Over the past 6-months, flickr and gmail status has become away for my friends to keep in touch on what we do without actually ever having to talk to each other on the phone or even on IM. We know when John is having a bad day from his Gtail Status, or that Zoe went to see a show at Fillmore last night (via Flickr or even Upcoming) or the fact I started smoking again (as declared on my GTalk Status). It is very interesting level of social interaction. It is ambient for sure, but also somewhat passive in the sense you just "push" the content out there, but never confirm if anyone ever "reads" it or not. I can definately relate.

I only knew you had been snowboarding recently because I looked at your blog and saw the photos! btw, it looked fantastic - I can see why it is called Heavenly with the blue of the lake, the white snow and the blue sky. Have a good trip. I understand what you mean. I only knew you had been snowboarding recently because I looked at your blog and saw the photos!
