Looks like a url farmer. Plants urls and sees if they grow. His name is Greg, I say we pretend to be friends with him until we get some dirt on him. Then we will try to steal it. That's how the internet works, right?

I thought about it this way once, having been on OSO by early 2003. But that was before Facebook, which is essentially a personal forum. Now, I see the value in the smaller sites, being able to narrow your association if your true goal is comradery with people of similar interests, or friends. The small sites don't work for people whose goal is promoting their business or feeding off of the membership in some way. I now think that there is such a thing as too big. I don't think that any forum will be as big as they once were, now that we are in the age of personal publishing, personal promotion, social media and cell phone based platforms. I think that what we are seeing is a fragmentation from a huge, unmanagable corporate collective to a smaller, user owned model.
