FriendFeeding Frenzy
Yup the blogotronicsphere’s gone nuts for FriendFeed the ultimate social aggregator machine thing.
I could detail examples of this nuttiness but you’d be better just Googling it and oggling the results.
I got a side interest in urban art (formerly ’street art’ until Bonhams had a sale of it and called it something different, it’s all a matter of semantics).

Whilst real paint on real walls distracted, cyber graffers calling themselves Smif & Dicky set to work on former Banksy pal Dface’s website, hacking into it and replacing it with the following.
Beware all who accept money from pneumatic pop sirens, pixelated graffiti is on the rise.
