It's Virtually Graffiti

It seems that no matter what the medium or forum, people will always find a way to comment on the status quo. In a virtual environment, maybe graffiti doesn't have to be flat, but it does need to maintain a relationship with whatever it's trying to "own". Graffiti without context ceases to be.

It also needs to be identifiable as comment, possibly even be identifiable to the particular author, if only recognisable to a select few... It could even be something along the lines of an inside joke.

And it needs to be remembered: either by staying put, or by getting recorded.
