When I first got to the Internet, I unconsciously tried to give everything a place, north, south, east, west. Being visual, I still find myself, thinking about peopleââ¬â¢s blogs and websites on a map of the world in my head. But thatââ¬â¢s only half of the story.
Like any 3-D company ââ¬â building and people ââ¬â that I might drive to, the Internet is a place, but itââ¬â¢s also the people that live, work, and play every day here.
However, we have to remember that the two Internets ââ¬â the place and the people ââ¬â donââ¬â¢t sit on a world map or follow 3-D rules as the two companies in the physical world we are used to. Doc Searls says it well in his notes on the wrap up summary by Karim Lekhani at the Internet & Society 2007 Conference.

Weââ¬â¢re living in two Internets. It looks much like the companies we find in the world of brick and mortar. One is about places, information, and data. Itââ¬â¢s the buildings in which people work. The other is about people, relationships, and conversation. Itââ¬â¢s the people who work in those buildings. One is a structure. The other is social.

Authenticity and transparency by definition require self-awareness and a loss of false modesty. Those two conditions underpin communication undermine our comfortable notions about who we are. The old ways we saw ourselves and the old words we used to describe us no longer work quite so well. Theyââ¬â¢re too misleading, self-deprecating, or just not really who we are.
Once we get the hang of it, authenticity and transparency free us to be honest without self-consciousness. The old fear of boastfulness or self-promotion is gone, because we are self-expressed. Learning to communicate in a blogging culture of such values could make any blogger a better person. Itââ¬â¢s done that for me.
