Comments on: Tempest, I am Your Teapot http://geekmommy.wordpress.com/2008/01/28/tempest-i-am-your-teapot/ I'm a geek. I'm past 40. I'm mom to a preschooler. It's always an adventure.

That's the point of wikis, blogs, twitter, etc. EVERYTHING we have in 2002-forward is stuff we can impact. Your blog has impact. Your twitter has impact. Your videoblogs, etc, can be seen. We have voices, mouse. : ) Bad idea? Great! But it was an idea that can happen. I see <a href="http://elvispoultry.com" rel="nofollow">lots of bad ideas</a> in my world, and I applaud each one for getting air it never got before. Your opinion is very valid. Glad you raised it. Thanks for sharing it, and for the post. Personally, I’m hoping Ev and Biz (or more likely some clever 3rd party) will see this all, think, “hmm, these mortals need something” and will create it.

I just squeaked when the rest of the room was quiet... and it echoed, apparently! :P Seriously, apparently, no one even told Chris Brogan there was any dissension about it until way late in the day. Too weird. Somehow, I ended up saying the right thing and the wrong thing and some other things and there ya go. It will be interested to see what happens in the long run with that whole wiki. I would love it if it turned out that I'm just an alarmist pessimist who doesn't get the intrinsic goodness of people! Seriously! Besides, I spent half the night playing Webkinz with the girlchild and missed the second Act entirely! :) I am so *not* cooler than you… I just squeaked when the rest of the room was quiet… and it echoed, apparently! :P

This is the first I even knew about this. And I'll tell you what--I went ahead and added myself in the "location" section, just because there wasn't anyone from my entire state represented. A "location search" is something I have long wished for in both Twitter AND etsy.com. (Really, I can't believe that etsy doesn't give you the option of searching for local artisans by any way other than that stupid map thing!) Yeah, you are so much cooler than me.
