The 2000 Bloggers is not some LoremIpsum Dummy verse . It's about 50 million Bloggers who feel and think , and not just about longing for a better shopping experience. It's The Most (verifiable)Massive Link Dump In Blog-(r)Evolutionary History of who's who and what's what right now in the new wor(l)d order.
The 2000 Bloggers' Love Fest is becoming a permanent aggregated public space not of ---innuendo, euphemisms and indirect speech, but the present simple-- a YOUniverse that gathers equity and value every time someone posts a comment or responds or joins the discussion or replies to a new post at the speed of trust: the one thing that changes everything.
Part Geek, Part Chic,"Like what I like", "100+ things about me", this is not just another, "What color is my internetblogathon?"--- This seemingly weird new 2000 Bloggers meme is more in tune with our authentic selves than is the RW (real world) This new wave of thinking is less Moore's law of computer power, and more Hotel @nyware's law of reciprocity. You only get what you give.
The moniker of this blog---Hotel @nyware--- is all about that third place layered on top of the real world, that's drawing in more and more bloggers: Get ready for a mass collaboration;a critical mass that refuses to lose its individual faces. In order to engage in the large conversations, smaller ones must be started. Buntics are ice breakers;the designated hitter for the number formally known as 2000. aka, The Number---- is the threshold, the tipping point, the hundredth monkey, the going rate it takes to shake and speed things up dramatically.
The 2000 Bloggersis a third world, but not a LDC, less developed country, but a layering on top of the real world, that's drawing into it more and more bloggers who get to annex and appropriate its social currency and street cred as they seem fit.
Just say TINO---BT, BeforeTinoBuntic, there was TiNo=not to watch a TV show recorded on TiVo. Now Web 2.0 has Buntics, a number to the nth degree.
The 2000 Bloggers is a world of pure connection, no matter, no distance no time, required.
People are checking into 2000 Bloggers. Rooms still available at Hotel @nyware...
Carol , The Face That Launched A Thousand Shifts: Soul Surgeryis her fascinating public airing of private thoughts—some dark, others funny, endearing —to be sipped like homemade lemonaide says, "favorite book? That would be the one I have yet to write - I think about it constantly. :) Other than that, if I had to choose just one, Hurray for Me by S.J. Wilson (loooong out of print) would accompany me to that mythical desert island."--- also Loving What Is, by Byron Katie.
Holly ,a fresh, new honest, stenographer of life says" Nicholas Sparks "Three Weeks With My Brother" it's worthy of adding to the the list. I finished "Six Minutes To Freedom" this weekend and it's another one I highly recommend. So much good stuff...so little time *sigh*.
Sandra releasing a teaspoon's worth of details on her yet-unnamed blog, there's too many to pick just one. For my favorite book, I'll have to go with Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, MD. Sandy
AND...
Slelagh and her amusing verbatim accounts of stuff she's thinking about"Mr. Planemaker's Flying Machine by Shelagh Watkins is a cracking read."
My buddy Roy from the Commonwealth of Texas writes:"Favorite book is "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer - part of the Riverworld series... Oh, and I think you can safely say you coined the term "buntic"...
Chicago Rozzalyn says, "The last book I read was "Junior" by Macaulay Culkin, yes he wrote a book. I thought it was amusing that he quizzes the reader to see if they are allowed to read this book. It's really random, very interesting and easy to read. Reminds me of the type of book I would write except mine would have more substance."
Global Educator Cheryl, writes, "Remember The Alchemist, a fable about following your dreams, by Paulo Coelho?"
What;'s the meaining of wife? Get one:KarenGal, a real Orange County Housewife says, "I just re-read John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany" for the fourth time. Get something new each and every time I read that. I guess it's my favorite and my best."
Some Good Vibrations from Here Today Gone To Maui -Des Walsh, says "Reading Miguel Covarrubias, Island of Bali. He went there in 1937 and in a couple of stays over a period of about 20 months created a record of life and customs in Bali unequalled before or since. On my last couple of visits there in the 80s and 90s I understood so much more of Balinese life for having read Covarrubias. I'm pretty sure it's out of print but Amazon indicate they can get copies. No one should go to Bali without having read it." That's really putting The Long Tail to work Beach Blogger!
Larry Hnetka,The occassional shredder of everything kitsch (Take on M&M's this week)with photograpic evidence, says, Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo. This was her first novel and was a finalist for the Giller Prize, The Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award. The novel's cover is an original work of art by Shani as she's also a visual artist as well as an author. It's not a light read but well worth the effort if you like lyrical prose.
The Pink Princess SAHM Karana says,"The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth. There are lots of different versions of this story, but this one is my favorite!"
V is for Vanessa Byers would like nothing more than to see Hillary and Mr O in a Steelcage--Let the games begin--- "Hi, Ed. I'm reading "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama.

Bad Aunt, a Kiwi livng in the land of the rising fun, says "I don't think I have an overall favourite book, but recently someone asked me to recommend an autobiography, and the first (and only) book that came to mind was Doris Lessing's "Under My Skin," (not the CD by Avril Lavigne) which is brilliant."
The Captain of Real Estate,Richard L Cook, is busy getting in touch with his inner 800 lb gorilla says, "My personal library to date contains 2161 books, a buntic and change. so I am a little behind on my reading. I'll pick one for him, the hundreth monkey-Curious George Flies a Kite, and by the way, no big deal, he's just saving the planet.
Deviant ARTist, the IN to our SANE L'il E says,"Oh man, you are going to make me choose just one? Talk about Sophie's Choice...no that's not my book (or my movie)! At absolute gunpoint I'm going to go with The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge. Cool idea, nice 2000-inspired post too!"
Pi in the sky-Silicon Gal Liz says, "My favorite book is "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen" Is the book better than the movie Liz?
If it moves,link it---Our good friend Mole at Dump Trumpet, says "My favourite book of all time is probably one of the most recently read ones. Hiding The Elephant by Jim Steinmeyer deals with the beginning of magic as an entertainment but also manages to entertain the reader."
The RED Pill or the BLUE pill?
