The revolution will not be televised
Waking up, the news of Amy Winehouse chimed from Twitter and tormented the the G+ newbies. Last night on the iPhone, I couldn't figure out how to keep Spotify playing when I switched apps. But unlike G+ which is blocked on the iPad, I could run the iPhone version of Spotify and lo and behold it worked. I surfed the sad news and the glib commentary as she sang in the background. I'd never listened much before, but now that she was gone the tracks shimmered in the luck we have left of her talent.It's times like these I feel lucky to be born in this age of discovery. In the rush to codify the battles of the day, we miss the triumph of ingenuity of the lurker, the loser, the strip mining of the user if those notions are to be believed. Even in the most secure of streams, there is no post, comment, like, @mention, or citation that doesn't represent a gift rather than a proffer to the customer. We learn by watching the river flow, missing the boat, daydreaming, shutting down for the night, slapping cold water on the needy. The revolution will not be televised. No, no, no.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/dMoYj1U3FE0/
