new socialism, kinda
Wikipedia, Flickr, and Twitter aren’t just revolutions in online social media. They’re the vanguard of a cultural movement. Forget about state ownership and five-year plans. A global collectivist society is coming—and this time you’re going to like it.
that’s wired’s kevin kelly in The New Socialism: Global Collectivist Society Is Coming Online. for so long i have wanted to write a proper blog post about this new socialism i am so very happy to be a part of. but i have to face, that when i’m at my most uptight ambitious, my energy is not spent on this blog. this blog is for recreation. creativity. curiosities. well-being. and expression. of which at least the latter has been used up. and so for a while instead of blogging, i spend my evenings listening to all kinds of music in the one world. blipping is also expression, but a very undemanding one. it expresses your taste in music. and the bits of your personality or pov that you care to share. this is the web. where japan greets you good morning at night. and where colleagues across the atlantic take over when you leave work. few hours to talk and chat and webex and share, but we’re interacting and that is the norm. the web empowers us all. as prosumers. creating, sharing, interacting. with individuals and companies. with the ones who get it. we all have to get it, and will eventually.
but for now, ladies & gentlemen who come across this post in search of insights on the new socialism, although in the light end of it, blip.fm stays on the front page. enjoy.
