The Written Web

exists, hypertext, however,  not so much .. The written web replaced the blog. The blog was managed by a person who traveled from blog blog by links.. now those written pieces are hosted on commercial space.. you provide the filler to their ads or you buy off the space…

Facebook doesn’t seem to permit the buy off; you will never own any piece of Facebook .. that’s also the path of Reddit..you are filler. . Substack you buy, as you can with WordPress..

The commercial web gave you ease of technical and took away your rights of privacy and profit .. you no longer have control because the technology has control… The things of the world have always been the world; owners of the things , even if they are digital things, own you

TELLING TALES

again and again. Making them taller, making your shadow longer. Done to impress the civilian, the non-participant, the one on the sidelines. Making a grand stand.

The difference between the part-timer and the full-timer. The committed and the interested in getting a story to tell. A tattoo for table talk. These aren’t scars, the are scarves.

Much of this can be seen in all message/gossip boards.. both among the “bro-vets” and the pho-photogs. As much about glorification of their small efforts..

They bought the boots, the perfect laces, compass and map; have taken a course on following course, even going so far as hiring a guide, once. And, now, the laces are knot free, the map is in a drawer, somewhere. 

The online answer boards are the ending gasp of film, chemical lab photography. They wouldn’t believe this. They don’t believe it. How could they be the ones killing what they want to survive. With error. Error of fact. By error of purpose is the greater weight the new would have to overcome. 

White Collar is


Is the new white power . It makes nothing but money Friction free economy produces nothing but more power to the white collar. Gone is the wet collar worker.

and politics produces the ivory collar scholar . no new knowledge just an addition to division.

between The pitch and the bitch
The pitch not a pit .
getting funded or fondled .

it's tech only because there's data a data store and marketing analysis . so the whole world web is just the back office of the marketing department in an ad agency.

you are your profile . A shadow self.
The difference between the amateur board and the professional board is the form of the conversation the discourse in the amateur case they lose nothing not even credibility since all the amateurs seem to be liars and exaggerating they can lose nothing other than amateur status they won't even be bounced from the board on the professional side they are exchanging information to verify and assure one another

The professional discourse has weight, because it's important to their career

The amateurs don't have a career and never did. The amateur site has a made up career; these are reenactors cosplay.

professionals are engaged in reality, amateurs in fantasy
