Dance physically, be connected online

It tells how the online networking stuff is getting common and important for people. People want to be connected online even we are at night club and dancing with bunch of people you can touch, hug and kiss physically.

This is the one at the night club called Route 66 on RCA, I found it last night. They even have logo of mixi and cyworld.

I do tweet often, also I see many of my friends (especially geeks such as @thanr, @underexpose etc) tweeting, facebooking or checking-in when we are having party. Sometimes talking to each other on twitter even both of us are at the same table. I talk to my stuff on skype, even we are in a same room.

I don’t even know why I do it. When I tweet something like “at a pub having beer”, usually I don’t think of any specified person to tell, or it doesn’t mean I don’t like talking to people face to face. I love talking strangers at a pub. Do I want to keep log of myself? Or do I want somebody to join me? yes, sometimes I do tweet for inviting friends to join, but not always.

There must be reason, but I can’t figure out the reason why I do it.

For myself, I love talking to people face to face, but at the same time, love communicating people by exchanging words as text. Somehow I hate talkin on the phone, even with close friends, family or lovers. I always try to avoid making phone call, it is the last option. But it doesn’t mean I hate talking to people in person, I do love it, but it must be face to face or text base communication.

There are many way of communication. Social networking stuff is not things in person, it’s more public even if you protect your tweets. You are a one of bunch of people, some people receive your voice but sometimes it could be totally ignored by everybody – as an information, it’s the same sort of data.

There might be kind of feeling ‘if you get it, then get it, if not, leave it’. There are no commitment, no expectation or responsibility.

I ignore friends requests from strangers on online networking site, but I accept a bottle of beer from a stranger at a bar… :D
