Love And MySpace

There was a time when people announced relationships via letters, telephone, and word of mouth. Important relationships like engagements and marriages were announced in special sections of the local newspapers. This still happens.

Welcome to the modern world where a relationship isn't 'official' until it you announce it in a bulletin on MySpace and/or put a picture of your lover on your profile. Instead of being published beside notices for garage sales or obituaries announcements can follow bulletins asking 'Are feet sexy?' or quizzes to determine which Ninja Turtle a person is.

The world progresses but the news remains the same. Love is fine and dandy but if it is happening to someone else keep it near something readable. If a reader can't reach a friend to congratulate them then at least they can go back and take a quiz. ^__^

Cheers

Interactions

Today was a fun day full of odd interactions between cyberspace and 'realspace'.

Work was busy but not too hectic. When someone asked about websites with music I showed them Radio Blog Club and 2 Lazy 4 Radio. At the blog we laughed while listening to The Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When I got home I went online and chatted with friends. We enjoyed the fact that people liked our music blog.

Lot's of music was posted today at 2 Lazy 4 Radio. We listened to each others posts and sometimes commented. Members of the blog were interacting with each other.

Community is built upon the interactions of its members. Today my offline and online communities blended together and created something more. It was an odd and satisfying feeling.
