Say website instead of Blog... What's wrong with our Blogosphere?

Finally someone summed up life in the land of Probloggerville. I mean Blogosphere... Below is some of what was said on Problogger today. What said below is true in many more ways than blogging!

----------------------



Are You Talking At Or Talking To Your Readers?

If I walked into a crowded mall, went into the food court, stood there in the middle of it and just started talking, what do you think would happen?

Most people wouldn’t see me. Then, a few would and they would probably think I was crazy. At the end of the day, I’ll just be that crazy guy they saw at the mall.


Now, imagine if 90% of the people in the food court did that. They just got up and started talking into space. It would be one big din of noise. Now, all of those people want to feel as if they are famous, so they start competing and trying to out-talk the other people. The volume increases, but few are being listened to. The ones who are listened to are the ones at least saying something useful.

And that is the blogosphere

A digital prophecy as two brief videos...

A popular video currently making the rounds is clearly demonstrating what's happening with the internet's social-net transformation. That video is posted below. It's imprtant for everyone to see it. But what's more important is first seeing a similar video that was made a couple years ago. Between these two videos, you may be able to discern where you fit into it all...

What a Non-Profit Communication Control Panel Can Look Like

In less than four hours I was able to take the majority of all Humboldt Watershed Council's data & online tools and put them into a single interface.

The primary motivation for creating this interface is to get members of Board of Directors to actively particpate in the creation of website content. The website: http://voicesofhumboldtcounty.com was created by me last April. The goal was to get a dozen watershed activists to actively post content. That hasn't worked out yet... Perhaps this new NetVibes interface will work better?

The interface consists of four tabs. The first tab is titled: Data & Communication

This tab consists of 1) A to-do list 2) A data library of relevent content that's been gathered up, but not yet published, 3) A view of our most recent emails / link to our email account. 4) Our Facebook feed, as well as a window to post directly to Facebook, 5) Our Twitter feed, as well as a window to post directly to Twitter.

The Second Tab is called: Humboldt Voices

This Tab consists of the 1) North Coast Journal's Blog monitoring blog known as Blogthing, 2) The Local Radio Station KMUD, 3) The local Newspaper, 4) Out of View of the image are other local enviro-oriented blogs, 5) As well as our flagship blog: http://voicesofhumboldtcounty.com

The Third tab is called: California Voices, which is a collection of enviro-oriented websites throughout the state. This is the tab that soon will have the most content, as well an HWC-oriented California-wide organizing campaign called "Voices of California."

Finally the Fourth tab is called: California Newspapers

Heading out after a family together of traditions
A family hearing of the taproot of world suffering

the need for a cure at the center of the world
the psychic center of all life’s center, the holy land.
A desert soon to be gardens for all peoples and all life

Wanting to say hello
reaching
our hands out to each other
reaching our hands together
feeling warmth in each other
no eyes meet
yet that brief greeting amidst heading out
through a crowd of quiet listening
That brief greeting is an antidote
that defies all facts and figures
defies all suffering of even the bloodiest of oppressions
defies all loss and terror, all imprisonments, all starvations

A found solution
Think only of the warmth between those hands
Think of how this warmth, this living sharing… Essential
Think Hands sharing the silent singing of their voices
Hands sending warmth and circulation
Hands as the strongest note of the lowest and hieghest range
These songs are strong
vibrant thriving

Steady roots connected
branch tips swaying closer and further
hands touching, sending, recieving
hands as inner walls fading from need
past barriers of hurt, loss and rage.

Maybe we learn to let go enough someday?

Maybe see the whole forest…
then foreget what your looking at
then remember that you forget
then find yourself
in the bark pattern
of specific space
on a specific treee
amongst so many tree.

This is song for fallen one’s song
now recited by now new Elders…

Hands In time…
rain
centuries of rain
Quiet calm in trees
we are here to soothe
to end the harm and remedy the hurt at the center of the world…
remedy the hurt and center the world…

Poetry: Soundofthesoundofthesound by DeaneTR

  
(download)

The sound of the sound of the sound of the word
 
Once read as it echoes
 
The sound of the sound of the truth
 
Once read as it bleeds on earth under soil
 
To a deeper world of vision
 
Of a rhythm of the rhyme of the rhythm
 
Of a tone… once known repeats…
 
 
 
As rhyme of the rhyme of rhythm
 
As presence as wings as eyelids as all limbs
 
As complete whirls as dancing real and in wealth
 
As breath of air of winds of wind as
 
Leaves of larger and larger
 
Ever growing wind? As well as
 
Love that is shaped by wind… as eyes seeing as
 
 
 
As original eyes as moist blinking eyes of rapid moving
 
Of the wind moves around a limb of a wind moves
 
Around a trunk of a wind is a life swaying
 
Century on century on deeper and deeper rooted soil
 
As wind that you’ll best know
 
As wind within as how you refine
 
How it flows how it dances how it’s real…
 
 
 
As the sound of the sound of the sound of a sword
 
Slicing through air as dancer’s spinning limbs and body
 
And joy in eyes blinking collected rhythm…
 
As the whole sword’s point as circle of circles of circles
 
Just above the ground… wind flowing moving as a center point
 
As poise, as discipline, as refinement as pleasure. Precise… as
 
Abundance as Purpose… of how we live as trees.

Pruning: Living Stumps Removes the Hazard branches and preserves what remains

Have you ever seen the giant old trees in story books? You know the
ones with the big gnarled trunks and a tiny tree canopy overhead?

 Well that same effect can be created with trees that are too old and
too damaged than what most tree pruners will want to save...

 Sometimes this process is seen as an eyesore and the trees are removed
entirely after five or six years. An example of this are the first two
trees...

 But sometimes as in the case of the 170 year old Walnut tree below,
the sprout branches are regularly pruned and an important landmark in
Downtown Santa Cruz is still alive and well...

 Back in 1994 when myself and others convinced the city to practice
this style of pruning the city's arborist was furious. He promised us
that the tree would die in a few years and it would never produce
walnuts again...

 Yet here we are 15 years later and this tree is still alive and still
producing Walnuts!

 This technique tends to work better with slower growing trees in drier
climates, such as this oak tree that grow in the San Francisco Bay
Area...
