words

People use words and the words make the story; they paint character and situation and, if used well, put everything into a context in which you can participate. What makes people interesting is the way they use words, the way they channel the power of inflections and nuances, to manipulate, educate and persuade.

Web2.0, the building of social networks, demonstrates the power of words through the increased validity of the contribution of the blogosphere to the fountain of information available to the world. Citizen journalism, self edited and personally motivated has changed the way the world sees itself, the way people see each other and the way we live.

Let's change the world, one word at a time.
