plugging in…

i’m trying out the flock browser…since it seems that a large focus of my upcoming semester at ITP is going to be on the implications of the rise of the social web…i figure i might as well jump in whole heartedly.

i’m still reconciling privacy issues in the wake of the myspace generation but i’ll just have to treat my online identity in a similar fashion to my physical one. i’m accessible yet private and responsible for my actions. it seems as though the anonymity enjoyed as i’ve grown up with new telecommunication technologies has given way to the hyperpersonal…but most folks don’t seem to have come to terms with the inherent causality of this shift….

…take a deep breath…
