Re: I Am Gay

I first learned of this story in the early 80's thanks to the great Dead Kennedys song "I fought the law (and I won)". The punk zine that came with the album explained the story and since the song was great (it's a punk re-hash of the classic I fought the Law song) the story behind it has stayed in my consciousness ever since, and has always been a major factor in helping me stand up against prejudice even if I am not directly affected by the hate.

I think it's brave of you to be honest about your role playing past! Your imaginary self is real in a certain parallel universe in this reality of infinite possibilities! rock on!

Re: Looks like Google and Facebook will be competing with FriendFeed

"competition" might be a little confusing a word as I know I'll just add the new thing and not stop using the others. What makes these things work well is their synergy, and the exponential weight of linking.

Now, if things in the google friend feed get preferential treatment in ranking in the seach that would be a different story! If I can get an image indexed in google by using their friend feed I'd make that my number one service!!!

Re: Social Media – Our New Oral History

Social media is a ground level account of reality which is a good thing, but like history books that were only written by the winners and the fortunate (as Howard Zinn says, no slave ever wrote a history book from his perspective) social media is seeing the world from the perspective of people who have access to the technology.

For example, are we marginalizing senior citizens who used to write thoughtful letters to the editor in the papers we all used to read?

I think there's a third type of person, the creator of the content who would be a discoverer too I suppose. i like having my content in my feed mixed with my choices.

I hope artists aren't given the second class citizen treatment here too!
