I really do think it pictures realistically our generation and it\u2019s relationship with communicating and using social networks these days. It specifically is true as far as Airboy is concerned. The other day, my flatmate\u2019s friend (Daniel) was amazed at how many people read the blog daily\u2026.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Whenever Peter Hirshberg is at a party, someone eventually pulls out a camera and takes a snapshot with him in it. Hirshberg \u2013 chair at the executive committee for the blog search company Technorati \u2013 performs a quick mental calculation: Does the photographer look like one of these people who will immediatly dash home and post all their candids on Flickr ? \u201cIf I think it\u2019s going to end up on the web, I straighten up more, put on the right smile\u201d Hirshberg says. \u201cBecause if it goes online, people I know will most probably see it.\u201d.<br \/>\nHirshberg has a blog; which means a couple hundred people, some strangers, some friends, regularly follow his comings and goings, his Facebook updates, his online photo trail. Any time he does something embarassing or stupid, those people will know. So in essence, Hirshberg has to behave like a very minor version of Brad Pitt. He\u2019s got to watch out for the papparazzi, be careful with his public image. But he\u2019s not a celebrity. He\u2019s a microcelebrity.<br \/>\nMicrocelebrity is the phenomenom of being extremely well known not to millions but to a small group or niche. As DIY media reach ever deeper into our lives, it\u2019s happening to more and more of us. Got a Facebook account ? A whack load of pictures on Flickr ? Odds are there are complete strangers who know about you, and maybe even talk about you.<br \/>\nIf you really want to see the future, check out teenagers and twentysomethings. WHen they go to a party, they make sure they\u2019re dressed for their close up \u2013 because there will be photos, and those photos will end up online. In managing their web presence, they understand the impact of logos, images and fonts. And they\u2019re increasingly careful to  use pseudonyms or private accounts when they want to wall off the more intimate details of their lives.<br \/>\nI now use a few coy tricks to communicate with those who follow me online. Whent the backlog of unanswered messages in my inbox grows too huge, I\u2019ll post a message to Facebook or Twitter pleading \u201cSnowed under by work\u201d in the hope that my audience will cut me some slack. In essence I\u2019m sending out press releases. Adapting to microcelebrety means learning to manage our own identity and \u201cmessage\u201d almost like a self contained public relations department. \u201cPeople are using the same techniques used on Madison Avenue to manage their personal lives\u201d, says Theresa Senft, a media studies professor and one of the first to identify the rise of microfame. \u201cCorporation are getting humanised, humans are getting corporatised.\u201d<br \/>\nYou could regard this as a sad development \u2013 the whole BRAND CALLED YOU meme brought to its grim apotheosis. But haven\u2019t our lives always been a little public and stage-managed ? Small town living is a hotbed of bloglike gossip. Every time we get dressed \u2013 in power suits, nerdy casual wear or goth piercing \u2013 we\u2019re broadcasting a message about ourselves. Microcelebrity simply makes the social engineering we\u2019ve always done a little more overt \u2013 and maybe a little more honest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/240plan.ovh.net\/~redcandy\/airboy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/iloverien2.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-441 aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  title=\"im parisien i love rien sodwee airboy\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"im parisien i love rien sodwee airboy\"  width=\"400\"  height=\"400\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/240plan.ovh.net\/~redcandy\/airboy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/iloverien2.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think there\u2019s not pretention in being a blogger, only Perez Hilton will disagree, some might think otherwise but sharing your ideas is the main goal here, sharing information is another.

Dad came to pick me up against a bottle of whiskey, that was the deal. Oh yeah nearly forgot to mention Dubai Intl. is flippin\u2019 HUGE ! ONE good thing though, they have FREE WIFI, unlike european airports, which is a life saver while you wait for boarding.<\/p>\n<p>Flight over was pretty much uneventful, Samir, a guy that was at the Emirates Open Day with me was on duty so I got someone to talk to at least. But I gotta say, the company of my MacBook is sufficient on a 6 hour flight! Khalas Bla-bla. When I get picked up, Dad will zoom straight into town for a drink with MotherOfSodwee, and exam-free BrotherOfSodwee. I have no idea what I\u2019m up to next but surely will check out on the french gang and the english tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/240plan.ovh.net\/~redcandy\/airboy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/baguette.gif\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignleft pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin: 5px; float: left;\"  title=\"kid with baguette by sodwee airboy\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"kid with baguette by sodwee airboy\"  width=\"200\"  height=\"246\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/240plan.ovh.net\/~redcandy\/airboy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/baguette.gif\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Arrrhhh and the smell of that freshly baked baguette floating from every street corner is just divine. I completely forgot the taste of a REAL FRESH baguette until I munched my way into one early in the afternoon. Dubai lacks desperately of a good french bakery. I was feeling like that kid in the picture. Reminds me of the burden that Mum or Dad used to delegate to their progenitures without choice and with insistance : \u201c<em>It\u2019s your turn today, Ben, to get the baguettes, it\u2019s either that or you end up doing the washing up for the rest rest of the week, and don\u2019t forget, I want them baguettes nice and NOT OVERCOOKED !
