Growing up with e-literature/poetry
I feel like an old virgin with a lot of experience. I had my first poetry book published in 1994 and I made my first (DIY) web page in 1996. And I hanged around in a Net Art Bar instead of Hypertext Bar back then in the early days (late 1990s). Later on I hated the Flash Poetry Bar because it was not open source. I did like many e-lit/poetry flash pieces later on in the Museum of the 1.5 Internet. Now in this wireless E-Literature [&sometimes]Poetry 2.0 Bar I find myself old but teen-alike. (And from a bit weird geo-location, I’m from Slovenia – raise hands all who know where that is without consulting the bartender of the Wikipedia or Google Maps Bar, see? No, no cheating with the Yahoo Bar, ok
I have no idea what e-literature is. Except that I have no other way to differentiate all this e-books/digital content from e-lit but to use the level of computational involvement in the text. So, just use the text editor = digital language expression (go digitalise something old if you wish). Had that cocktail back in 1995s I guess. Use software as crucial part of the message = e.lit/poetry. (+I like this new generation of people from Augmented Reality Bar, wow – nice content, great T-shirts & good idea drinks, fascinating – still waiting for the poetry mix though – anybody aware of the strong URLs spirits?)
[If you wish you can take a look at jaka.org for my past www, Firefox add-ons, Zemanta & Twitter poetry experiences - be gentle though, I’m still a virgin after all

+ in 2.0 Bar there is, even if closed days ago – Social Network Bar is now THE thingy, isn’t it? – well, some museum of all this 3rd generation of e-lit to be made.
