Re: <nettime> Has Facebook superseded Nettime? |
interesting point because of the direction of questioning it this way. i guess multi-structures in infotainment and content-spreading have to becoming more convergent when most of the people you know are dislocated via several threads on facebook and/or twitter, tumblr, rss, a.s.o. mailinglists in this perspective are just to bulky to handle and to quantitative in selection-models of individual needs in many cases. on the other hand the read/write style has really changed a lot through so-called social networking, also the way of communication- styles. not to support this issue totally but just look at the nettime posts - they are long, context rich and mostly good written - means: time- consuming and think-intensive (read/write) in this sense i guess not the friendlier but the "verbindlichkeits" (conntectivity?) level seems scale-free on FB supports multidynamic but maybe less reflective/critical engagement for sure the side effects you mentioned appear. for artists this is a challenge as well (for example fresco gamba aka flash gordo aka yuko.at) along others deal with social-network platforms as art-forms to delineate abstract levels of usability and attention. just my bits and pieces - but i would join a nettime facebook best GR # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org
