The Written Web

Posted on Posted in da net, Farcebook, K Street Y, minimum daily requirementTagged , , , ,

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

Posted on Posted in bead game, big bits, overnight notes, twits, Valley Hi


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

Blogs Are Dead

Posted on Posted in overnight notes

yep. As a vehicle carrying you to fame; not dead for why they began. Awareness of your world. They started as a “log” — journal based commitment. First, a homepage before the net was “e” and “ramp” … WEBLOG, the word arose in 1997; prior to that written pages were widespread with links to other pages. Some people were gathering those links into categories.

We long to shorten words: chop off the WE becoming WEBLOG

Interactivity has changed. Exchange of ideas is once again metered. The best pay brings the “creators” to the packagers.

Small Screen Web. Narrow Gauge Reading.

The word count has a best-fit value; an optimum. TOP. crein. YC attempt to reach this value. Each of these appropriate different audiences. They fish the same stream using different size hooks.

// traffic. teriffics, but few ideas. A topic, influence, influencer influenza of words. Digression to the optimum medium

the net of the net — is it is an advertising agency 

advertising is the Internet .

no intent to inform but to opinionate you

there isn’t information there are opinions .

The more divided the market, the greater the range of products we can sell .

amateurs never have to be correct . Professionals, in the presence of other professionals, stake some of their future value on their offered opinion. Amateurs ask small questions as they make big conclusions. Professionals answer questions with examples, or links to manufacturers. They demonstrate; test their opinions… whereas amateurs talk about other, prior news items as yet unresolved… talk biz about a biz they don’t grok.

Ams talk, mostly fear. Professionals find opportunity.

ASIDE: big questions: how do you know when to stop using a developer– probably regarding exhaustion point of a developer. in other times, it was called the capacity, or durability.  chemicals have a storage life along with a use rate to reach exhaustion . large labs used replenishment systems to maintain chemical activity over thousands of rolls of film. ANSWER: look for the datasheet for your developer. PRACTICAL: I use one shot.
