interesting situationist-inspired group called glowlab. this post illuminates certain aspects of the web from the public sphere angle. applying debord's notion of "drifting" to the internet, this provides for a critique of the click-through structure in order to control exposure (msn - "where do you want go today?"):

"Guy Debord, describing the situationist practice of the dérive (“drifting”), calls it "a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances."

He goes on to say "Dérives involve playful-constructive behavior and awareness of psychogeographical effects, and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll. In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.""

glowlab also seems to organize a psychogeographical forum. maybe debord's description of late industrial society is becoming more applicable these days.
