Profound Thought # 3

On the good side, anybody anywhere can babble to the world whatever they want and get responses from similar people. So, if you have at least a little bit to say, you can make it instantly available to anybody who has any interest in that. And if you have any talent, a unique perspective or a little bit of wisdom, it can be easily amplified by the social software.

On the bad side, anybody anywhere can babble to the world whatever they want and get responses from similar people. So, if you don't have any talent or unique perspective or a little bit of wisdom, you still can feel self-important and contribute to the overall information pollution.

Profound Thought # 2

• Like word-processor before made my mediocre writing less illiterate;
• Like PhotoShop before made my pictures good enough to send to the local newspaper;
• Like video-editing software before made my home videos tolerable to watch even by my own family members;

the social software raises the bar of what an average (mediocre) person like me can do on the Web's publishing side.

As always, it has both good and bad sides (see upcoming Profound Thought # 3).

Profound Thought # 1

Here is my first deep observation.

• Like word-processor before did not make me neither a writer nor a poet;
• Like PhotoShop before did not make me neither an artist, nor a photographer;
• Like movie-making software before did not make me neither a director, nor an actor,

the so called "social software" (including bloggers) will not make me much more "social" than I am today, but...(see Profound Thought # 2).

Welcome to My Profound Thoughts

Now I can start babbling to the world~
