Good video and simple effective graphics on social media, human interaction and loneliness. It
makes me feel guilty for sharing this as it makes fun of the "I share, therefore I am" mentality. I
recently started to make an effort to be more "sociable", posting some things on G+, Twitter,
LinkedIn, etc... which is not sociable. While I might continue to do those things, I need to get
out more and so some silly fun inane things with friends, in real time.

Hmm, has the media turned against "social media"?

Interesting. I like what Flutterby has done for me over the years, but I'm finding myself overly engaged without as much payoff as I'd like with Facebook and Twitter. At times it becomes a compulsive checking, a hope that there's going to be conversation, but it never really pays off in the ways that older mechanisms (mailing lists, even Usenet, here) did.
Going to have to think more about how I relate to those things...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
