Social discourse:

There's a quite heated Seesmic debate brewing online right now.

(Strong language advisory on some of the content linked to.)

I came across a quite innocuous tweet yesterday, and followed the link:

It took me Loren Fledman's 1328media blog.

On reading the comments about the post, I saw everything that is good (and also sorry to report somewhat bad) about the internets and social interaction. Good points, bad points, piss-takes, free-advice, pedantry, rebuttal, retribution, the works.

Looking around I found this video, sorry if the chronological sequence isn't too tight, but I think you'll follow the thread/thinking.

The above video from Loren got over 100 comments on the issue.

Then I picked up on this observation:

With, at time of writing, another contribution to the debate popped up here, from a bloke called Vinny at Insignificant Thoughts.

That guy Loren is a laugh, too. I can't see video "conversations" a la Seesmic (couldn't even get the site to load) either, personally. Good for updates. Good for podcasting. Rubbish for most other things.

Hell yeah. I hate flash and I kinda agree with Mr Ferrari above, despite his dislike of atheists.

Funnily enough, I just did a review too:
