Description:

With the spread of always-on connectivity and simple-to-use publishing tools, more people than ever are online and txting, tweeting, sharing and socializing tiny bits of themselves. What is the significance of this shift? Is it merely a fad or is micropublishing the next evolution in Internet behavior?

Thesis to be discussed:

• To understand the social web, look at the objects that bring people together
• Micropublishing will grow bigger than any other form of publishing in history
• Everyone should own their own (micro) media
