Place and Voice: Talking the Walk

The Obvious? has some comments on my interchange with Jonathan Peters about the nature of the Web as a “place.” He ties together walking and stories:

More and more I personally derive a sense of place in the internet through a narrative, a thread, making temporary, contextual sense of a sea of information. This is why, for me, blogging is so powerful. It’s what I was getting at in my earlier blog about walking and conversations.

The rest of his entry is just as lovely and insightful.

Jonathan puts voice and place together. The Obvious puts walking and stories together. There’s a coalesence here. I think we’re seeing a good example of blog-style memic development … or what used to be called thinking.
