It doesn't need to be parallel. That implies the lines on it mirror those of the Internet. I'd rather it be a piece of clear film, placed over the top of the Internet, a shimmery glow of humanity in an otherwise robotic, industrialised zone.
I never used myspace and 9gag. I used geocities, and if you're interested in this notion, there's a fucking fantastic YouTuber - Sarah Davis Baker - who has produced some amazing brain food about this very topic.
Please watch it, and be intellectually stimulated and amazed. I wish people like this Sarah would write essays for HIVE. I'd happily devour them!

Watched, really insightful... although how old is she to have been using Geocities? she looks in her 30's at most.
Myspace was all about creating a 'persona' too - though it had some set structure - you could customize almost everything, and throw in gifs, music to play in the background of one's profile, and people also had funky names. but eventually everything got bought and sterilized - its how you get Facebook - no character at all.
Sorry I confused 9gag with "Something Aweful" - remember that one?
Something like live journal, then. You see, in the MySpace era, I was busying myself talking on MSN messenger, playing computer rpgs, making digital art, reading, and enjoying obtaining a broad education while having delusions of fitness thay never arrived.
As to her age, im not sure it mattered, I started using a computer and the Internet when I was six, and had my first one at home when I was 10 or 12.
