Posting thoughts..on posting on the net.

The subject of shooting whatever is on your mind straight out onto Facebook,Twitter etc may seem appalling in theory, causing you to wonder "who would want to do such a thing?" but yet we see it done nearly every second of everyday,it seems, at least to me that this new ability,to instantly post your thoughts and feelings to share with countless others has some sort of draw to it. paul levinson points it out just a tiny bit in the book. Since this is a fairly new trend that stemmed from things like forums and internet boards.This phenomena of people posting their day to day goings also ties into the issue of privacy. Do you really want everyone know where've you been and what you're currently up to?

  1. Have you seen Lamebook? It's like a reanimation of the silliest posts from Facebook and other social media sites. http://www.lamebook.com/

    Your post made me think of it.
