Just had the opportunity to read the issue of the Time magazine which featured the person of the year being “you”. And I thought I share a little conversation in the hearland of “you” that unexpectedly occured. Among the hundreds of pictures from my South Africa travel which I uploaded yesterday on my Flickr account was this one:
At the first glance nothing special. Yet, two other members of Flickr, view profile “Adriaan90″ and “sinandcity” obviously from South Africa came across it and identified it correctly as being taken in the township “Langa” “Longa” outside of Cape Town. And they started to comment, I started to comment back and alltogether we spun a vivid conversation about the dangers but also the beauty of South Africa. To see the conversion, just click on the picture above or alternatively here. I believe that this is quite a typical example of a borderless conversation in the flat world, that runs along the lines of pure interest and curiosity triggered by the coincidence of a by and large unspectacular photograph.
Feel free to add to the conversation, too.

Nice, I’m “sinandcity” from the conversation, and also thought it was interesting :)
Thanks for posting!
