Although I fictionalized “Marxist Internet Propaganda”, I wanted to, finally, get some of the ideas down regarding my thoughts on the future of the so-called information age.

There is a synergy, a sort of inspirational fuel, that I get from your writing. When I read A Thousand Reflective Poly-cognitions, I knew I had found a kindred spirit.

I hope we keep writing and inspiring each other for years to come.

A good belly laugh from time to time is always a treat, too, so keep writing those hilarious horror stories!

Cheers,

Mitch

That’s a fantastic piece of writing, which actually incited new thought from my perpetually evolving mind. You have deeply philosophical cognition of technology and how it compares/contrasts with society. You are simply an amazing writer in so many ways – I am seriously glad I met you.

As I move forward in this life of mine, deeply impacting moments of realization come less often – I sometimes have to read something from a completely unique perspective to inspire new thought. My goal in life is to think – aside from any job – and strive for excellence in being a human being.

For me, writing my blog is very important. It’s more than just to learn and meet new, interesting people, it’s about truth. Though I’m not religious (I am spiritual, whatever that means), I am drawn to building thoughts and developing them in my mind – I have my own publisher and viewer class growing separately together in my mind – I have many classes and oblique, parallel, consonant and dissonant overlords studying myself and relating the information back to many other me’s from every possible angles – but I digress.

Have a great night Mitch

You and your flames! LOL I’d say you’re already on fire.
Social media is what keeps me plugged in to great writers like you. (I found one post via your Twitter updates and your Bailout series via feedly.)

The point you made about blogs is exactly right. Yet, social media is to blogs as a cocktail party is to a house party: you never know who is going to pop in on a social media network. Of course, the more famous your blog becomes, the more people show up at its doorstep.

Cheers,

Blogging is social networking isn’t it? Hahaha! You have a fine manifesto!

I use facebook to promote my articles and that automatically adds them to twitter. If I tried to keep up with all of it, my medulla oblongata would burst into flames

For me, social media sites give me what we had on WritingUp.com:

A chance to comment
A chance to promote
A chance to make a buck (e.g. Qassia 100% AdSense)

Just as WU had a spectrum of members with varying expectations, so it is with the collective Social Media Space.

The big advantage WU had was the close-knit community.
I suppose you can find that on some social media sites – FaceBook, I think – but for the most part, you wind up hanging by the pool with your pals and chatting with whoever comes by.

One question; Are these sites really that important? And for what reason?

Okay, that was two questions. So sue me.

It was shortly after becoming frustrated with Plurk that I wrote Stretching Social Media.

I think the Manifesto is the culmination of my realization that, at the end of day, it gets dark.*

Cheers,

Mitch

* That just means life goes on. Do what you can and leave the rest to the other folks.
