ChangeThis
I have been planning to speak about this link forever now. While I quite enjoy reading upon the subject of new media that alongside new technologies is rapidly metamorphosing the world that we live in, I find a lot of stuff either too tedious or technical.
ChangeThis in that respect is very refreshing. Acting as a springboard for new ideas, it provides the convenient format of a manifesto (as opposed to the dissertations that existed in the Stone Age ) in order to argue out a case.

Created by a team of five inte
rns in 2004, "on a mission to spread important ideas and change minds", it carries manifestoes among others, by popular marketing/business writers as Seth Godin, Tom Peters, Malcolm Gladwell and Guy Kawasaki.
From blogging, Web 2:0, creativity, entreprenurship to self-improvement, youth marketing and environment- the gamut of issues that are discussed is just immense.Originally I had planned to review the two manifestoes that I recently read on Open Source marketing and on TalentMyth (Are Smart People Overrated?) but perhaps I will do that in subsequent posts.
For now, I think as the self-touted guardian priest of logic :) , I just feel glad to see a format that facilitates different thoughts, that states that if you do not agree to what is being said, then instead of fretting and fuming to be the victim of a partisan world, why not put together a case for yourself. "Stick to the testable and the logical and see if you can get your alternative point of view to spread". I quite like the simple sentence with which they sum up why a person may not like a certain manifesto:
"...you might be upset just because you disagree with the conclusions. But if the thought process is right, if the arguments are sound, if the facts are correct but bother you , perhaps the problem isn't with the manifesto - it may just be the discomfort people feel when challenged to change."

Lady Thanks for bothering to write. Will read up on Change this before I actually comment on what u have written. But its refreshing not to see that 'Always the last to know'...
Pleasure Ash..do read it..its quite the fun :)
Sorry, I am not posting a comment regarding what you have published. But about the titles you have given to your blog. Subversion and disjointed thoughts seem to be two extreme poles. And the poem was definitely a classic effort towards 'bitter rhyming'. Personal opinion.
Thank you for posting your comment.In your business am sure you see enough of 'bitter rhyming' to identify it at once :)I guess I revel in self-exaggeration and hence such aesthetically reckless attempt at poetry. About the titles, did not realise the anomaly earlier.Synthesis however was never really a part of the original vision for my blog.Contradiction adds to its character :)
Thanks again.
Well, after reading your posts, I can say you can do my business better than me ;-). Honestly!
