Are You a Revolutionary?

Che GuevaraYes, that is right, if you are reading this post, you just might be a revolutionary.

Bloggers and social networkers are changing the world as we know it. Don’t kid yourself, many around us don’t like what we are doing. Many have built multi-billion dollar industries designed to sell you products and services through your television and your newspapers. However, you, the revolutionary, are destroying the society they have created. You are stealing their treasure and destroying the value of their property. Through your use of blogs, websites, podcasts, home videos, etc. you are engaging in economic terrorism of the likes that has never been seen before. Be careful, be very careful. The mass media industrial complex will try to crush you!!

Ok, well that might be a little dramatic, but you are experiencing a revolution and you are a participant. We are all participants.

Newest on the Net’s primary purpose is to discuss the newest innovations involving the Internet. At this time, I feel that blogging and social networking are most revolutionary and most profound innovations of our life time. Blogs are changing the way we communicate. Never has it been easier or cheaper to share ideas with the world. Blogging platforms like Wordpress, Vox and Blogger and video platforms like YouTube make it almost free to disseminate information. With only a computer anyone can become a journalist, novelist, political theorist, satirist, editor, or educator.

While blogs have removed the barriers to entry for publishing, social networking has allowed the mass dissemination of this information. A revolutionary is just a crackpot if no one listens to him. But through the use of social networking sites, it has become much easier to find people to read your writings, to listen to your podcasts and to watch your videos. Blogs are the guns of this revolution and social networking is the gun powder.

Thankfully this revolution is non-violent and I can participate while sitting in front of the computer in my underwear!! You can thank me later for not uploading the picture.
