>But, actually, for all I know Scope could be a group of people, or he could be a succession of individuals, one trusted party taking over from the other when the former finally retires. In principle, a digital person is a-pattern created by online communties, existing above and beyond any one individual.<

Which is a design pattern not unique to digital people, recall the 20th C. mathematician Nicolas Bourbaki.

Thank you for this, Extropia, I've been thinking about avatar as Brand, and Scope as well many other great designers and creators came to mind.

My communications are not there to be hijacked by some fool with an open wallet to try and upsell/x-sell or otherwise pitch the reader.

Twitter can do the ethical thing and sell subscriptions to users instead of selling us.

Yipe! Thanks, love. I think I managed to mangle the title up with "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity," damned strings messing with my brane.

I have to strongly disagree with #7. Many of the friends I follow on twitter have strong political, religious (or lack thereof) leanings, and while I may disagree with them, they are whole people, and their faith is what makes them who they are.

Of course, I may be misunderstanding the thrust of your post entirely, and you're discussing using Twitter as PR and or brand management.

But that, I think misses the point of social software as well.

Thanks for suggesting this. Just got off the phone with my DSL provider and saved myself $30 a month.
