The Mad Dash To Ubiquity

Image via WikipediaWe want to capture every gesture of everybody, we want to capture every flickr of every thought in every mind. What's up with us? That mad dash to ubiquity is very appealing to me for its democratic promise. Every person counts.

When I was working towards my IC - the Internet Computer - vision a few years back, I did not realize how fast the goal would be reached, largely without me. I mean, we are not there yet. But the pace is rather fast. The mobile phone penetration globally is amazing.

When a poet looks at a leaf, she looks at it afresh. And so it is not like when you look at something a second time, you see the same thing.

Angry Birds is now on Chrome, like I had all the time in the world. But then I do make time for Farmville on Facebook, don't I?

My Tumblr Just Got An Upgrade

I signed up for Tumblr as soon as it came out. Because I read about it in the news. Then I forgot about it. During Social Media Week last year (Social Media Week: The Best NY Tech MeetUp Ever) I attended a panel at JP Morgan, and I put a question to a panelist: Casey Culture. I said I was already on all sorts of social media platforms. Do I still need to be on Tumblr? She reasoned yes. So I became active on Tumblr. But it was a slow start. Then I came across a list by David Noel months later. He had listed the top tech entrepreneurs and VCs on Tumblr. I ended up following the entire list. Then it started making sense to visit Tumblr often.

My Tumblog

I mostly just reblog on Tumblr, and do I! My Blogger blogs are where my primary blogging happens. Pretty much everything I can do on Tumblr, I can do on Blogger as well. I like the idea of playing with some basic code. On Tumblr the editor in me comes out. You follow me and that is as good as following everyone I follow. That is the proposition.

I visit Tumblr near daily. And I spend a good chunk of time each visit, at least 30 minutes.
