Technology works for you. And you. And you…
The old style bloggers had to learn it the hard way, i.e. discover how to create their own identity, reach out to their peers and audiences, share the sublime and the ridiculous (grant you, there is more of the latter than the former but so what?). Similarly, many more people are learning to blur the line between public and private through online social networks. They are also learning that technology is easy, modular and ultimately works for them and not the other way around. This is valuable and is the seed of disruption in the years to come…
It is like taking driving lessons. There is no recognisable direction. It seems kind of pointless unless you know that it is just learning and practising. Facebooks and MySpace seems a lot like that to me. But once people work out how to drive and how to get from point A to point B, they will be able to decide what the B is. And that’s when the real fun starts.
