It's beautiful. My sister sent me this blog post and I'm glad I read it. I, too, need to hide out and not be so "out there" and connected all the time to FB and the internet. I have to learn to "turn it off". And I have to re-connect with people either face-to-face or in those private groups on FB that you pointed out. I don't know about them but I'm going to look into it.<br />Thank you.<br />PattiPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512099085568969698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-8055070316777267352011-01-18T09:03:39.328-05:002011-01-18T09:03:39.328-05:00I like the idea of secret gardens...I like the idea of secret gardens...tammynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-48441336134983674082011-01-11T10:37:21.527-05:002011-01-11T10:37:21.527-05:00Ahh, Brent.

I think So...Ahh, Brent. Well, you're a daisy!<br /><br />I think SoMeFat is really just general burnout. Probably not even that particular to Social Media -- it's just a larger symptom of too much to do all of the time.<br /><br />I think social will get more micro. It's human nature to cluster with our families and tribes. <br /><br />As SoMe has gained wider acceptance the tribe of the "public sphere" has gotten way more macro than it was when we all started. There is comfort in the micro...Cammy Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164253880427035485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-53497703365366409322011-01-11T10:09:42.529-05:002011-01-11T10:09:42.529-05:00Cammy, you're a peach!

Creating those private, secret gardens, where deeper connections, and trust can be built. And maybe they will be fluid: coming and going as needed in each our lives. Maybe there isn't anything new about this. Perhaps this is just the digital version of the Moose Lodge, or VFW. <br />As for SoMeFat, well I think we all suffer from it from time to time. I'm not one that jumps to quickly to turn off my social interactions, but dialing down social from macro to micro is refreshing.bschlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519463877110474192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-28387805713776490952011-01-10T23:58:48.115-05:002011-01-10T23:58:48.115-05:00The machine is us.The machine is us.Cammy Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164253880427035485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-60480114295301987702011-01-10T23:45:25.102-05:002011-01-10T23:45:25.102-05:00Cammy, your post resonates with me.

Too little time for isolation, reflection, going solo; too much focus on contact, immediacy, joining the crowd. <br /><br />Remember, you can always cut off the machine.<br /><br />jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271633210993298646noreply@blogger.com
