Below is the Sunday Links post, but before we get to that, here are two blog posts where I left comments recently. <\/p>\n
One was Catherine Novak<\/a>‘s post about the Shoal Point Moka House tweetup<\/a> two days ago. I mentioned that Starbucks, for example, has policies<\/a> around filming\/ photographing on their premises that make what happened at Friday’s tweetup look benign. We twitterers (admittedly, I didn’t attend this one) can’t assume that we can have tweet-ups any old time any which place, but it sounds like the TV crew didn’t do its homework, either – and given the (in)famous Starbucks policies, it’s by no means a safe assumption that “third places” (coffee shops, for example) should be treated like public places.<\/p>\n The other comment was on Maria Benet’s post at week’s end<\/a> on her small change<\/a> blog. She pointed to a terrific article by Daphne Merkin<\/a> about depression, A Journey Through Darkness<\/a> (in the New York Times<\/em> Magazine). Lots to say about that topic; I’ve been on a bender of sadness and self-revulsion lately, although I was starting to feel better. Then again, something happened today to make me …well, not exactly clinically depressed again, but certainly dead up against a wall on which I am so fucking tired of banging my head. <\/p>\n Anyway, two very different topics (tweetups, depression), but both blog entries well worth reading and thinking about in terms of the issues they raise. And now, on to the Sunday Diigo Links Post…<\/p>\n
