[...] When Max Gladwell posted his third “10Ways to Change the World Through Social Media” I was only able to send a Tweet about it, since my blog wasn’t up yet. As I rev up my own social media channel, it’s a pleasure to be able to call attention to this post and the unique position Max Gladwell has taken at the nexus of social media and green living. As a perpetual student of online guerrilla marketing, equally impressive to me was the idea of a coordinated, simultaneous multi-blog post and its relationship to the changing media landscape. [...]

I think this post is dead-on — the new media revolution means anyone can declare themselves an expert and develop a loyal following of readers. In many cases I think this is great — it encourages so much more conversations and allows so many more intelligent voices to be heard who previously might not have had the resources or access to be heard. On the other hand though — it does expose the negative side of the internet and gives attention to many who don’t deserve it as well….

Ivan: If it weren’t for spell check technologies, we wouldn’t be in the writing business. So you’ve made our point, thanks.

As I suggested to my kid’s school administrator, when you can use a spell checker, you can consider yourself “a professional”. So I suggest you writers engage in some proffesionalization(?).
ACT THE FUCK NOW: brush up on your I.T. skills.
I guess you might be thinking that taking issue over a few spelling errors doesn’t really compare to the issues this site is trying to address. I live under a trans-atlantic flight path and if I look up I’ll see a large passenger plane every 60 seconds of every day. I wonder why I should listen to those who insist I should abandon my family car while “they” hop on and off planes like you expect me to hop on and off buses. The President-elect Obama, elected on a “change” manifesto, has promised billions of dollars to prop up a last century technology motor industry. He is going to provide employment through a new highway building program for more gas guzzling cars. His transition administration have considered two appointees to head up agriculture with a record of supporting G.M. technologies in farming. To use your site terminolgy, WHAT A FUCK UP! The only change I am hearing is a change of dialect. The language remains the same. As a British sitcom character, Victor Meldrew, said to the Matron of the old peoples’ home claiming her residents were well cared for, “What is that language you’re speaking, because it sounds like Bollocks to me!”

P.S. Please excuse any spelling mistakes. I’m an amateur writer.
