It does indeed relate

Virginia DeBolt — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:33:26 -0600

This quote from you being an example:

But, there was no Will and Grace, no L Word and certainly no Kevin and Scotty trying to find a surrogate mother and egg donor for their soon-to-be baby on “Brothers and Sisters.” You may take these characters and television shows for granted, perhaps not even choose to tune in, but at least they are represented in popular culture today.

Fascinating analysis

Kim Pearson — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:28:32 -0600

I've only seen parts of a couple of episodes of the L word, never having been a Showtime subscriber, but I have been aware of some of the cultural impact that you describe. I know that there is (or was) an L world island in Second Life as well. This is a great analysis of the way that one can leverage "legacy" and "new" media to market a brand.

The characters

were just so likeable. (Well, okay: Jenny.)

A Great Thing For the Women in the World

MiaSarai — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:46:05 -0600

I've watched The L Word religiously since it premiered on Showtime. I watched it because it was real, you saw the cast going through real issues that we all experience at some point in our life. I watched during their ups and downs, when they were in love and when they weren't and there was always one of the ladies you could connect with and you see yourself in that person.

The L Word was a great thing for the women in the world, gay or straight you enjoyed it because they dealt with issues that we all were having.

You fell in love with each character because they all had a certian je ne sais quoi that you couldn't help but fall in love with.

It wasn't hard

Regarding Google Wave

reneehendricks — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:09:55 -0600

I was one of the early testers with Google Wave and have found that it serves two great purposes - inter-office collaboration and brainstorming. I use it for the later, myself. But as a complete mainstream "everyone-has-got-to-use-this" sort of tool, not so much.

Great article, by the way!

Keeping in touch

Vered — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:09:47 -0600

I agree - this is one of the best aspects of social networking. I often complain that it's so shallow and hate hate HATE the liberal use of the term "friend" - esp. on Facebook - BUT it's a great tool for keeping in touch.

They are what people make them

For some people online friendships can be as strong or stronger than real life ones. For others the opposite is true. It's pretty much true of any relationship. And yes, I'd believe that online relationships can be easier to sever. It's not like you are going to run into most of your online friends at the grocery store or a friend's party.

By the same token though, the online world can strengthen real life friendships. I've moved around a lot. If it wasn't for social networks, email and IM I'd have lost a lot for friendships than I have during the move.

Not so sure

Vered — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:41:47 -0600

I started out thinking "online" was lesser in some way, then decided it was just as important, but I've been blogging for almost two years now, and some people have disappeared along the way - completely dropped out, erased their blog, won't respond to emails - which makes me think that for some, online connections are easier to sever.

Just as real

Denise — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:08:36 -0600

Just as important. No difference except that I probably talk to my online friends more often than in "real life" friends. Or actually, maybe the online/offline difference has disappeared? Hmm.

Amazon.ca is very limited

sassymonkey — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:30:34 -0600

It's pretty much books, movies, cds and software. No MP3s or Kindle store. A few electronics. I saw something a few months ago about some electronics on Amazon.com being available for international purchase but I (personally) think it's too complicated to try to figure out whick ones qualify for that.
