[Nettime-bold] R: <nettime> more than tired about nettime. |
Dear Fran Ilich & Sherman & nettimers Strange Days! The message Fran Ilich was quoting it is not from Sherman but from me to Sherman!: >> Dear Tom Sherman >> you are rightly tired of information. >> I do agree with you. >> That fits in the web-design discussion. >> let's change the mailing list in a web/multi/video/media/conferencing. yes, thatt was my message and i think that is the way we should go. And strangely enough i find in the Syndicate List i am subscribed as well a message by: expeople@altern.org >it would be great to "change the mailing list in a >web/multi/video/media/conferencing." yes, and in this way the division between those who "have" and people who 'don't have'(good boxes, good lines...you know may be better than me) would gets bigger - but this might be the right way to make things clear(better) - kind of answer of the one traditional question 'who's who' expeople http://www.freespeech.org/universal_pigs ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress -----Messaggio originale----- Da: fran ilich <ilich_030@hotmail.com> A: nettime-l@nettime.org <nettime-l@nettime.org> Data: giovedì 18 gennaio 2001 22.53 Oggetto: <nettime> more than tired about nettime. >hi geert, pit, tom, nettimers, > >> Dear Tom Sherman >> you are rightly tired of information. >> I do agree with you. >> That fits in the web-design discussion. >> let's change the mailing list in a web/multi/video/media/conferencing. > >for sure and let the hard drives at the end of the world crash >instantly... > >altough its a great idea, but this for sure would change radically the >format of the nettime-list. after this maybe we would have to move to a >forum or to a layout more like slashdot or indymedia. but this would >definitely be taking many steps towards revitalizing this hypertextual >network. > >or we could always keep nettime as a maliling list, but im sure you >wouldnt be happy to receive a post with my hard disk attached. the other >option would be hyperlinks... and then theres the idea of cyberfiesta >chats and pavu-style online meetings... > >but for sure, it would be great to "change the mailing list in a >web/multi/video/media/conferencing." > >any ideas?
