Perhaps if I invented a private life and a hundred ex-girlfriends I too could be 10,063 in Alexa.com. Mr. Samuelson's thesis has its limits: very few people will read Heather's (or anybody's) ramblings ten years hence because they'll have melded into one squishy self-referential irrelevant dull-gray goo.
