    The article seems to treat the online communities as an 'ends' rather than a 'means to an end'. Is it really intimacy that the writer mentions or some cloaked impersonal reinforcment? I guess the answer is with the invididual.

    Squatch hits the nail on the head.

    I've been online for 24 of my nearly 38 years. In my experience, the online communities that work best are those that also include a real-life component or focus.

    Sorry for your loss, DBdude.

    it is even occasionally necessary to meet up with the members of my Dodgeball network in person.
    What got me is that was written as a negative to online communities in her mind.

    Also unemployed and wicked insecure. Spending your time combing through other peoples' blogs looking for mentions of your name is pretty weak.

    the start of it all

    This was my first Thursday night at the Bowery Bar.
    It was the spring of 2000.
    I was in way over my head.

    It was as if a swarm of locusts in the form of jappy girls had taken over the entire place. Every table was filled with young IJC's in the exact same $200 jeans and white tank tops all smiling perfect smiles, drinking cosmos, gesturing wildly with their hands and talking loudly to the identical girl across the table while pretending not to be looking around for someone cooler to talk to.

    Welcome to the world of the IJC.

    These girls are called IJC's for the simple reason that both on the surface and underneath they are all more or less exactly the same Interchangeable Jappy Chick.

    Common characteristics of IJC's include but are not limited to:
    -full breasted
    -straight dark hair
    -well tanned
    -slightly overweight
    -over-educated and underemployed
    -teeth a little too white and straight (daddy is a dentist after all)
    1 through 9
    Is it radix panax notoginseng? - splat
    This is like hanging yourself but the rope breaks. - DTM
    Dude Listen to mtm. He's a marriage counselor at burning man. - subtle plague

    ICJ - total New York thing. In LA, they're blonde and not necessarily Jewesses (anyone around here watch Laguna Beach or The Hills? - perfect example)

    I lived up there for 9 months before I ran back to the east village. It's quite a scene.

    They were called JAPs at my school (Jewish American Princesses.) So what exactly does IJC stand for? I couldn't find it on that page....

    So they all think that's some sort of code for "gay lovers", right?

    I seriously believe that the current generation gap is best defined as those who started using the internet before they started masturbating, and those didn't. (or- did you learn how to use the internet so you could acess free porn, or did you know how to access free porn before you knew why you wanted to acees free porn)

    That column makes me feel really old and out of touch, and glad to be so. I'd much rather ski with you wierdos than jabber at you over the internet.

    I came here to meet people to ski with, not to substitute carpal tunnel syndrome for inflamed ACLs and stiff quads. I feel sorry for people like her.
