  • Thus services like twitter are not "social media" but "social immedia" because they bring us immediately in touch with others. 1 day ago
  • We are more deeply and initimately aware of what goes on in this world than ever before. Not "mediated", but "immediated". 1 day ago
  • But that seems to be changing. The two meanings are coming closer together tied by the word "awareness". 1 day ago
  • Sometimes those who do the first don't do a lot of the second. 1 day ago
  • "Social-ism" is the first meaning, "Social media" the second. 1 day ago

• About this site

  Strange Systems is the random musings of Nam-ho Park 박남호, who was trained in architecture, taught digital architectural design, worked as an information architect and user experience consultant and now managing an urban design project for Hanoi. To his credit or detriment, he has spent significant part of his life in Seoul, London, New York and Washington DC. As of Aug 2007, he lives and works in Seoul, Korea, and more recently been traveling to Hanoi, Vietnam a lot for work.

  His interests are, not in any particular order, architecture/urbanism, design, internet culture, user experience, social entrepreneurship, and changing the world.

  UXforGood.org is his other blog where he explores the intersection between user experience and social innovation.
