Jerry Kranitz YES!! Hal is hell bent on establishing an alternative to Facebook, at least for the experimental music niche people. I'm with him. Though my net casts wide musically. I've got friends all over the Space/Psych/Electronic/Experimental spectrum. So while I'm heavily into what Hal is doing, I don't see myself dispensing with Facebook any time soon.
Jerry Kranitz Again, Facebook deserves the criticism it gets, but the fact is it's a tremendous networking resource.
Jerry Kranitz So the future, I supposed, is in the establishment of niche social media resources. We'll see. It's all so damn fluid I just don't know.
Jerry Kranitz I'd just say in summary that it's working just fine for me.
Magic Moments At Twilight Time I love what he's trying to do, really hope it does succeed, Facebook can be quite stifling at times, what with all those fucking algorithms seeking to restrain creativity et al. It's controversial too, you have the die-hards like Litter who won't come anywhere near it, you can't trust them with personal data - however, if not for Facebook, I just don't know how we would reach enough people to make our projects worthwhile.
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Worth mentioning Lord Litter interviewed me for Electronic Cottage just recently, which you'll find on the link, quite the most in depth interview I've ever given. I do intend to show my support practically and join up myself, just finding that bit of extra time at the mo. Like 5 year old daughter and school summer holidays!!!

Jerry Kranitz Just noticed this. I'll check that out!!!
Jerry Kranitz Yup, like I said, we shall see. I'll just keep rolling with it...
Magic Moments At Twilight Time Me too, a necessary evil, I fear. I think part of Litter's argument, save the obvious more sinister ones, is that ease of communication tends to have the effect of cheapening it. Honestly, if I had a pound for every one line PM I've had with nothing more than "we are" and "listen to this link" on!
Jerry Kranitz Exactly.
Jerry Kranitz I really want to thank you for your interest in including me. This was awesome! My wife is going out of her way to make sure I smell the burgers she's grilling :-)

Magic Moments At Twilight Time Was gonna say, I guess we're nearing the end of our two hours now. Shit, that's gone REALLY quickly! Jerry, thank you so much for this...

Jerry Kranitz THANK YOU!!! (Off to dinner!!)

Magic Moments At Twilight Time Because it lead to this...

Magic Moments At Twilight Time And this...

Magic Moments At Twilight Time Been an absolute pleasure talking to you, enjoy your burgers, and may I take this opportunity of wishing you every success with the book. Ladies and gentlemen, JERRY KRANITZ! Goodnight...

Magic Moments At Twilight Time Footnote:

Jerry's original review of "Creavolution" can be read as part of the network article I wrote on AI in the Rise 2016 edition of The Magic Net;

And finally, an additional post I found the following morning...

John Garrity Jerry Kranitz what a great guy. Met him at StrangeDaze and he turned me on to Aural Innovations. He then sold me a lot of stuff at both StrangeDaze and Progday. Still remember silver man.
