But for those who want to remind themselves of Dylan's offering - http://www.bigeye.com/donotgo.htm will get them there. <BR/><BR/>I guess it's all relative. I often feel like I'm falling further and further behind the main stream Internet fanatics. Social media is still pretty new to many people, but just about anyone with a story to tell these days is finding utility in Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. <BR/><BR/>To give you an idea, I've just started following Malcolm Gladwell on Twitter. But you can follow just about any journalist or media outlet you like using social media to help you filter their message. <BR/><BR/>Another one of my favorites is Freakonomics. Whenever a short blurb is published, it's automatically pushed to me to investigate or ignore as I please. For example, the most recent tweet asks the question, "Will the Fictional Mormons Influence the Real Ones?" referencing a piece about HBO's Big Love and its affect on the Mormon community. <BR/><BR/>I say, whatever works for you in slogging through the crap and finding the treasure. <BR/><BR/>Now...back to USC and Arizona State...<BR/><BR/>DonDon Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812331053850930421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654781.post-15626486609834974012009-03-12T15:31:00.000-04:002009-03-12T15:31:00.000-04:00Twitter, Face book, someone in my face or whatever...Twitter, Face book, someone in my face or whatever: these new age things are a challenge to many of us post war types. I just got used to the idea of "blog", and that seemed to be a stretch, and now...up to the minute, quick and sundry narratives--too much, too fast, too beyond my remaining brain cells.<BR/><BR/>So I will just continue to read your story and appreciate the information that you provide: sometimes overwhelming, always informative...please keep the story going.<BR/><BR/>Poetically, perhaps Dylan Thomas' description of that good night better describes matters of importance than Eliot's hollow man.<BR/><BR/>As always, my best wishes to you and yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
