This is an amazing analysis of social media, from Eugene Wei. He looks into the heart of social media from an entrepreneurial perspective and comes to the understanding the success or failure in SM is dependent on how well it facilitates creation and distribution of status. Tom Wolfe would be proud.
The lost world of 20 years ago. When he got to discussing the glorious, decentralized blogosphere we used to have versus the twitter/facebook/instagram monoculture of today, it got misty in here.
Most of what you read on the internet is written by insane people. Sort of. But never ever mistake social media for reality. In fact, never ever mistake any media for reality.
If you are of a certain age (probably over 50) and have a bit of a twisted sense of humor, you'll appreciate Cris Shapan's satirical ads and book covers. More here. I can't find a central repository (which would be a great Cris Shapan book title).
Nathan Pyle's comic strip, Strange Planet, is utterly delightful.
