Nick Carr says that Google users are "Dweebs", but I disagree. Dweebs wouldn't need to google most of this stuff. I'd say that they're wannabe geeks. Of course that could be the very defintion of dweeb. I rather like that as a differentiation.

AOL - Now here I have to agree with him. It would seem that the only people searching for these sorts of things would be the internet users who are more... advanced in their maturity. I can't imagine why anyone would still use AOL for anything though.
