Place in Space...

I have been reading blogs this evening and thinking about how these offer a whole new sense of place... out in cyber space.

What is striking to me is how technology allows us to connect without a place. It is real and yet it is virtual. So, how do we create ourselves in these spaces? How do we "author" ourselves in order to give those with whom we speak a sense of a real person here.

I am rather mesmerized by Facebook for this reason. In brief blips and blurps, writers create a voice, a self for their facebook friends -- all dependent on language. Who will I be today? Tomorrow? Hmmmm....
