You know the internet has taken over your life when:

-you Facebook chat your kids to come to dinner.

-you IM your wife from the kitchen to let her know the tea kettle is boiling.

-the entire household comes to a screeching halt because the router needs to be reset.

-your tweets become more important than actually talking to someone

-you don't have a land line in your home because you Skype

-your smart phone is your best friend

-you "google" yourself

-you have 4,345 "friends," most of whom you have never met

-you have carpal tunnel syndrome, a bad back and are at least ten pounds overweight

-you say things like "fail," "pwned", "LOL," and "can I haz that" in regular conversations

Web Fugitive

Ever wonder what's the newest thing on the Internet? New websites start up and new web companies are started every day. How the heck are you supposed to keep up with it all?

I think it's cool to get in on a new web start up early on. I started with the social networking site Bumpzee near the beginning and it has paid off well for me. My Day in the Life Community is approaching 200 members and, while they don't come close to Blog Catalog's referral numbers, the referral traffic is very strong.

But I digress.

I was talking about web start ups and how to find them. How do you find new web companies? A friend could tell you, you could read about it on some one's blog or in a forum, you could Stumble on it or you could see an ad. Those methods leave things to chance.

If you want to be on the "cutting edge" of new website knowledge, you can check out Web Fugitive, the new website about new websites. Every few days, there is a post or two about a new web start-up in any one of a variety of categories from social networking sites to sports to business. Now YOU can discover the next big thing from the get go. I think it's fun to look for companies/sites that don' have a prayer of survival too (there are a lot of hokey sites out there).

So next time you're feeling curious, give Web Fugitive a look.
