No, Liviu, you cannot be everywhere at once. You can get to everywhere once and then start the round again. Even so how do you know where the action is? Today’s hot spot does not stay hot. Where is the next one?

@David Leonhardt – yes, you can be everywhere at once. is just that it will take you a long time to do that.

In reply to Hasan AKhtar.

If you read the link in that section, you will find that there are solutions to the fact that all currently available IP addresses will be allocated. Presumably a solution will be agreed.

I think assessing Babble Rank would be useful on an individual level to assess the time one spends, but I don’t see how the social media owners can use this ratio to assess themselves. Don’t the users determine the value of the babble and vote with their eyeballs and participation?

Perhaps I don’t understand the measure, but it seems user driven and difficult for owners to assess.

When you said that we are running out of IP addresses does this mean that Internet will really cease to exist in the near future?

Well, you can’t be everywhere at once, and you can only really connect where you spend enough time. And people build relationships not just on the signal, but also on the noise. When people tweet what they are eating or what bar-n-grill they are at, that might be noise to 23,000 followers. But to the 400 followers with whom they are building a real relationship (the followers that count), that is part of what we social beings include in relationship building.
