Nice Post on Social Networking Connectivity
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Picked this up on Socialmedian:
Broadcasting Brain – Hyperconnectivity shakes up six degrees of separation
Type 0 and 1 plus:
- Social media and Web 2.0 (social news, social bookmarking, and social networking)
- Microblogging, aggregators, lifestreaming, blog commenting
- Audio and video blogging
- Open IM clients (e.g. GTalk)
- Wireless connectivity
Communication advances have generally created faster and easier to use methods. In the pre-Internet era, nothing was faster than a phone call except for a face-to-face meeting (although travel time to arrange a face-to-face meeting was often prohibitive). Today we have a number of methods that allow virtually real-time interaction and more variations on them seem to appear on a regular basis.
Lots of visuals in this post. The author seems to be alluding to attention economy variables in Part II.

On a sadder note:
Kicked off the blogroll and banned for shady, backstage, conduct unbecoming of a decent blog:
Democracy Project
First time I’ve ever had to do that. Hopefully the last. I mention it only because I’ve previously guest-posted at DP and given them a fair number of links on behalf of a blogger and friend no longer associated with this crew. I no longer endorse the site nor can I recommend it to others.
