Re: [videoblogging] Former Apple Employee No. 68 Creates Cellphone Content

[Michael Meiser]

It's a very clue-train manifesto concept. The content doesn't matter at all, it's the dialogue that goes on around it.  You might well be talking about modern art. It's not the art, it's the conversation and the ideas it provokes. I like it. It gives me cart blanc to make bad videos. :) I have my own saying. "Talk is cheap, and that's what makes it so great."  ...and I guess the same thing now applies to media. A huge proliferation of cheaply produced media on the web is not a negative thing. Everyone should be able to make videos anytome they like. Of course i'm always reminded of William Burroughs... "...to vulgarize and falsify untill the bare lies shine through."  My alter ego is so bad at everything it's good.  That is the concept of so called naive art. But naive art does not do this deliberatly and maliciously like Burroughs implies. No, he was talking about the great capitalistic American way. -Mike On May 21, 2006, at 4:55 AM, Jan wrote: http://tinyurl.com/okawg   From the NY Times article wherein former Apple employee No. 68 says, "Content is just a means to an end, so there's something to talk about," he said. In other words, social connection trumps all.   Content. Content. Content. The ulterior motive for consuming content is social networking. Holy cow.   XO, Jan -- "It isn't done alone.
