				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am retiring this blog, closing comments and blocking search engines. It has served me well for the past five years but as my thinking and work has changed, I have recognised less and less of myself in this site. Looking at the analytics, most visitors arrive here looking for stuff I&#8217;ve posted about Facebook, Google Docs or eBooks, rather than work I am actually proud of. Much of my blogging over the last year or so has occurred on project specific sites. The last two posts I have made here have been pathetic attempts to engage people but with no success. Clearly my weariness of posting to this site is infectious.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always had a home page at <a href="http://josswinn.org">http://josswinn.org</a> and that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve collected a few things that I want to take forward. Expect posts to that site to be infrequent and related to articles and chapters I am writing. Cheers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I subscribe to a number of mailing lists and have done for almost fifteen years. Some are obligatory subscriptions because my work might be part of a large programme of projects; they act as a space for discussion but mostly notification. One or two others are especially valuable to me for their intellectual content, often stimulating discussions around recent news, blog posts and articles.</p>
<p>Two of the latter type are <a href="http://www.nettime.org/">nettime</a> and the <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/">P2P Foundation</a>. The P2P Foundation used to have a pretty active <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net/backups/p2p_research-archives/">research mailing list</a>, which was shut down in January 2011 and subscribers asked to sign up to the <a href="http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation">P2P-F list</a>, which is less active since the &#8216;curator&#8217; of the list <a href="https://lists.ourproject.org/pipermail/p2p-foundation/2011-December/005087.html">retired</a>, but still a useful source of information. Studying the archive itself would be a useful research project. Currently, <a href="http://www.nettime.org/archives.php">nettime-l</a> is the only really active list I&#8217;m on where extended <a title="Jaron lanier: The Internet destroyed the middle class" href="http://www.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1305/msg00011.html">discussion</a> around the politics of technology and society takes place.</p>
<p>Despite the introduction of web-based social networks, I still value the format and <em>potential</em> of email lists for extended and in-depth discussion. I&#8217;d be interested to hear from you about which mailing lists remain important and useful spaces for discussion, on any subject. Please leave a comment and let me know. Thanks.</p>
