@npub13vv…0sze @npub1c7u…u85m I have to admit that with the advances in technology I do not understand conferences that are in-person only. Also - face-to-face interactions that result in on-going relationships with other attendees are vastly over-rated. In all my years of conference attending I'd be hard pressed to think of any.

@npub1m8a…khgv @npub1thd…h8wc it's SO much extra work. And yet - RSS feeds and email lists actuallly work!

@npub1m8a…khgv @npub1thd…h8wc from a personal perspective - as someone who has been a very active social media user since 2007 - I would not want to be a business/news org right now trying to figure out the best place to land. Communities I built over 16 years are now fractured in 3 or 4 places, none with the capabilities of what Twitter was.

@npub18c7…er9d way back in the day, before columns, I used an app called iTweet and would simply sit in the stream as words flowed by, and pick and choose who I was going to interact with. It was spontaneous -- I loved it. Like going to the neighbourhood grocery story and catching up with a bunch of people, sequentially.

@npub1c5c…644a great photos Andrew - my backpacking days are behind me, but there are still plenty of hikes left. I live, like you, surrounded by ocean, mountains, rivers, lakes and streams. Happy to be in nature.
