Feel Reality

The Reality of The Internet

Thursday, November 15, 2007

The virtual world lives in a vacuum of dreams and potential that facilitate our real world view. On the web we are all authors, movie producers, photographers and ad execs thriving in obscurity, masquerading professionalism.  By now we have all “drank the koolaid” we know the lingo, we are dialed in.  A nation of circle backers, pencil inners and water cooler warriors; plopped down on our sofas, laptop in hand, desperately trying to escape the monotony. 

Some of us have made it big. We have discovered that little sliver of golden something, inside something, that makes us all tick. Why we congregate, what we assign value to, why we linger. Big things come and go quickly on the internet, they replicate, blowup and wash away.  We all try to be that voice, after the voice has spoken.  We carry the words of the great and dilute them until they no longer have that special ring to them, then we move on.  It seems so pale, so desolate, so… Real?  The social net; magnified, juiced up and flowing faster than we can observe.  You need to take a step back, look at the outside perspective. View the situation as a whole… What got us here? What is working.  How do I make it happen?  How do we avoid the crash? 

We now embark on a journey to taste the virtual and feel that it is in fact real.  This blog is about my view of the new world. The malleable online universe that all of us shape and mold as our own.
