It's more important to me to get an e-mail that says, 'I saw your page and it changed my life,' than how many hits the page got.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The evidence that things are changing fast can be seen in the dramatic increase in the influence of blogging. We should be collecting emails as we used to collect telephone numbers and using them to better communicate our message to key voters.
When I got laid off, I would write my friends these 15-page-long emails. This was before people had personal emails, and my friends would tell me that I was going to get them fired if I kept sending them stuff, so I started a website.
Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
I've been on, like, the forefront of social media. I run all my own pages, and this is back to MySpace and answering my own emails in, like, 2006. Even before that, I always had websites with emails that dropped directly to me.
I'm certainly getting a lot more mail... that's basically it.
I live in the moment. I can turn the page and move on.
It is hard to check five email inboxes, three voice mail systems, or five blogs that you are tracking.
I'm not on Page Six, because I don't have anything salacious happening in my life... unfortunately.
This life is yours and no one else's, and if you spend your time looking at other people's pages, you'll never get anything done.
When you write down your life, every page should contain something no one has ever heard about.
