What do social networks do for me? Don’t know all they’ll do for me yet, but let’s start with:
Lets me interact with my CEO in a way I didn’t expect;
turned me onto VRM and Doc Searls;
let me learn a whole heap about things like jaiku ‘n twitter ‘n tumblr;
started me blogging again;
got me back into learning about the changes in this space;
and hey, lets me keep in touch with what my family are doing too!

That’s not too bad, is it.
Lifelong learning is pretty cool.

The most humbling part of this whole revolution… the idea that somewhere, someone may view you as a role model, an inspiration, a soulmate, a true friend.

The first time a young girl came up to me at a racetrack and said that she reads my blog religiously because she sees me as a “role model”, I was shocked. I originally started blogging as a personal scrapbook/journal of my racing adventures. Seeing it evolve and learning what having a “voice” really means has been empowering.

I’m staying with facebook mainly because I’ve I can connect it to my blog and in my line of business that seems like a good idea. Also heard that a ridiculous number of BBC staff are on there. I think it was something like 11,500 and since I make films it also makes sense to be there. Not that anything may come of it but if you are’nt in you can’t win.

Twitter is my real love. I have found interesting people through that and it seems like fun.

I’ve been part of the internet for so long now that it comes a time, it just seems pointless. We’re inundated with prevalent news, unreliable information, random senseless rants, all for…?

And then you stumble upon a good substantial read. You stayed a while and continue reading before you reach another level complacency.

It’s human nature, I’m afraid. Keep filtering.
