First off happy 4th of July everyone!

The beauty of living in the United States is that we have so many different cultures, religions, beliefs, and ideas.  We should all be thankful that we live in a place that gives us freedoms that we oftentimes take for granted.  However, we also deal with a lot of misunderstandings and communication barriers.  I was flipping through channels earlier when I cam across the Oprah show.  Oprah was interviewing a Muslim woman who was born and raised in the United States.  She was discussing the many misunderstandings and myths of being Muslim.  This really got me thinking about how quick we are to judge people and place our approval or disapproval stamps on those we meet.

I know that nobody is perfect but for this 4th of July I want to wish for everyone to be more compassionate and more understanding of people.  Realize that oftentimes people don’t do things to purposely hurt you.  Take time to understand the situation from different points of view and think before you act.  I think if we were all a bit more understanding and accepting of one another we would definitely make the world a better place.

happy 4th of July everyone!

So yesterday, I decided to show the video of Loren Feldman’s “technigga” and opted not to discuss the whole issue of Shel Israel Vs Loren Feldman.  If you want more information on that then read this on Shel’s blog, this on blogherald, check out this friendfeed debate, or browse around Google, I’m sure you will find plenty of information.  Well, today I would like to chime in with my 2 cents, but I want to address this from a more general standpoint and not focus too much on who said what, etc.  I respect both Shel Israel and Loren Feldman, they are both smart guys.  I want to address this from a “human” angle.

Are you using social media platforms to social network? Or, are you using social media platforms for social media marketing? Or perhaps you are using web 2.0 to socially market your social media platform for social networking to maintain active in the web 2.0 space?

Does this sound a bit confusing? Good!

Anyone else want to poke themselves in the eye with a bamboo shoot every time they hear all the different web 2.0 words?  I mean it’s one thing if we had some consistency but it seems like we are just all over the map!

So this week I have been doing a lot of “what if” thinking. I think it’s actually pretty healthy to sit down every once in a while and think about the possibilities, the options, and that “what if’s” of life. There is the classic “what would you do with a million dollars question”. My thoughts were more geared toward, what would you do if your company expanded rapidly? What would you do if your company failed? What would you do if you needed to raise money? I also like to think a bit more abstractly and vaguely as well, “what if you had to move to China?” What if you never used computer again?”
