We are all experts, or are we?

Gee, I'm in a philosophical mood today...

We are all experts.

The question is, is that a good or a bad thing? Blogging has become amazingly popular in the 21st century and with it, the concept of writing articles. Just about anyone with research skills can write articles on topics ranging from "how-to do just about anything" to "why you should do just about anything" to news and current affairs.

On the surface, this seems like a bad thing. How can a person with no background, no field of expertise, offer articles to the world?

Three of the opinions, found in this argument (in my opinion. I'm no expert ;) are:


1. Everyone should be allowed to offer their views

• the web should be like an open book, and anyone should be able to share their opinion on a topic. Whether they are right or not should be decided on by the internet and the readers of the content.  
• We are all experts is a blog that believes that anyone should be able to comment on art. This links up to the Postmodern idea that everybody is right, because everything is subjective.
•  Reddit, a popular online article sharing site, is a great example of putting this idea into action. Users can give a link a thumbs up or thumbs down and the article will often only become popular if it's newsworthy, good, or so bad that it becomes infamous (that's the other side of the coin...)

Random little thought.

 
What blogging is:

Blogging is like wrapping a gift in words, and mailing it out to the world.

It's very exciting to wait in anticipation for the gift to be unwrapped.

The cutest online games

Hello lovely people:)

Today, just because, I decided to put up a list of the 5 cutest online games (or gaming resources) I played today. The reason I chose them is because they're quick to load (if you have Adobe Flash Player) and are either quick to play or really addictive to play.They're also friendly. No blood and gore required!

Please note, my definition of cute sometimes includes the subdefinitions short, cheesy, cool and wow...

5 Cute online games: 
(in no particular order. In fact, the last one is my favourite;)

1. Fly Guy

In this game, the man flies and interacts with objects along the way. It's cute, basic and short and that's why I liked it.

 2. NESCafe Play
www.nescafeplay.com/main/ 
Great place to play the classics from the old Nintendo TV games like Super Mario
Super fun! Of course you can guess what I was doing this morning...

3. Knoword
www.knoword.org/
This game will make you SMARTER, or just exercise your brain :)
It gives you the definition and the starting letter. You guess the word.
Simple, challenging and surprisingly addictive!

4. Miniputt

I didn't think this would be fun, but it was! It's putt putt and it's really simple to play, with only the mouse - no keyboard required.
Haha, maybe that's why I like it. I actually score! unlike the real-world putt putt...

5. Love

**Favourite of the day!**
It really is a cute, simple game and it's clever and philosophical too. The closer you get to your opponents, the more love you get, but be careful: if you touch them, game over.
Sidenote: The sound effects are brilliant too. Really targets the emotion.
Remember not to click the advert in the middle when it loads. Click play at the bottom.

When you're having a day that's not so fun, online gaming provides all you need and it's surprising how many online games there actually are. Not all of them are my definition of cute though, which is why I made you this list (^_^)

If you enjoyed the list, consider tweeting it or sharing below.

But mostly, have fun!

Twitter Revolution

Here's a fun, spontaneous poem about twitter. You should read it like a song, possibly with a rap beat in the many choruses... whatever #that means.

It's beginning...
The twitter revolution.

#Whispers take place all around.
Are they in my head?
Maybe.
But they say:

#Twitter

Tweet tweet.

Twitter...

#Twitter

Tweet tweet.
Twitter...

Twitt-er

I #flitter
Tweet tweet.
I flitter.

Twitter on the #facebook,
It's there.
Hashtags on the status updates:
I swear.

They go:

#Twitter

Tweet tweet.
Twitter.

I #flutter
Tweet tweet.
I flutter.

#Twitter in the blogposts:
Oh yeah.
They say:

Follow me!

On #Twitter
Tweet tweet.

#Twitter in the forums.
It's like:

Follow me, I'll follow you.
It's true.
What's your url
I'll add you

#Twitter 

Tweet tweet.
It's twitter

Sweet seduction,

#tweet

Sweeps off feet,

and I figure this twitter
must be pretty neat.

I say:

Tweet tweet

Oh, #twitter...
