Ignorance is bliss.

I have just updated this blog’s theme a little bit. Nothing too fancy nor important. While I was doing so I decided to ditch Technorati.
I’m under the perception that a lot of “social media” has become a thing that is mainly about egos. I have a huge ego, don’t get me wrong, but I think is interfering with the conversation.
This thing of who has the largest audience, reach or whatever they want to call it is sickening. There is too much noise, too much lack of essence and little real content sharing just for the fun of it.
When the de-facto reply to most things is “can you re-tweet?”, “can you share?” and things of that sort there is no longer a conversation, there is just promotion.
This blog has no reach and a very limited audience. And if it ever grows (I doubt that’ll happen) I don’t want to know, or, god forbid, I’ll start to self promote.
Ignorance is bliss and shall keep me honest.
:i: Before anybody feels hurt: there are a lot of people who are great conversation makers and haven’t let their huge readership get up to their heads.

Esteban,
File in the “for what it’s worth” category, as we just found out on Friday, you may well show up in the oddest of places, where others with higher ranks do not.
We need to discuss my trip - I have some ambitious thoughts and will need your help. I think we have a big opportunity in front of us.
