Very interesting read, and deeply disappointing because it fails to provide any sort of conclusion, advice, prescription, etc. The summary of this article could be "Gee, we sure are sharing a lot of stuff on social networks these days."

It's very eloquent, but lacks a point. Shame.

Also I was very disappointed to find out that it actually had nothing to do with helicopters following the author.

Thanks. You saved me the trouble of reading it.

before I opened it, I said to myself "oh great another article about the wikileaks founder"

I had the exact same response; although I was confused since he had apparently already been stripped of his passport (or something along those lines).

I think this article shows that there are broadly two types of people. Those that perhaps hold onto notions of living from their very early years, and others that are constantly questioning and delving into things to see where they lead.

I don't know if there is a simple term for it but another thing this reminds me of is how often people that actually take time out to think through a solution for something are considered "dumb" by the majority that just prefer to tap into the existing knowledge base. I think that'll change but there might not necessarily be a way to force the progression. It'll just start to happen when there are no other options.

Whatever merit the article has I can do without the terrible branding. This is where Toadjaw comes handy: http://toadjaw.com/article?url=http://tweetagewasteland.com/...

Why didn't he call it Howard's End?!

Oh wait, was there more to the article? cough
