I only joined this space a couple of days ago, on the recommendation of a co-worker at our digital shop. It trumps Facebook and Twitter, I must say, and a bunch of disparate blogs. Or, rather each of these has their purpose Yet one imagines that these places on the web will one day coalesce (perhaps not too far in the future) into “an” entity. Rather like using the telephone, writing letters, watching television, going to the movies, going to the record store and buying an album/CD and taking it home and playing it on a record player/disc player, firing up your laptop, all morphed into the iPhone. Those were hardware-driven, this will be software/wetware driven. It has to be something that will be an amalgam of all social networks and personal websites, et al.

If you know what it is going to be, tell me so i can “invent” it, or at least subscribe to it.

Otherwise, I’m going to recommend tumblr to people; and when I have more time, start exploring what’s out there. I’ve only found one person on tumblr so far, whose column I read in AdAge recently. But, doubtlessly, I be following 500 others before too long. Pourquoi non ?
