Worlds collide
August 8, 2008
The other day, I discovered that Facebook has a blog networks application, which, if it was still 2004, I would’ve avoided like a Lindsay Lohan movie. I sometimes find myself wondering why for so long, it was acceptable to publish pictures of drunken shenanigans on a social network, but I was terrified to own up to my running commentary on plane rides and professors. Why was that more offensive?
Fast forward four years, and my real-life friends are sending chain emails about their latest blog posts.
David Karp: People have been so paranoid about having any presence online for such a long time. A lot of them have gone through that transition of ‘Well, shit, it’s out there. I’m searchable on Flickr or Google.’ The cat is out of the bag, and the only way to take back that control is to get out there and have a presence, have an identity that you feel represents you.
American Eagle is bringing the New American Music Union to Pittsburgh over the next two days, and I’m anticipating that it’s going to be one of the biggest festivals the city has seen for a while. I’ll be down there for the majority of the weekend, so please hold your ears if my excited updates are becoming too much.
