"I can’t think of anything that demonstrates the sovereign nature of the self better than a blog.” - Doc Searls
About the Author
Stowe Boyd is a well-known media subversive,
and an internationally recognized authority on real-time, collaborative
and social technologies. His new blog is Message.
I am an avid user of Plazes, as any regular of Get real knows, since my geolocation is always showing up over there in the left margin, and occasionally I post the map of my recent travels, like this:
Right now, I have surpassed Joi Ito in the list of top discoverers, but only in the category of plazes discovered. I need to invite like 10 or so people to the service to really cut his throat. If there are any volunteers, please email me at stowe -AT- corante.com. Whatever you do, don't go and sign up first. I won't get any points for that. And don't tell Joi... I want to sneak up on him.
And yes, I walked from the Syndicate conference in Times Square to my hotel on 24th, stopping at like 7 Starbucks along the way, yesterday. It was a beautiful day, and I have been at one conference too many recently with "content providers" talking about "monetizing" their feeds by directing "eyeballs" to the right ads, and so on. I am getting cranky in my old age.
