…Photographer. Most mobile phones have a camera on them. It’s not that hard to share those photos with the world thru Flickr or Picasa. Everyone’s a Photographer.

…Publisher. I heard someone say this morning that there are an infinite number of blogs out there. You can do so for free. It doesn’t cost you anything to do so on Blogger or WordPress, and you don’t need a publisher any more to do it. You can write.

…Recording Artist. Check out YouTube and Vimeo for online recordings of covers and originals – some of which garner a million hits. Even the real recording artists and companies are putting their stuff on it.

…Director, Screen Writer, or Actor. YouTube.

Comments-ation

A conversation that you have with a bunch of people – using just comments.  It’s not like you’re all in the room.  It’s not like you’re face to face, but you’re definitely having a conversation with people – using just comments.

I just made it up in my last post.  I wonder if anyone else is using it.  (Ah yes, not original with me, but still a great word.  Google it or click this.)

Check out a friend’s status update on Facebook or one of their pictures.  It’s a relatively new phenomenon right?  We have Comments-ations instead of Conversations.

It’s not a bad thing.  I mean, the web is changing everything.  You can be friends with people who aren’t your friends.  You can find a spouse that you don’t even have to date.  Why not have a conversation without conversing?

Comments-ation – we need to learn how to do it.
