		<description>So I&#039;m just now reading this Nico, and you nailed it.  D and I had similar conversations (ok, he basically recapped what you two discussed), and it&#039;s so true.

Also - what you said about meeting bloggers never disappointing (and how we drink while doing everything, even &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/lilyspeak/status/2362006417&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;breakfast&lt;/a&gt;) is also so very true.  Can&#039;t wait til we meet again!</description>

		<description>An interesting idea! But, surely, not a new one -- currency has always been based on trust. That&#039;s what currency IS -- a token of some kind that, upon display at a bank of some kind, will give you an equal value in gold.

Someone gives you a cow for three coins because there&#039;s a trust between the two parties and the treasury. (Originally the coins had inherent value themselves, but obviously that changed over time as metropolitan areas formed).

Anyway, the problem with social media is that there&#039;s no inherent value. It&#039;s the same reason the Internet first boomed-and-busted: it&#039;s all simply... vapor.

It is great for making friends though (and thus contacts!) But those seeking for some kind of actual VALUE in social media are investing in a worthless, gaseous product.</description>

		<description>Nico, it was so completely awesome to have you in Chicago this weekend.  And for you to go from some little 50x50 to an actual person.  :)

I think I&#039;ve deleted about 20 different things in here.  But basically, I already miss our 20sb family.. and it really hasn&#039;t phased me too much that these people that were once text and pixels became a group of truly awesome individuals that I didn&#039;t want to leave.</description>

		<description>We totally are in the future, and because I&#039;ve been following #iranelection like crazy, and then attended one of the protests the other night, it occurred to me that this is happening on a GLOBAL scale. We&#039;re networking and becoming friends with people from all over the world who, without the internet, we literally would NEVER have the chance to meet.

And not only are we meeting, we&#039;re becoming friends. It&#039;s only a matter of time, literally, when foreign diplomats might be a thing of the past, since we represent ourselves and don&#039;t need others to represent who we are or where we come from. Pretty fucking cool.</description>
