did you see <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2u8cgu" target="_blank">that thing</a> on techcrunch today about the evolution of the portal, i.e., where do people get the information they need?<br /><br /> <br /><br /> it describes the evolution as going from "Browse" (Yahoo) to "Search" (Google) to "Share" (Facebook).<br /><br /> <br /><br /> An interesting take, but I think really that Facebook (or social network of your choice) <em>plus</em> Wikipedia is what belongs in that third spot. I really think probably 95% of what you want from the web nowadays can be found in Wikipedia and one social app or another, and the remaining 10% can be handled by Google Maps and Orbitz.

I've always called my Laminated List my "get out of jail free list" but I like this new term better.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Also, I'm surprised that <a href="http://twitter.com/fimoculous/statuses/84703192">you've never used "retcon"</a> in your dealings with the fairer sex. *rimshot!*

...remaining 5%, I mean. Mid-sentence re-calculation there.

JIM: I never realized it, but yeah, I've been retconned over and over in post-relationship situations. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> ADM: I always skip the Techcrunch analysis pieces, but that's pretty good. Making it a link....

We're loving that Wikipedia entry on the Laminated List ourselves - someone threw us a bone at <a href="http://laminatedlist.blogspot.com">The Laminated List Fantasy draft</a>.
