About to expound in a column about McLuhan, and what he'd have to say about Facebook today, and I can't stop thinking about that scene in Annie Hall when Woody Allen pulls out McLuhan himself to correct some windbag, and I keep thinking someone will do that to me.

Incidentally, McLuhan was a genius, and saw much of what we're experiencing now coming decades ago. I know...we all claim to understand him and cite clichés like 'the medium is the message' (usually without understanding), but he's worth reading. FB makes much more sense after.

Are you familiar with Levinson's "Digital McLuhan" and Logan's attempt to "update" McLuhan in "Understanding New Media"?
