Seeking New Contributors for the Social Media Philosophy Project

Well, cats and kittens, the Project has not taken off like I hoped it would. While plenty of people are posing and discussing philosophical questions that touch on the issues of social media and open culture, they aren’t doing it here, they are doing it on their own blogs, in their twitter and friendfeed streams, and other places where social media actually takes place.

Which is as it should be.

But I still think this Project has a place and calling and should exist, so I want to reboot the Project. Soon, a new look, setup, and methodology will grace this space, and we will begin again. Old posts will still be here, of course, but it will be a new project, formulated in a new way, and we will be doing things a little bit differently. The basic mission statement will remain the same, to attempt to explore the philosophical implications of our new technologically-augmented state of existence, but how we will attempt to pursue this mission must be discussed and revamped.

So, in the spirit of this rebirth, I want to extend the call to all those who would become a part of this new and hopefully revitalized project. It’s not glamorous, it’s not going to make you web-famous, but hopefully it will be fun and interesting and–who knows?–we might actually produce some useful thought.

Please use either the contact form here on the site or contact me @thePuck on Twitter or Friendfeed for details.
