Paul's Web Space 2.1

Politics, Culture, Technology

Stories about cool events I've attended, musings about social media and other technology, and commentary about people, issues, ideas, whatever. I've had a web site since 1994, at my own domain since 1997, and switched it to blog format in 2005. Now, in 2008, I've added labels, shuffled things around a bit and fixed some style and UI quirks - hence 2.1. Watch for more widgets and microformats....

NOSO - the Anti-Social Network

NOSO is a really funny site/service that offers its members the opportunity to unplug from the network completely for a period of time - a collective antisocial experience. It seems like a way to shut off from your social network(s) for a time, to take a break. It seems like a joke, but then again it resonates with a lot of people.

From the web site:

NOSO is a real-world platform for temporary disengagement from social networking environments. The NOSO experience offers a unique opportunity to create NO Connections by scheduling NO Events with other NO Friends.
