I'm an old fogee. Foegee? Fohgee.

I remember the late 90s, when the internet was still new and we wandered forth, blinking against the sun, finding communities of people in a world that was otherwise cold and uncaring. And more of us wandered forth... and more... until the internet became pretty much a distillation of everyone's wildest hopes and fears. Maybe I'm just old, but this Snapzu reminds me of that feeling I got when I'd post something to a chatroom or a listserv and I had the near-guarantee that anyone who read it would react with warmth and empathy and helpfulness. That was a golden age. Maybe we can bring that back. A world without trolls. Wouldn't that be nice?
