Two types of social.
I edit this other social magazine, Treptrips.mobi.
(And though it is platformed in a Medium compile - mainly for its natural leaning towards all things hacked, more than it’s simplicity - in its markdown-system which i find is easier to transport, and write on - rather than mostly to compile or as a CMS expert, easier to upload and onboard on - i think i am mainly foremost a svbtle-kind-of-blog-unscaled person, and would like to keep it like this, without needing the skyscrapers of nervous-asylum-induced prospect of $1B-infrastructure behind it).
Just keep it simple.
Rather than building my own site/ platform which i have no need to run - these sites make it easier for me to own and scale my content (at my own time and resource). And like twitter, has a community that has its own culture imbibe.
I digress, yet again.
I think there are platforms for social (the second def), and platforms to build on social (the first def). But what is that? I think we need to clarify, and define it for people who are not really tuned in, familiar, or what is called “nuanced” in the world of collecting/perusing data.
There are two types of SOCIAL.
(Breaking it down from the *Google dictionary entries)*:
1/ Social - /noun/.
as in the system where it is upon others’ non-exclusive but within-society (and its organised rules, as in a country or organisation)‘s permissiveness that you are alive - being “on the social” / or as in american residents’ having a **social security number.
thereby birthing the term “socialists” - which consisted of a system of governance, that involved a mono-type system
2/ Social - /adjective/.
as in having no real embark on anything that is built around people - *as in the gather in itself - which has commenced the state of being social, or needing the gather - which might mean the status of social (your status, and rank in society).
relating to or designed for activities in which people meet each other for pleasure
Sometimes, people confuse the two. Now you know which is which, when people mean they are social, meaning enclosed here. /(The second definition: needing companionship and therefore best suited to living in communities.)/
Happy Weekend Social People!
This is a (college-application-essay-length) short entry, since WeAre(aiming to be more)Social. And i’m off to incubation-build Fridays, as was 2013 onwards, the after-burgers, - as well as writing on other people’s publications - i mean, socially-geared topic-intensive blogs. As well as training for the 500-word short-stop essay, which makes me more geared towards keeping things short, to-the-point, and being a stickler to attuning to other people’s time (and personal space).
