me: yeah whats up 9:55 PM Person A: whats the difference between a twitter and rss feed really? me: seriously? well... Person A: ya, im still new to some of the web stuff never jpaid much attention to rss and twitter 9:56 PM me: I guess you could say their the same except that with twitter you are making much smaller posts but on a much more expedient level...rss feeds allow the user to get much larger company updates but on a more periodic basis you actually have a point 9:57 PM Person A: ok, thats what i figured, didnt know if i was missing something as i understand, twitters are kinda similar to say.. text messages? me: its like this i guess...the heroin addict needs to shoot up several times a day but a Pharmecueticall junky only needs to eat one or two a day, haha what you think of that analogy? Person A: lmao 10:00 PM me: oh and here the part of that analogy that really makes sense though... 10:02 PM the heroin addict will take anything good, bad, placebo, he doesnt care, just post post post is what they want....Pill addicts have flavors, high standards if you will, they only like what comes from a doctor or pharmaceutical company...So, take that analogy and look at the web...if you treat twitter like a heroin addict treats his addiction you'll be lost in the monotony of misguided uniformed information but if you treat it like an rss feed...only follow those that are really important to you and that are really powerful then you'll find you have better results. Person A: wow nice 10:03 PM you should post that somewhere... haha
me: you just read my mind, was gonna ask you if you cared if I posted this convo....i just reread it and as abstrct as it was it makes perfect sense to me 10:04 PM Person A: haha nice, when you post it send me a link :P ------------------------------------------------ Platformic --------------------------------------------------------------- 10:05 PM me: sure will...by the way....check out this....met the guy who created this cms platform last night called platformic 10:06 PM its nuts bro...I was panicking in the presentation because I was in serious doubt anyone will ever need hard coders or developers ever again then I thought about it and even though he's selling it to the big hosting companies there wil always be a need for us 10:07 PM Person A: ya, people always need stuff thats customized past what the pre-programmed systems can put out me: platformic.com...there getting close to not needing it at all though 10:09 PM Person A: but im just gettin into the industry! bastards lol 10:11 PM me: Don't worry, I don't think you'll have a problem.10:14 PM your 19...you know what i was doing when i was 19...shit, was drinking and partying, not doing anything to forward myself really...you keep up with what your doing and your going to be so valuable in the future...computer geeks are now becoming more then guys who play war craft to being guys that are the most financially stable and confident people out there...somewhere in the last 10 years the marketing guys and the programmers merged into this weird SEOM version of two separate species of Internet promoters...I think we should get excited not scared...the futures just going to open up more doors for those that think all of em are closing 10:19 PM Person A: dude, my boss is driving me nuts me: ha...is it cause of his accent 10:20 PM Person A: no... its cause he wont let me move above bitch work.. lol 10:22 PM me: well, in America, do you think he sees you any differently than his guys in India? or any different from a belt that spins on a car...I swear to god, thats the reason, people like him, rick, and others why more than anything I'm going to prove that you can have a successful business without having to treat people like parts on a car 10:24 PM Person A: exactly, and i think he doesnt want me to actually rise up in his company, because he knows he can find someone in india doing the same job as me, but pay them 300% less i cant wait until i dont need that job 10:26 PM me: well, listen, the sooner you learn this the better...If your not getting raises and not being promoted then dont ever take anything an employer says to heart. If their saying they would fall apart without you but not showing you monetarily then they are just brain washing you... its always business and iif you look at it that way youll find see real quick that their usintg you instead of uTilizing you excuse me, appreciating you 10:27 PM sorry, just came from a social networking group meeting with a bunch of forever frat people so Im kinda tuned up right now Person A: haha i can tell 10:28 PM but ya, at first i fell for the whole thing of, these are our plans and this is how its gonna pan out, blah blah, but they say that, and it just falls through, and im stuck doing some bullshit general work |
