Not to be rude and all, but This seems more like a iography than real web 2.0 news. It is a little irrelevant.

Hi Brian,You are right about the Biography aspect to be sure, but the point is to recognize what really makes Web 2.0 something special. Without people this would be a very stagnant place after all. I am sorry you do not find it interesting or even news worthy but I think that a person (not necessarily a blogger) is as vital as any gadget or transient news in the final analysis. The Web has become a very personalized thing and any blog about Web 2.0 would be incomplete without a few stories about people at various places along our path. I value your opinion though and thank you for your comment.

Is that ever a Nice article* & it is nice to see Bloggers + more importantly People who contribute so much to Web2.0 & make it way more interesting than the “old” way of doing + seeing + experiencing things*

I will definitely check Mig’s Blogs out* The only other Mig’s i had heard of were the dude from Australia who placed 2nd or 3rd in the INXS RockStar show (our Canadian Rocker JD Fortune won!! ) + of course the MiG fighter jets from Russia & the Eastern Bloc which Romania was part of* Back in the days when Information coming out of those countries was almost non-existant* Still amazes me how little we know about such a huge part of the world incl. China too*

That is where Web2.0 enables real important things like Dialogue + Discussion + Freedom of Speech - even right here in the West in Canada + good ol’ America* Attention has been brought to many Human plights + causes such as the atrocities happening in Darfur + many other Human Refugee Camps* It would be nice to see Peace spread throughout the World via Web2.0*

Cheers Mig + Phil + Everybody!! Billy )

Peace*

Thank you, Phil, for this wonderful entry, for your trust and consideration. I too believe that people matter above everything else and I cannot imagine the Web 2.0… well, I cannot imagine the Web without the people.

Thank you, Brian, for reading. It means a lot to me to see that, although you found the article irrelevant, you spent your time reading my biography.

Thank you, Billy, for being so kind. Yes, this is where “Mig” comes from. Back in my “army” days, the pilots used to call me Mig 29 “The Sniper” - after the Russian-Romanian plane with the same name. (The Romanian army upgraded the Russian Mig 29 planes, with NATO compatible systems).

Phil, great post and I agree that we must celebrate the ‘read/write’ nature of the Web more! Mig, I enjoyed reading this post and finding out more about you. You have a lot of excellent blogs/sites!

Don’t find this story irrelevant at all. Great job Phil and thanks for sharing the “human side” of the web.

After all people… it’s not all just about the apps!

Phil,
Thanks for bringing Mig to my (our) attention. I had not read her blogs before, but after looking them over today, am sure I will go back for more. Good content. Good heart. That’s what I look for in any blog that I read on a regular basis. And thank you Mig for adding your talent to the web.

Thank you for letting others know what her friends and readers know: Mig is an angel!

That’s cool. I’m not sure she’s an Angel - she sounds like far too much fun.

I think putting personality into this increasingly discconnected and impersonal world were we have twenty ways to talk to everyone without actually meeting them is very worthwhile.

BTW - please call your mother. Now.

Mick

I am so happy to read so many positive comments. I don’t know how to personally thank each and every one of you, but I’ll find a way.

Mick, it’s true I am not an Angel. Lillie is too kind. But angels are fun! They sing, and dance and give joy all around.

Lillie, as I always say, your love is beyond compare and I am lucky to have you in my life.

Thank you, Saltbox, Robert and Richard. I’m on my way to your blogs now.

The whereabouts of my meeting Mig are quite funny (two Romanian girls introduced to each other by a Pakistani blogger), but I am really greatful to have met her. She is truly wonderful! And her work amazing. I still don’t know the secret recipe she uses to do all the great things she does, but I’ll find out one day

Not sure I totally concur with Brian’s remarks. It all hinges on what you believe Web 2.0 to be. I think that what you are doing is ‘living’ Web 2.0 and the biography of Mig and the media that has enabled it are, for me Web 2.0 in action. I’ve been in touch with Mig and she is a very talented an thoughtful person, and we exchanged views on something that appeared in the news, Mig leaving a comment on my Blog. Without Web 2.0 I don’t think me, you or Mig would have been in touch and Brian wouldn’t have been able to say what he thought about that!

It is great to see comments from everyone. There are several issues going on here, but I am glad that people come here and express themselves. It is not really about being right or wrong, but about expanding. My editor is a wonderful person and a very brilliant woman too. We argue like cats and dogs all the time. I point this out because it is the discourse and the human interaction that helps us to grow.

Web 2.0 is about growth and human beings. These fantastic innovations we are all privy to are but tools for the expansion of the human condition. So far, they have primarily been in a form for basically entertaining us and somewhat of a nature to help us communicate better. The essence of all this interaction is the one innovation, the finest creative example and the most versatile invention we have experienced, the person.

No matter how we extrovert ourselves onto the framework of this platform(as O”Reilly termed it) there is no extricating ourselves from being human beings. MIg and people like her are examples of how we should or can be. Most of you don’t know it but most of these comments are from people who exemplify excellence. I will not point them out, but each of us can only be better if we acknowledge each other. That is what this series is about, acknowledging the true heroes and the real innovation of the Web.
