vectors

In the public forum "park" discussion presented by Sunstein, people may take many streets to enter the park based on there points of origin and destinations. These represent vectors that bring them in contact with some public expression that is happening. Depending on how accessible/relevant the expression is, they internalize some amount of the performance.

On the internet, these "street" vectors are called by search elements input by users who then follow where they lead. The "parks" on the internet are web pages. For my example, the youtube page is a public forum (park) situated at the intersection of multiple vectors. (this means that there are a lot of parks which would seem to support the notion of technology leading to fragmentation; however, the fact that these public forums operate asynchronously means that the same individual may simultaneously operate in multiple forums.)

Despite the fact that they are intended directions, some search results may lead to unintended (or at least not fully intended) content. For example, someone searching for AMVs may come across an old song they've never heard before or vice versa.

Sunstein was talking about the daily me which accessing pre-set aggregators of links. two points: one, this is not the only way people use the interent. It forgets that users also may use the net to get information (use search engines) which may not be as easily narrowed across a single set of websites (points of view); and two, how rarefied is the content that most of us view?
