What Is So Bad About Local?

Started by andrewhyde · 8 months ago

At PodCampAZ there were not a lot of statements I disagreed with.  One was that podcasting has a future (without iTunes actually creating a way for creators to sell their works, which was promised years ago).  The other one was Chris Pirillo, explaining how BrightKite scares him.%C ...

    Hey Andrew, interesting P.O.V., to which I might add... You've been my neighbor, right next door, for years now. We grunted hello a few times, but I thought you shuffled off to a drudge job every day and never really talked to you. When I signed up for Brightkite, the first thing I saw was someone else had visited our shared street address, 101 Pearl in Boulder. It was you. How cool. I've been loving your tweets and blogs and GPS wanderings ever since. Ever since, I've been dying to talk to you, since you have an obviously fascinating and fulfulling life. Weird to say and think it out loud, but I wouldn't've know all that without Brightkite, and all your various other hanging-your-life-out-there social media contributions. I was even thinking, maybe we should do a video interview with each other before we really sit down and talk in meatspace like normal neighbors, about startups and Moab and bike commuting and gardening. You know, make it a social media 'event'. Sorry I assumed anything about you as stupid as projected a drudge job on you. I've seen a lot of twenty-somethings come and go in those apartments over the past twelve years.

    I saw you check in at home, and then saw that you were on twitter, facebook, etc.

    Weird that we have spoken more online than where we live, 15 yards away?

    I would love to do some video on this, think it would be really interesting.

    Awesome the BrightKite connected us.
