What does QuietGorilla do?

What do you do?

Day to day, when I am offline, I quietly watch, and read and think about, humans being human. I am often eating and drinking while doing this.

What do watch and think about while online?

I have spent a lot of time, probably more than is healthy, watching what other people are doing online.

I have long since been fascinated by our use of this technology, the communities that have formed, how they operate, how inclusion and exclusion in those communities is similar to, and different from, offline communities, how our relationships with online communities influence the creation and recreation of identity, and so much more than I could list here.

I also sometimes actually “hang out” in some of those communities. So, you never know when I might appear in a live stream.

Do you make content?

I have always been an early adopter of technology, including social media apps, but that is mostly to watch what happens, rather than create content.

But, I now have this website. So this is content. Right Jena?

And I tweet on occasion. Is that considered content?

I did make some YouTube videos a long time ago. But I haven’t made anything recently. I might do something about that.
