I’m really settling in here again. It just feels better than ©SoMe. I like the sense that this is mine. My little corner of the digital world. I can delete comments easily, block ip’s, design it the way I want it, and generally have control here. Truthfully I also like not having to see other people’s stuff. Just so much crap. Liking and Pinning things is not interesting to me. Original stuff is. It seems that the people now think that liking or linking to something means that they created it in their minds. Liking has become creating to most of you. I get it, I do. We all dream of being artists and creating beautiful things for the world, but there is a world of difference between those who actually create something beautiful from nothing, and those who like it.
Maybe it’s me. I don’t know, but I get the sense I’m not alone in this thinking. It’s all become noise. There is no signal, and if there is one it’s become impossible to find anyway. Also, this transparency bullshit is ridiculous. No company will ever be transparent, and neither will you or me. If we were we would be seeing a lot more posts about drug addiction, abuse, alcoholism, violence against women. That’s reality for a lot of you and most of Silicon Valley. I’ve seen it. That’s reality for this world, but that’s not a good post now is it?
Anyway, I’ll be hanging here more, and just spitting out links to google plus and twitter. I like it here. It’s safe, clean, well designed, and my digital home.
couldn’t agree more man, it is all curated noise… by inexperienced curators.
Exactly. They aren’t curating. They are hoarding.
“Digital hoarding” – nailed it.
Yup. Slobs with no taste just collecting links for no reason at all.
I’ve been thinking a lot about spending more time adding stuff on my website and interacting with folks on my email list more often. Your lead is a good example, and I’m glad you will post the links on G+. Cheers pal.
Yeah the Social Media is all about links. I actually talk to real friends. Like we do.
I must be doing the social media thing wrong, I rarely ever post a link, usually only post my own thoughts or comment on other peoples posts.
Transparency comment spot freakin on. Drives me nuts and just as guilty of it as anyone.
