Now, I'm not here to point fingers at anyone, that's not going to get us anywhere. Perhaps instead, I should be pointing my finger at where we need to be headed. If you've been paying attention through the past few months, there's this thing I've been waving my arms around about, this "development community" thing, but I had yet to come up with a good definition.
What is Wetfish?
Imagine a place where people who like to do stuff hang out. You can come up with an idea to see if it flies, and find the people to make it happen too. Imagine a town centre, someone complains?there should be a fountain here!?perhaps a plumber and sculptor overhear the complaint, then offer their help. On the internet, we're all connected, but at the same time, we're separated by all the noise. Wetfish's purpose is to bring together the people willing to do something.

Look, I'll tell you a story, alright? I once fell deeply, ya know, profoundly in love with tropical fish. Had 60 god damn fishtanks in my house. I skin-dived to find just the right ones. Anisotremus virginicus, Holacanthus ciliaris, Chaetodon capistratus. You name it.
Then one day I say, "fuck fish". I renounce fish. I vow never to set foot in that ocean again. That's how much "fuck fish".

From the old wetfish website (circa 2011 - 2012)
Quote
For years people have been asking what wetfish is, and for years we’ve refused to give them a straight answer. Why? Because mystery is sexy. Almost as sexy as you. If we told you wetfish was a ragtag group of artists, programmers, friends, and dropout hippies dancing around with flaming hula hoops, would you still like us?
Of course you would, but that doesn’t matter. We’re not here to make friends, we’re here to win. Wetfish is dedicated to showcasing the best the internet has to offer. A beacon of hope and truth, founded on the principles of love and freedom. Don’t get the wrong idea, we won’t force you to join the local co-op or make you sew your own clothes, we’re just desperate for your attention. More desperate than the guys you picked up from craigslist.
So please, pull up a chair, crash your golf cart into the livingroom, or learn how to fly if you have to. Just play nice, alright?

I've been debating for a long time whether I should share this or not. Truth be told, I just love it so much and now feels like the right time to release it out into the wild.
A few years ago, I was commissioned to write a theme song for a website called Wetfish.net. This is the song that I wrote for them. When I submitted it for their approval, it was rejected.
I'm not sure if it was because of the gratuitous lyrics about a man hiding his internet activity from his wife, or because the song also serves as sort of a love letter to Night Court actor John Larroquette.
Perhaps it was because none of these things had anything to do with their website. We may never know.

Was this song commissioned by wetfish in the first place?

(X-posting this from the Town Hall Meeting thread)
What is Wetfish?
I finally found an apt answer for this question. The answer being: I think it's best described as "a good chunk of internet".
Of all that which the internet offers, I find Wetfish providing the better experience. It's all-around helpful. It doesn't have any real bounds on what it is, just that it keeps up to par on quality for whatever it becomes.
Regardless, it's primarily a community, so perhaps I should just say "it's a genuine piece of the social net" instead.
