I really haven't been doing this for too long, it's only been a couple of months since I started the blog and opened my Twitter account, also Facebook and MyI really haven't been doing this for too long, it's onlybeen a couple of months since I started the blog and opened my Twitter account,also Facebook and MySpace and all that stuff. It's been quite a ride though.

I learned that there's a whole other side to the internetfrom what I’m used to, I used to go online to read the news, check email, andresearch programming stuff for work, that was about it, also the occasional TVepisode and funny videos on YouTube, but after I started "tweeting"and "blogging" I found, more from tweeting than blogging, thatthere's millions of people that spend a big part of their day just talking toother people who, in most cases, they haven't even met. I see people creatingtheir own websites to post thoughts and views on current events, or maybe justvent personal stuff, It’s a really good exercise if you know how to do itcorrectly, and I can tell you right now, from all the blogs and websites I'veseen out there, I don't even know what I'm doing.

The Social Media has given a voice to people that otherwisewould be pretty much unknown, it has given the opportunity to lots of people toreach out and express their thoughts on many, many issues. There's differentkind of bloggers and tweeters out there, there's people that do it for fun,other for work, others just do it to try and get people to think like they do,to try and "guide" people into following a belief, it can bepolitical view, a religious blog, or maybe just a blog on how "my favoriteproduct is way better than yours and yours should die". The passion thatpeople pour into this blogs is amazing; they want people to know what they arefeeling, what they are thinking, why you should think like them, and probablywhat would happen if you don't.

My view is this, use it as you like and let other people useit as THEY like, if they don't like what you do, then there's someone out therethat will like it and will read and comment on it. Don't worry, I've seen thatthere's tons of people out there that will, from the goodness of their heart,help you achieve whatever goal you have set for yourself when you clicked thatbutton "create account"; look for them, reach out.

The Social Media world isn't evil. It's just powerful and out ofcontrol.
