Corporate content aggregation, and new flocks of sheep to drink from those content streams are one phenomenon.

"Entrepreneurs" re-inventing IRC every two weeks with more emoticons is another. Can we simplify every "internet innovation" into three bullets?
1) threaded forums -> TCP -> Usenet -> every news service ever (time-buffered data delivery)
2) "get hails" -> UDP -> IRC -> every chat service ever (real-time data delivery)
3) hypertext -> HyperCard -> WWW -> links (glue that connects everything)

And I'll argue "content aggregation" is just a fancy .* glob, so pre-net.

I had a very similar experience last year, gradually dropping 40 lbs over 8 months.
Very simple habit changes: exercise slightly more, eat slightly less.

Like the TFA, I found it very useful to weigh myself EVERY DAY (I used the Wii Fit.)
Checking your weight is easy; subconscious reactions to this knowledge made of lot of difference for me.
