Blogworking ? What the heck is that? DLA? Is that a new cadre of the SLA?
Why am I interested in CyWorld, digital lifestyle aggregators, and blogworking? Because once one of these virtual places hits big with the public, it will cause a rapid and shocking (to those who weren't paying attention) transformation of media space. It is going to be the "place" where lots of folks in the desireable demographics (young, wealthy, "early adapters) begin to spend the important elements of our developing post-industrial economy: time, attention, and money. I'll be expounding on this, but here are some of the basic facts, for now:
I have been posting about CyWorld which is a South Korean social networking software site that has 25 million users (and makes lots of money each quarter) and will soon be available in an English version. CyWorld is eliminating e-mail usage in Korea, for example.
This soon to be ready "GoingOn" is called "the next-gen social network" by a blogging buddy, J. D. Lasica.
The point of this enterprise is create an effective "Digital Lifestyle Aggregator" Note that as of today, 8/16/05, there are 3480 Google hits on "digital lifestyle aggregator." Here is Marc Cantor's description, as he seems to be one of the most vocal proponents of DLA.
