What is the Deadpost Intitiative?

The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.

Last week

Due to a lot of events that I am organizing in my physical life I was a bit late this week again, but deadpost is still alive and kicking. Some common themes showed up in our deadposts this week, technology and how it leads to alienation being the most notable.

Last Week's Winners

@whitelightxpress - $4 SBD prize

While I try to focus on the positive aspects of the internet, how it's brought us a kind of access to other cultures that we've never had before, there are certainly it's negative aspects and learning to avoid those aspects will be important for us as we move forward. @whitelightxpress does a great job highlighting the things we need to be careful of in order to stay balanced in this high-tech world.

@virtualself - $4 SBD prize

@virtualself writes of a kind of "culture shock" that comes from not having a cell phone at your side. I know what this is like so it was a fun post for me to read.

This is a gruesome one! Not something I like reading about but a great post nonetheless! An in-depth look at an interesting serial killer, very well written!

@artofwisdom - $3 SBD prize

A well presented photo blog of one of those cities everyone wants to go to, still haven't been there myself.

One-of-a-kind city. We're talking classics.

@fjmb86 - $2 SBD prize

This is an important question! Are you just enjoying yourself or are you addicted? Spending time in different cultures can really make this a confusing question to answer, this is a very interesting topic of conversation and a great post!

Test: Am I an alcoholic or a social drinker?
