“up there”: ultimate panopticon win.

Yeah but I’m sure Foucault is up there checking the blogs for just these kinds of discussions. We’re on the right track….

I think we’re both agreed on that, and I’m glad that the comment on the wall and this blog post did enough to tease this out. The trouble is of course it’s just you and me (who were already in the privileged position at the event) having this dialogue.

We can do both – reflect and engage. The point I was trying to draw out at the session was more about language, rhetoric and (although this point didn’t emerge during the debate) power relationships.

@Nick Booth – I did and I felt ashamed as I wrote it down

@Dave Harte – I do know what you mean, and I’m happy to meet you in the middle: some writing and examination of form is good, but this does present problems. The weight of reflection is quite overwhelming though, and does create barriers to other people understanding what we’re all talking about when they try to join in. I’m sure you (of all people) have more ambition for social media than its currently achieving (cf http://daveharte.com/birmingham/fine-but-show-me-how-the-web-can-solve-real-issues/)

“I have an unwritten rule not to blog or tweet about Twitter unless I can avoid it.”

Did you just write that down?

I wish I’d spotted this quote before I left. That’s like saying we shouldn’t make films about film-making. All media examines itself – it’s part of the process of shaping use, interrogating it as a form.

More tweets about twitter are what’s needed, not less.
