Memepool.com is supposed to be a Weblog where memes or would-be memes are shared and promoted, an online petri dish of sorts for potential thought viruses. But it's more random and weird than that, with its "in one ear and out the other" motto.

- "Sure, everyone wants to swim with dolphins and thanks to the magic of Virtual Reality you virtually can. The Cyberfin was designed by the Aquathought Foundation which studies human-dolphin interaction . . ." This links to a site where they're actually peddling things that look like some sort of CAT scanner or tanning bed but "drives your entire body with high fidelity reproductions of dolphin sounds while facilitating the feeling of floating in water." Uh, OK.

Feed was an excellent magazine online, but Suck was something special, a daily screed not exactly from the heart of the media beast, but more like a potentially fatal oxygen bubble floating through it. Full of irony and insider references, rich in memes and illustrated with little cartoons, Suck was simply cool. The Web is a little smaller and a lot poorer without it.
