Re: Is social media becoming a social mess?

I see all this new internet technology as sprawled out fibers of a perpetually stranded together wire.The base of this wire is the internet itself, and as you move forward along the wire you start to find a chaotic fringe.

Toward the base you find the average user, which can never be accurately defined, who is acclimated to the use of email, reading of internet sites and even blogs (now). He or she also probably has a Facebook or MySpace page, and even uses instant messaging applications. These technologies were once on the fringe, and now they are mainstream because they're easily accesible, compatible, and, of course, useful.

As you move along the wire, toward the fringe, you'll find an inversely amount of users embracing newer technology, searching for the next greatest thing, or becoming the next social media elitist (I don't use that term pejoratively).

My point here is that while the fringe seems like a mess, the technology will all come together nice and snugly as time goes on. Applications that are deemed irrelevant or less useful will disappear, while the rest will meet aggregation and standardization.

I believe it's a good idea!

I say: don't worry if you think it's wrong. That's self-doubt, and it's only going to interfere with a thoughtful gesture.

Oh my....

The heart and stomach says, "No, god, no!"

But the taste buds and id go, "Yes, oh yes! More! Give it to me! Oh, god yes!"

You're obviously more than capable of expressing yourself in an intelligent manner, but your argument would have more weight if you would leave out the personal insults. It's like you have some personal vendetta as if somebody in the industry had destroyed your pastime, or something like that. Frankly, your attitude sucks and it's doing nothing for this discussion other than bringing it down.

Well said. Well said!

It's like you took my thoughts and expressed them for me.

Kudos!

All you need now is a bland office, a dark and dusky warehouse stacked full of bland looking crates, and, finally, a disgusting sewer (with rats).
