Connor's Thoughts

The thing that strikes me most about "Amung Us" is that there usually are more than one person reading a site at a time.

I mean, when I surf the web, it's a solitary experience. I don't think about being part of a horde accessing a web site, I imagine myself as being alone. But with Amung Us, you can see just how big the crowd is, looking at the site.

Whenever I use stumbleupon to stumble onto something, I feel like I'm the only person who has discovered it. But as is more becoming the norm, many people have already seen it. And if it's especially cool, it might even show up in the news.

Whatever happened to the days when I was a solitary web surfer, and when my stumbleupon discoveries really were discoveries?
