The SIGNS!!!!

Ever since joining the ever growing amount of internet users back in '97 the messenger screen name has always played a vital role. It often dsiplayed one's feelings at the time, or even their favourite music artist. Personally I always aimed to make mine one of 3 possible things, either witty enough for people to comment, complex enough for people to comment, or just something that signified change. As you can see the point was to invoke thought within the reader.

Nowadays sign in names are anything but unique and original. You can log on and at any time will find that 85% of your list have sign in names declaring their undying love (while still teens) for their significant other, their outcries against cheating, and in my case more and more are advertising their love for their newborns. I think if a sociologist was to sit down and scan through screen names, they would have a more accurate make up of todays youth than straight out asking them.

I guess what i'm saying is that through somethign as simple as a messenger screen name we are becoming more of a outspoken people the likes of jamaica, dominica, etc instead of keeping things within a relatively closed circle. so in short...want to know the current trends? watch the damned sign in names...amen.
