Metabolo Metaphors

I thought about creating a place where I can list examples of metabolo in contemporary culture, as I encounter or think of them, and expand on them later. This post is that place.

Examples:

• Flock - the browser I'm using right now
• Media ecology - a young discipline pioneered by Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, and others
• Rabid media attention described as a "feeding frenzy." On this note, one relative of the slain child Jon Bennet Ramsey said the media attention was "like having a wild animal attached to your face."
• Macintosh's pulsating status light -- like a sleeping animal's breathing
• Linkrot - apt... if not pretty
