Why Any of This Stuff is So DESPERATELY Important?

The other day I found myself playing the part of the man in the conversation I truly have no time for. I found the need to just say to myself; who cares that you can so easily see Facebook as nothing more than MySpace and Friendster which were nothing much more than well worn out but well working old BBSes. Who gives a darn that from one angel Pinterest is merely a beautifully visual bookmarking system and that Tumblr is just a well connected blogger that tweets. Who minds at all that each and everyone of these facilities, functions, platforms and apps can so easily be traced back to the origins of that very first web page or email or further... back? I just shook my head and said shut up to myself …and gave myself that simple reminder, this really is all so bloody wonderous!

Came across this Gem on DashBurst this last weekend...

Do you remember what it was like to search stuff online back in the 80s? Of course you don't because the Internet we know and love didn't exist yet, but what if it did? How wacky would Wikipedia look like back then?

Thanks: Daniel Zeevi @DanielZeevi

So what if 75% of the things we don't remember that Facebook has ever tried never worked… They're trying, and in so doing have only done what? Well, only teach 1 billion people how to use these tools we've adored for what seems like forever! What the heck if each and every one of these companies struggles to stretch things to add another ad-dollar-opportunity to make that first dollar; even if it's at the expense of some little thing we thought was quite cool. They're convincing the money that the billions that's been thrown onto this beautiful bonfire is worth billions more.

I've had a monstrous love affair since I linked my first hyper link on HyperCard and made my screen shout out "ping" about 4 million years ago… When I first made that link link to something outside, across the room or the  continent, I was locked in this wedlock for what will most likely be the rest of my life. So what if it's all just a sometimes justs fanciful variations on tired old theme; if this is merely an updated and more polished version of that? It's been update after all. The plain fact It's being polished at all, day in and day out by bright minded people with brains full of great ideas and an eye to making it better (and work).

There's so much good work that's been done and so much more left to do; radical changes unexpected advances as it all becomes more used and more useful. There are 5,000 ways to skin each of theses cats and I think it's become obvious …there are just so many cats left to be skinned (on Facebook alone). I have no advantage in all this other than knowing that this once wasn't there… Well and perhaps witnessing to the proof of these improvements allows me more confidence in the knowledge that it can and will always be better. 

Good work people.

    (as of October 24th 2013... this needs a bit of updating...)

    I am NOT a so-called blogger, nor do aspire to the fame and (massive) fortunes that seems to follow "the blogger's blogggers" these days... please see: about this, for more on that...

    All I ask is that IF you like the notions presented here, follow me on Twitter to be alerted to those odd times when I get around to committing to more of these... notions.

    ...so, I am NOT a blogger, I am simply a veteran* social media & digital business professional; With over 25 years experience in blah, blah... demonstrated blah success, implementing, blah, blah, blah... innovative ideas from, blah... start-up through to blah... projects for established Fortune 500 companies. 

    Comprehensive idea-generation ...blah, blah, blah problem solving skills with blah, blah, blah, blah... blah experience in a wide variety of markets.

    I do like to talk, even more, I like to think up, develop and implement, solutions. SO, lets talk :-)
