Get well Doc

(This Doc-esque photo was taken by my considerably better half on a flight from Nadi to Savusavu during our trip to Fiji a while back.)  

I've never met Doc Searls.  But, of course, it's easy to feel like I have.  Blogging is like that... read someone for a while and, inevitably, you assemble a fairly detailed mental view of who they are.  

Doc has been in hospital now for a number of days, and has been blogging quite openly about all that is happening to him... his condition, the drugs they're putting him on... everything.  There is something remarkably human about it all - something quite intimate and personal. 

I think that it may be a touch too easy for us to get lost in all the babble about the latest new thing or whether Twitter is up or down.  At its core, social media it's really a much more human technology than that.  In many ways, it just amplifies the way we get on with each other as humans anyway.

Perhaps these types of entries, as they continue and evolve, will further bring manking together. Perhaps Social Media will enable a revolution of how mankind grows together? Gives hope to OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) concept.
