stop making excuses

there are two groups of people ruining it for everyone else:

cynics
cowards

one day the internet may just be broken links and recycled aggregations of sponsored advertorials. it might be something we reminisce about, like cassette tapes and those lumbering sets of encyclopedia britannica we all used to page through when we researched school assignments.

when you look back do you want to remember that your contribution was snarky commentary, a website last updated in 2006 (or worse, 2001) or… nothing? because you were too busy scoffing at other people to do something of your own, something better, an example of ‘being online’ in a way you think is more authentic?

& to the rest of you: you don’t need to know how to use twitter - you just need to start by typing the update in the box. you don’t need to know how to blog - you just need to write a thought, a story, a call for action in the box.

just put things on the internet.

use spaces in ways that make sense to you.

stop making excuses.
