These are reactions to things I feel are important.

Thanksgiving (for the rest of us)

ckck:

Thanksgiving is an odd day, internet-wise, when you’re not in America and celebrating it yourself. For the rest of us, this is just any other day, a Thursday like any other, except that with the U.S. coming to a near-complete halt, you really do notice when you’re online.

Opening up Google Reader would normally yield a lot to look through, today not so much. Twitter isn’t chirping as much as it usually does. Tumblr is quieter than usual, too. This obviously also depends on how America-skewed your RSS feeds, Twitter and Tumblr contacts are, but it’s hard not to notice to some degree. It makes me feel like today is a holiday here too, even though it’s not.

Anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends, Happy Belated Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends, and Happy Internet Is Slow Day to the rest of you.
