Physicality in(out)come of the Network
11Feb2005 Filed under: networks Author: Marcia HansenHenry has a good list of what network literacy evokes for him — it’s thought provoking, including my own place on it.
Thinking of my place in the node:
Generally speaking, there are so many passive activities that we can become involved with, and I think blogging helps ameliorate some passivity. For example, I look on blogging as better (read: more active) than passive reading or watching tv. But, I’m still sitting in a chair doing it.
I have noticed that I’ve been reaching out to others more in my “real” life to form a stronger community of people who are undergoing similar stresses. In that sense, I think blogging has made me more aware of the economy of both online and offline social networks.

I’m thinking about this concept that seems to pop up the Weinberger’s Small Pieces Loosely Joined… he doesn’t say it as such, but after reader your comments about the “activity” of blogging — of be on the network — I wonder if a lot of the difficulty isn’t in the hang up with the physicality of an activity.
Wow, that’s a really dense sentence. I think I’m trying to say that you’re on to something with the passive/active activties thinking. I think there’s space there to pry open something more tangiable — something closer to Weinberger is attempting to say about the space/time paradigm of the web.
So much to try to absorb
