@cogdog @Patlockley But to recap, over on Twitter you said "i don't think persay it is ideas, more i wonder how much we rely on not "paying it forward", and I didn't quite get this bit.

I think I do sort of get what you mean by "and if i'm not there, then 'views are my own' takes on a new level".

@Patlockley So it's interesting to be discussing this simultaneously here and on Twitter.

Here I am simply appreciative of the extra characters to think. There, we also have Mike in the conversation.

But you are you, and I am me, either way.

@Patlockley Yes, I see this now -- you're right. It's not some easy essential self wandering across platforms. It's self-for-purpose, in each place.

So this gets me thinking about how these different self-fashioning practices of identity work.

Do you have a sense of how you change?

@Patlockley @lauraritchie I think perhaps how you met someone and what they are to you are different things. One is evolving, the other is the start point.

If we don't talk about edtech, are we edtech friends?
