I wish I knew what to do with the internet.
It's so fast. It's so memetic.
Usually you need to believe it and disbelieve all of it at the same time.
You want to get information out of it instantaneously, in the moment when the bits are hot off the servers.
Those nascent bits are the most interesting bits in the world. Fresh bits are inherently the most juicy part of the internet because you get to do something with them.
New bits on the internet have clout because you get to be their filter. Everything else on the internet has already been decided upon by other people, but for one little moment, it's your turn to make a decision about what other people are going to see. You get to decide what is new, and they have to look at it just to keep up.
And for that micro cycle of the internet,having created "internet" for everyone else, you will be God.
"Likes", "Shares", "Upvotes", "reTweets" and "Shares" will flow up the karmic directed acyclic graph to you, the originator and decidor of the "good" internet.
So don't share things on the internet because of their freshness, only share them because of their quality.
Though that will mean that nobody will care about what you share.
So I guess I just won't care what other people think. That is a probably a good idea. And that is what a blog is for. If they want my opinion, they have to come to me for it.
I think I like that better, it's quieter and keeps that rabble down.
