Post-Pangea Day Blues
Pangea Day was May 10th. And for all the pre-game hype about the global community coming together to see things through each other's eyes, I must admit, I'm a bit sad about the Post-Pangea Day festivities. In the US, the day after Thanksgiving is famously the biggest shopping day of the year and is somewhat of an unofficial holiday. Post-Christmas, many countries celebrate Boxing Day.
Pangea Day, like Thanksgiving or Christmas, was a day with a great build-up, but I sadly feel that now that it is over, continuing the conversation is difficult. The content is either very difficult (I haven't figured out how to do it) or impossible to embed into blogs, news coverage seems to be scarce, and a mechanism to keep the conversation going, unless I'm unaware of something, seems non-existent. I love the concept of a global community, as much as anyone, I just wish the community had the ability to hang out together, even in much smaller groups (such as: Likemind, Planning For Good, Pecha Kucha Night or All Day Buffet) for more than one day per year. If I'm missing something here, someone please let me know.
