Almost 40% of the Twitter messaging

is "pointless babble".

I often face this dilemma about Twitter, where I have various kind of "friends" - some of them individuals, some of them organisations or newspapers and reviews: how interesting what I am "twitting" about could be? I finally made the choice to simply put on-line some articles or some questions related to professional issues, as none of the members of the network are close friends. So, they will not be interested how happy I am today, or if I liked the icecream. The need to adequate your message to your readers is the main line and the key to efficient communications.

Google and knowledge

an antinomic couple?

Should we fear that Internet will kill the "true" knowledge? I don't think Internet in itself is the big issue we should worry about. It is, in fact, a huge, virtual library with everything you never dream it could be found.

Better, we should put under close scrutiny the education systems in themselves, and the ways in which the knowledge it is distributed. For a long time, the focus was on facts, now, we should mostly focused on how to use facts.

My choice is somewhere in-between: I know very well the system focused on facts, facts, facts. When, for example, you have to learn by heart - not by mind - long poetries, without having any idea about what it is all about, because you don't have time to think. In the same time, searching the Internet without clear criteria about what you are looking for, in terms of being able to make your own choices among thousand of results, it is problematic. Our capacity to know it is extremely limited, in comparison with the enormous volume of knowledge. But, a "voie royale" should be the pure desire of knowing and knowing and knowing.

Week-end readings

about how to keep a balance between work and private life.

Good advice, but in reality, at the beginning, you cannot have too many choices and opportunities to avoid late hours in office or in-between meetings. It is why, perhaps, it is better to start a family later on, after you enjoy a certain financial and professional clear status. Sometimes it is too late for a career, sometimes too late for a family life. In many cases, you depend upon too many people, with not a very clear notion and respect of time ruining your time and putting your patience at a big trial.

In my opinion, whatever you start and whenever, it is important to have a very clear schedule of what do you want to achieve. A happy life, with friends and family, without a luxury comfort but still happy. Or a busy life, with meetings and money and ups and downs. It is very important to be happy with your own choices. But of course, at the beginning of the road, you don't know for sure what you should expect at the end. Hence, a permanent checking of the correspondence with your own values it is more than welcomed. As often as possible.

The next generation

after Twitter?

It is just the beginning, as much of the advantages and technical weakness are still being tested. But, what it is more important, is the increasing demand, also creating a pressure towards change.

Food bloggers

met food PR. Not to change roles and try to convince each other of their unique truth, but to talk and exchange ideas. A matter of dialogue and transparency.
