via Waffle<\/a> & Brent Simmons<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Eventually, communities moved from BBSes and newsgroups to forums, email, chats and instant messaging. But at some point, it became \u201csocial media\u201d, and forms of media turned into products. And this isn\u2019t just Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, it goes as far back as del.icio.us, Flickr and Yahoo Groups.<\/em><\/p>\n

The reason I don\u2019t like social media is that it takes two things that are polar opposites and duct tapes them together. Your own utility \u2013 to save links, to write text, to move files or materials, to keep notes, to communicate with yourself in the future, to communicate with some other specific people \u2013 and the social media outlet\u2019s desire to fulfil its own objectives first.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a recipe for tone-deafness at best. But it\u2019s also an explanation of why so many people are so uneasy with social media.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and from Brent:<\/p>\n

My blog\u2019s older than Twitter and Facebook, and it will outlive them. It has seen Flickr explode and then fade. It\u2019s seen Google Wave and Google Reader come and go, and it\u2019ll still be here as Google Plus fades. When Medium and Tumblr are gone, my blog will be here.<\/em><\/p>\n

The things that will last on the internet are not owned. Plain old websites, blogs, RSS, irc, email.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I remain vigilant on maintaining my independent presence on the web. I own the formatting, the database, the design, the \u2018about me\u2019 page (BTW, it\u2019s horribly outdated) and I curate what I want to show to the world. I like that both bloggers are making examples of Web 1.0 products more than the 2.0 products we have today. My linked category on this blog will out live Del.icio.us for sure! The only service I haven\u2019t divested of in my life is Flickr and Google Voice. Flickr is very challenging. I simply don\u2019t have the CPU & Storage to serve up photos. My Flickr albums have been viewed over 3.1 million times since 2005..on average, I get 3-5 thousand views a day of my Flickr photos. I can\u2019t support that with my own server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Waffle & Brent Simmons: Eventually, communities moved from BBSes and newsgroups to forums, email, chats and instant…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-10-17T19:24:21Z","apple_news_api_id":"1dbb5d3e-7a03-4432-b35d-4a83ba53302d","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-10-17T19:24:21Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AHbtdPnoDRDKzXUqDulMwLQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-16o","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7550,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/08\/22\/inessential-real-life-in-seattle\/","url_meta":{"origin":4240,"position":0},"title":"inessential: Real Life in Seattle","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"August 22, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"inessential: Real Life in Seattle: And now that we\u2019re all replacing Twitter with other things for our social needs \u2014 with Mastodon for some people, Micro.blog for some (including me), Slack, Snapchat, plus falling back to the usual things like blogs and texting and email \u2014 we should remember that\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Linked"","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":5521,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/03\/10\/linked-tech-too-big-to-fail\/","url_meta":{"origin":4240,"position":1},"title":"Linked: “Tech too big to fail”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"March 10, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Scripting:\u00a0 Sanders may think that campaign finance is the primary issue but imho it's not.
