I submitted this item as a discussion starter to the Online Social Networks Conference 2005 conference and it will form a framework for my talk this week at Northern Voice. I include it here because it provides another perspective on the material I produce in this newsletter. The item consists of posts from last week, viewed through the prism of a single post (specifically, this one). Part of the point was to demonstrate the organization, part of the point is to demonstrate that there is an organization - my link selection is not random - but the most important part of the point is that the organization depends on your point of view. My writing is holographic; take any of my posts: that creates a prism. The rest of the material in this week's newsletter, last week's newsletter, or in my corpus as a whole takes a shape reflecting out from that prism, in a pattern suggested by the lens, and at certain end-points you find my papers - poor linear stream-of-consciousness reflections of what I saw one particular day at one particular time. This post? This is the key.
