cones of silence

picking flowers (or noses) in walled gardens
This show we are joined again by guest Laurel Papworth, social network strategist from Sydney. Laurel, Mike and I have a long discussion about social networks, the need for spaces where we can find the freedoms to be all who we are. A lot of the talk also goes into aspects of closed and open communities, the need to erect gates both to ourselves and our communities, where that responsibility should lay and a lot of other interesting issues about how we relate as people online. Facebook as the latest incarnation of the meme gets a fair bit of airplay.
This is a long one, two hours. But rather than cut it up, please make use of your pause button.

[...] In light of the article in Wired and its’ call to action for a “Open Social Net” and the long discussion on this topic that Laurel, Mike and I had on our latest podcast, this quote by Doc Searls over on the Project VRM blog is very timely. Earth to walled-garden builders: You can’t own customers for the same reason you can’t own slaves: they’re human beings, and they want to be free. [...]

[...] In fact, I think I did in our latest mind-numbingly long (2hrs) podcast. [...]

[...] So thank you Mr. Biff - I’m flattered. The episode you listened to and sliced up was the most extremely rambly and long ‘thinking out loud’ session Dave and I have ever done. In fact, we both discussed cutting it down to less than one hour - glad we didn’t. Looking forward to meeting you on a future episode of extraordinary.thepodcastnetwork.com.
