"But if today’s Internet has a Baron Haussmann, it is Facebook. Everything that makes cyberflânerie possible — solitude and individuality, anonymity and opacity, mystery and ambivalence, curiosity and risk-taking — is under assault by that company."

The Death of the Cyberflâneur. Great article on frictionless sharing. My thoughts: 1) our/my fascination with the Flâneur never ceases to amaze me 2) Second Life

Thanks towerofsleep & standardgrey for sharing this
