did blocking one domain ever blocked so many annoying sites at once? I think it's great, those idiots are all on MySpace. It means they are not somewhere else!I mean do you really want these kind of people trolling on IRC? Or reading Digg? No, you don't. So, please let them have their own little pathetic corner of the internet.
I recently met Dennis Crowley, the founder of Dogdball at New York city's BarCamp.You can read the story on that meeting here: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/tech_news/At_BarCamp_Form_Trumps_Substance_2">http://digg.com/tech_news/At_BarCamp_Form_Trumps_Substance_2</a>These mobile social applications are definitly going to evolve, but right now there is only a small market. The majority of phones aren't java enabled. At best they have text messaging. Dodgball has to figure out a way to get people now with text messaging and scale up to Java at the same time.

It's inevitable? Based on what? A handful of nerds not liking it? We all know that brought the demise of Microsoft. RIP Windows...
