IPv4 , the last version, was thought up in the world that existed when PCs didn’t exist, really, and no one could even imagine that, well, you’d want to give your refrigerator an IP address.

I started the social culture discussion with a story describing an Twitter and board meeting experiment I did back in 2008. I dreamed up some scenarios of boards and social media in practice based on my experience in 2008. It also made me wonder about how you could parallel what happens in other channels, like the phone.

In 2008, I found Ravelry. The people who make the yarn and the patterns are also members, and they can communicate with the folks who do their work and see and comment on their progress. I can stare a picture of beautiful yarn the way a foodie would study a picture in Gourmet Magazine. I know, it’s strange.

Nonprofits are charged much lower rates (see comment below.) It’s quite interesting, and it deals with the audio over phone issue (which is a major snag) by dispensing with two-way audio entirely, and just using one-way audio. at 9:18 am { 18 comments… read them below or add one } 1 Tracey Grant 08.17.07

My motivation was a simple act of reciprocity (not what you might read in some of these comments ). Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way.
