Dan GillmorThere is no one I admire more than Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic ), an extraordinary author, activist, and person. In his 6th anniversary post at his Pluralistic blog, he gives you a sense of the hard work that goes into his work.
Johanna, CanCon varietyHow has it been only 6 years???!!?
I feel like Cory spontaneously appeared when hypertext did, somehow.
Cory Doctorow@johannab @dangillmor Well, I did write a group-blog for 19 years before that!
Oh, I know. I, umm, not be stalker-girlie or anything, but after last year's FediForums I was putting together a blather I did at Fedicon, and I was trying to figure out how long ago I first encountered your online presence ... and I can't. Then when you included a clip of a very long ago CBC interview in the "Who Broke the Internet?" series I figured out we're weeks apart in age and probably the same in "internet age".
@johannab @dangillmor aww thanks
@pluralistic @dangillmor my brain cells from back then are pretty dusty but it feels like I may have heard that CBC chat on "why businesses should get on the internet". I was a couple years into running listservs, babysitting a small usenet node at UoGuelph and setting up my-first-web-pages for non-profits or clubs.
