Well, you've hit upon another aspect of Web 2.0 there Momus, although not one you're inclined to criticise. Sure, everyone is interested in themselves and what other people think of them. But Web 2.0 seems to magnify this impulse a thousandfold. I mean, can you imagine walking into a room of people and asking them all if they've dreamed about you lately, and could you please tell me all about the dreams you have about me? Or accosting people with a list of everything you've done in the noughties and what you think about it now? People who go on and on about themselves in "meatspace" tend to get pegged as bores, don't they? But not in the wonderful world of the Web, which is all about jostling, thrusting individualism.
