Writing on TechCrunch, Duncan points out how small and connected and vicarious the world has become--even those with no ontention of getting an iPhone soon got to experience the energy, vicarious thrills and humor of the release and the huge interest it generated.

D writes: "The difference on iPhone Day was that instead of turning to blogs or waiting for the mainstream media to report the facts hours later, we were all able to watch it all in first person. The promise of user generated live media was delivered. The seed of a revolution was planted."

Damn skippy!
