[Sigia-l] Classifying the internet

But the dots don't connect.

Fred or I might think Tiffany *products* might be frivolous, but the
*process* of selling those products which certainly includes ways to "make
you feel good about a brand, product" is not vanity. Absence of commercial
transactional services is not the same as vanity.

I invite you to think again about my taxonomic non-haiku:

Internet, the
    Of interest to me
    Not

If tiffany.com can get you to position it in your mind under "Of interest to
me" it has done its job in e-commerce.

That's where the Internets are going:

    Of interest to me
    Not

Anything else is just filler material.

It depends.
If it didn't, you'd be out of a job.
