I talk with people a lot about website creation, online communities and blogging and I’m constantly surprised at the differing attitudes to what works, what’s trendy and often what’s affordable. On one side of the room, the geeks say Web 2.0 is about the technology; on the other the marketing people and professors reckon it’s about the people. But isn't it about the purpose? Why are we doing this, and who is it for? Restaurants are like this. You can build the most elegant dining room, back it with the best kitchen and staff, invite all the popular people – but they won't come back unless you serve good food, project your style and find an audience to match it. If you're new to social media, here are a couple of excellent videos from a really cool site called www.commoncraft.com . Enjoy. Social Media Social Networking
DISCLOSURE
I’ve joked for much of my adult life that if I’m going to hell, it’ll probably be for my spelling, grammar, and proofreading.
I’m not diagnosed, but I’m fairly sure I have some level of dyslexia, so yes, I use AI to help with my writing. While I write about things based on deep and varied life experience and ongoing study, the thoughts are my own, I do use AI to check my thinking and to help tidy up what I’ve written ... if you like a virtual editor. Trust me it's as much for you as it is for me :-)
I don’t like AI slop either, so while this writing is mostly for myself, I hope you find some value in it too.
