DISQUS

Fun to hear.

I like that your blog captures images, conversations, and sounds. It's not only intellectual insights (which of course you can do very well).

Great point of view shaping up here.

Life goes way too fast.

Jesse,

Thanks for the great article.

Relationships in Facebook and other social networks are a bit odd. We're in a transitional phase where technology is allowing us to do some new things with relationships but it hasn't become sophisticated enough to give us a good way to manage those relationships.

We need easy ways to pick what matters and filter out what doesn't. It's like we're in the catepillar stage waiting to metamorphisize into something that will be more useful and will forge stronger ties.

Lawrence,

These are good notes on what I talked about. SNAP Summit 2.0 was an interesting event and I was glad to be part of it.

By the way, the article on Mass Interpersonal Persuasion is ready now. You and your readers can find it here:

Andrew,

You make a great point in your post. Our students were in an interesting situation where some were making more money than their parents because of a class project. Some were entertaining job offers and acquisition offers before the class ended.

It is an interesting time to be a part of the consumer internet. If you'd like to know more about the findings from our class, here are some slides from a recent presentation at the Graphing Social Patterns conference.
