HiptopPlanet

Once or twice in a week, I go and visit hiptop nation.

I love it. I still love it.

It’s so full of little slices of realness.

Low, low, cross-cultural barrier to entry (cf. previous post about this) No need to be a great writer, thinker, proselytizer to blog there… Just see something that catches your eye and post it…

It’s got so much – no other word than the very cheesy, disneyfied – ‘heart’.

I love it like almost no other place on the web – it’s being let in on
millions of little personal places all at once. I can’t wait until it’s
HiptopPlanet. I want to see tacos in Texas next to street violinists in
Vienna next to schoollife in Kabul next to crazy bleachhair Ginza action in
Tokyo.

It’s going to be like those cheesy ads that tech companies used to run full
of images of grinning gap-toothed farmers in paddy field next to wall-st
brokers or something, except it’s been handknitted, ground-up by a bloke
called mike who just happened to love his hiptop.

Some lovely things this morning:

I’m not really thinking too critically about this at the moment, just preferring to enjoy the web getting “more real”, more open and react until I can participate: but there’s been lots of people are, with much comment about ‘this’ lately, mostly hubbed-on Justin Hall’s ‘Moblog’ writings:
