Hailed as the first work to find Social Media's significant connections to mankind’s foundational philosophy.
In "The Taoism of facebook" Joe finds a new significance to our Social Media connections.
Facebook is a collective thought form, generated by its users. Our collective thoughts, (“Posts”, “Likes”, “Comments” and “Shares” ), create a reality that is outside of us and larger than us.

The Italian American community of Federal Hill was Joe's home during his early years. It was there that Joe began his appreciation for extended family, religious values, and good food.
