Everyone should have a dream, something they strive for, somewhere they want to be. What’s yours? Do you really want your dream or is it a romance and a fairy tale that you talked yourself out of a long time ago?

I’ve been thinking about dreams and goals. I’ve figured out that only three roadblocks keep dreams and people apart. All 3 are things that we think and what we do because we think them.

If I tell you what they are, would you change the way you think to chase after that dream of yours? [Read more…]

Net Neutrality: What Will It Mean to Web Designers, Marketers and SEO’s?

. . . As I read the comments and articles, pro and con, I keep wondering what this means for web design and SEO? Search engines are getting better at delivering results based on where you live and who you are. How would these changes effect how you apply SEO techniques? What does this do to marketing efforts on behalf of web sites? If Google Adsense Ads no longer reach EVERYBODY, what happens then? How does this work on an Internet where the consumer web site viewing choices are based on how much they can afford or what their ISP will provide?

We’ve been used to designing, optimizing and marketing for an International, fairly wide cross section of people. We know many of our efforts don’t get past Chinese censors. What will it be like if the “censors” are phone companies in the USA? If you incorporate video into sites, do consumers have to pay more to view the web site? What does this mean to sites built outside the USA, who are accessed by American users?

Here are some quotes to consider and links. What do you think about this?

Can’t Stay in My Box — I Never Was Cool

Power Writing Series Logo

I suppose if I were the savvy one, I’d wait until Monday or Tuesday to write this post. But I’m not. I’m the one who writes when the writing needs to be done. This post can’t wait until Monday or Tuesday, and darn it. It shouldn’t either.

The dialogue around the blogs that I read a lot and among some bloggers that I care about has been around one big question lately that keeps getting twisted and turned.

Do I write about what I know and want, or do I change what I write when I see big traffic come?

It’s time we talk about the rights of a writer. [Read more…]

Could Lamont’s victory spell doom for Net Neutrality?

. . . The danger – as I see it – will be if the narrative that [Ned] Lamont’s victory occurred largely as a result of Internet activism becomes the conventional wisdom. If this misleading meme is allowed to take root and propagate, it could be used to conjure up the specter of the Net as an uncontrollable, anarchic force undermining the health of our body politic. Obviously, such a story-line could go a long way toward swaying some of the fence-sitters in Congress toward an anti-Net Neutrality position. It’s hardly inconceivable that they could soon develop a fear that with an unregulated Internet, [Joe] Lieberman’s fate may someday be their own. Worse yet, should the “angry blogger” narrative become entrenched in the public consciousness, these feckless “public servants” would be armed with the talking points needed to sell their anti-Net Neutrality stance to their constiuents.
