Interesting stuff popping out today around the net on social tools and face to face. \u00a0 On the OSLIST, there was a little discussion on using twitter and facebook and the pros and cons. \u00a0 I posted these thoughts:<\/p>\n
I love the social tools because they allow me to connect with and get to know people in far flung areas who are closer to me in thought and spirit than those who are nearby. \u00a0 For me, twitter, facebook, skype and blogging are a means to an end, and that end os sharing open face to face conversations with folks that are in disperate places, but with whom I learn a lot.<\/p>\n
And something to think about intergenerationally is that there are teenagers now who have lived their entire lives in a world with blogging, skype, and facebook. \u00a0 Think about that for a minute. \u00a0 These people don’t consider these technologies to be old at all. \u00a0 They consider them the default setting.<\/p>\n
In a time when intergenerational conversation is becoming more important (how do we talk to the people with whom we have saddled with a trillion dollar debt, to explain to them to follies of our excess?) knowing a little about how these technologies enable self-organizing behaviour among digital natives is very important. \u00a0 And learning to use them I think is as important as employing other powerful social technologies like, say, Open Space.<\/p>\n
So I don’t begrudge the unwillingness to particiapte in the collective monkey mind (thanks Karen!) or the pining for real contact, but I do encourage people to learn about and play with these tools, just like we have with OST and see what happens…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And then today, a couple of posts in the feed. \u00a0 Wendy Farmer-O’Neil dives back into blogging with a piece on “Web 3.0”<\/a> and my neighbour and friend Emily van Lidthe de Jeude offers a lovely reflection<\/a> on working with real world intimacy and global connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
