Here's a cool HTML DOM visualisation of monoman.com.

I thought I'd made up the word 'bleggish', but it appears to also be a colour - attributed to the Hindu deity Lord Krishna:
"the only difference between Lord Balaram and Lord Krsna is Lord Balaram is white and Lord Krsna is bleggish. They are both original Supreme personalities of the Godhead."

If you haven't seen it already, this blog post has hammered a few more nails in the coffin of Web 2.0. The comments are extremely apposite, especially the one beginning "Sara Winge: I regret to inform you that me and my legal team have applied for a service mark..." And this comment echoes my feelings:
"This whole farce has demonstrated very clearly that the Web2.0(sm) phenomenon, far from being a real movement with any business value to the community at large, is being operated exclusively for the benefit of its creators and would-be owners."
As usual, Marc Canter sums up the whole affair nicely: "The term Web 2.0 belongs to all of us... [it] is built on the backs of 1,000’s of entreprenuers who are creating it."
