The new HOAX:
These guys at the "Urban Legend Reference Pages"
make it their business to collect rumors spread by Internet, including rumors related to NYC 9.11. Before cutting-and-pasting some piece of gossip that sounds really hot and compelling, one might want to mosey over here and check to see if it's phoney. http://www.snopes2.com/index.html They are also collecting widely circulated Internet folktales which are not in fact rumors, but true. Those would include the Coup album cover, the Tamim Ansary essay, and other interesting staples of decentralized communication. Well worth a look. The new Nimda virus is not a hoax; slashdot.org features any number of hands-on eyewitness encounters with it. Bruce Sterling http://www.viridiandesign.org |
