overshare.links.netovershare: the links.net story

a movie about a web site about a guy - published 30 July 2015. Let’s Self-Measuring the Impact of Personal Online PublishingHello, my name is Justin Hall and I’ve been sharing my personal life in explicit detail online for over twenty years. Starting in 1994, my personal web site Justin’s Links from the Underground has documented family secrets, romantic relationships, and my experiments with sex and drugs. is a documentary about fumbling to foster intimacy between strangers online. Through interviews, analysis and graphic animations, I share my motivations, my joys and my sorrows from pioneering personal sharing for the 21st century. In 2004 the New York Times referred to me as "perhaps the founding father of personal weblogging." I hope this documentary reveals that I was a privileged white male with access to technology who worked to invite as many people as possible to join him in co-creating an internet where we have a chance to honestly share of our humanity. watch or download overshare the entire 40 minute film is available for free viewing and downloading online: 40 minutes film free over BitTorrent - thanks Archive.org 40 minutes film free on the Internet Archive 40 minutes film free on YouTube 40 minutes film free on Facebook 40 minutes film free on Vimeo 40 minutes film for sale on overshare.vhx.tv - your chance to spend money on an otherwise free film overshare is also available in eight chapters between 2 and 10 minutes long: 8 chapters of overshare on YouTube : http://bit.ly/overshareYT 8 chapters of overshare on Facebook the whole film on Facebook8 chapters of overshare on dailymotion is for sale using a service called VHX.

There’s a " overshare: TMI edition" on VHX that has even more documentation of personal documentation: behind-the-scenes footage, outtakes and so forth. On VHX you can even pay above than the minimum cost of the film if you’d like to encourage this kind of conduct. HTML Titles and Credits I first started publishing here on "Justin’s Links from the Underground" in January 1994, commencing a wild ride. In 2004 I celebrated 10 years with a writeup . In 2014 I started producing a short video to celebrate 20 years, and this is the result published in 2015 instead. Using antique HTML , I created the titles and credits for the film that you can explore here. Creative Commons Attribution is released under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Probably the easiest place to download overshare from is the Internet Archive , though if you purchase either edition on VHX , you can download to your heart’s content. If you own the overshare: TMI edition that means you can download even less polished media like old versions and outtakes. Either way, the film is loose, out of my control now. People can download, modify, republish their own remixes. Let’s see what happens! If anything - over hundreds of years stories that aren’t copied or remixed tend to die. Here’s a trailer from January 2014: I want to explore the impact of personal online sharing in my life. And I want to see how personal web publishing has affected other folks too! I began work on this project in earnest in May 2014. I posted a production update on YouTube in June , and here’s a 6 second preview posted in September 2014: If you want to be notified when this film is published, add your email here , follow @jah on the Twitter , justinreach on instagram or subscribe to my YouTube channel /justinslinks ! Scheduled for publication Summer 2015! Update from December 2014 - if you visited this site before 1999 and you have some memory of the site in the context of the web at that time, I might want to interview you / video you / ask you to appear as a talking head in my video.
