linkedIn

The NYT has called me out to get LinkedIN and I have done so. I seem to be who they tell me to be.

I have also linked to the NYT article about LinkedIN, even though Michael Arrington at TechCrunch has been writing about the Associated Press backed by the NYT hating on anyone who quotes more than 4 words without paying. Arrington reports that the AP is going after bloggers for linking to them! This could get interesting. I'm a blogger. The internet is not much more than links to pages with more links.

After I signed up for LinkedIn, I was surprised at how many connections came back. Do we just stay on the computer all the time now? I've been thinking about cyberculture, and I have a pile of books on my desk about it. I'm working on a grand theory of my own. More to follow.
