The gaping void of the CyberSaloon
I had more than 45 things to get done, but I was looking for 1 Good Reason to forget all about them. An adventure was in order.
A couple of galaxies down and one nebula over I entered a place called Serenity Quest. I saw Plain Jane Mom making a Chris Brogan list with Photo Matt about 50 ways to Pick the Brain of or the guy who writes the blog that was on their screen at the moment.
Nearby TAXGIRL was ordering a Technical Bliss and Invincibelle had just ordered a jaffee juice.
Meanwhile, some Remarkable Parents were wandering aimlessly and asking, “Has anyone found a way to have a Life Beyond Code ?”
No one seemed to notice the group in a candlelit corner. Dressed in black, in cognito, Copyblogger held a rendezvous with Chartreuse (BETA), and Another Blogger. Rumor has it they were plotting to kidnap Guy Kawasaki and sell Alltop on the blog black market.
The meeting of folks from The Artsy Asylum broke into conflict with Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing over the principles of Confident Writing.
That seemed HUGE until Queen of Spain walked in on the arm of the Tracksuit CEO.
TwitterStars couldn’t shut up about that Internet Moment. As a result, two thousand people decided to eMail Our Military with the story, Lorelle fell off WordPress, and we heard obscure Ramblings from a Glass Half Full for days after.
PR 2.0 reported that, “It’s a matter of getting the rhythm of Life in Perpetual Beta.”
My own perspective is Genuine Curiosity proves out that Geeks are Sexy. Still, be aware. If you traverse Global Neighbourhoods and the gapingvoid of a CyberSaloon, it’s all too possible you might find yourself among the confused of calcutta.
Which isn’t altogether such a bad place to be.
End of story.
