In the #aughts (but probably starting a couple years earlier), we saw the rise of #web2, and the mass adoption of #MySpace, #Facebook, #Twitter. Especially with the rise of #cellphones with built-in cameras and #webbrowser enabled #smartphones, the information really began to flow in two directions with #UserGeneratedContent. I like to think of this as a one-dimensional vector field, where information was flowing in two directions, but still only in one dimension. 5/16

Layering fishnets over opaque tights is my latest “she’s just wearing the clothes she would have worn in the late 90s and early aughts” personal trend I think. #90s #aughts #fashion

For those who remember MySpace, a dude made a full clone of it that WORKS and looks the same (and is pretty epic) over at https://spacehey.com. Check out some of those profiles! Wild. 🤣

I was reading about LimeWire (which I used back in the early 00's) and I just can't stop laughing about this:

"Both a zero-cost version and a purchasable "enhanced" version called LimeWire Pro were available; however, LimeWire Pro could be acquired for free through the standard LimeWire software, where users distributed it without authorization."

Back in the #aughts I spent a lot of time on eMusic - more on that later - and discovered a lot of great #music during the time.

The Oranges Band's debut All Around, was a major one. Catchy as hell indie pop/rock with a bit of punk and jangle, it was probably one of the first I bothered to burn to CD so I could listen in the car. It came right on the heels of my love of power pop.

They dropped this gem 20 years ago #YesterdayNotToday and I still love "My Street".
