Social Web c. 1997
The modern social web as it would have looked in 1997. They even limit the transfer to dial-up speed, which is funny and infinitely frustrating.
This is awesome. I wonder if I can get a browser plugin to change my Facebook page to look like this.
A life, as seen through Facebook.

“So what used to fit in a building, now fits in your pocket, what fits in your pocket now will fit inside a blood cell in 25 years.”
Wow.

100 Words - Andy Welfle [Reblog]
“Social media is most effective if you are consistent and patient. Being authentic is important, because the hive mind of the internet can filter out deception and worthless claims. Effective social media users are honest, open, and engage in multiple conversations. Try to find a happy medium between authenticity and a comfortable level of personal privacy. If you use social media for a business or charity, don’t just produce content — interact with others, and you’re sure to build followers and be a valuable contributor to the world wide web.”
Andy Welfle is the managing director of the Fort Wayne Dance Collective, and an active participant in social media.

I love social media, but I don’t know why.
Just today I went to Firefly to have a meeting with some Arts United colleagues, and on the way to my table, I remarked to a woman sitting on near the counter that I liked her MacBook. That was, of course, because I had one just like it.
After the meeting, I checked my tweets, like you do after you’re done with meetings, and saw this:
@awelfle Firefly is awesome. I was the girl with the other MacBook. ;)
She used some kind of location-awareness program to track me down, and realized that I was tweeting from the same local network she was! My mother or another less “online” person might think that was creepy. I’ve decided a while ago to embrace my online identity. If I was going to tweet my locations, I should be prepared to meet new people and be prepared to talk about myself with someone I’ve never met.
Anyway, if you stumble across this blog, find me on Twitter. I’m usually good about notifying everyone where I’m going if I am up for visiting.
