Brookline i-neighborhood

Thanks to a recommendation by danah boyd, I’ve created an i-neighborhood for Brookline. The i-neighborhood site is an interesting experiment in adding a virtual layer to existing real world neighborhoods. (There’s an interesting discussion of the nature of neighborhoods over at danah’s site.)

As of now, I am the only member of the Brookline i-neighborhood, and thus am, at last, lord and sovereign.

  6. Anna’s has already fallen, my friend, and its bean burrito mortars are going full blast, if you know what I mean.

    Your cause is hopeless. Submit while I’m still feeling magnanimous.

  7. yea, you’ll erect something eventually, alright.

  8. When it gets to dogs, this social networking thing has gone to far

    Today I received an long ‘zine email from David Weinberger, who reminded me that he had set up a neighborhood on the fashionable new geographically-based academia-powered social networking site, i-Neighbors, so I went and checked out North Berkeley, th…
