Change is Fantastic

Everything grows, everything changes. This is the meaning of life.
That which doesn't grow or Chang has ended its life cycle and is entering the decline/death cycle.

So embrace change and be sure to step into your fear. That is where the biggest growth occurs.

And on a side note, for those of you who did not notice, Multiply is closing down this SNS or social network side of their business.

Why? Well, if you go to the Multiply blog you can read the official reason, but in a nutshell, AsiaPac is booming wit commerce on Multiply while the SNS is draining resources.

They will be providing more info soon, but they have said we can download and save our stuff if we want. For me, my stuff has run its course so I won't be Savin it, however for many other people it is important to do so. And Multiply will all us to do so if we so choose.

Time to change.

Embrace it.

Something new, something better will come along. It always does.

All you have to do is believe.

And keep an open and positive mind full of positive energy that you emit out to the Universe. It will come back magnified to you (as will any negative energy you may emit...)

It's all up to you how you see this change. Me? I see it as a great thing, another grand adventure, new change, new opportunities for growth in the IT industry, change and improvement in platforms and how we communicate with one another.

It never was about writing blogs. It was always about connecting with YOU. Each and every one of you.

I believe.

I love you!

See you wherever we meet next. Probably Facebook for now, eh?

The Ochre Letter

The novel, "The Scarlet Letter", begins in 17th-century Boston, Massachusetts, then a Puritan settlement. A young woman, Hester Prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter, Pearl, in her arms and the scarlet letter “A” on her bosom. The scarlet letter "A" represents the act of adultery that she has committed and it is to be a symbol of her sin – a badge of shame – for all to see....

Dear Multiply Folks,

I am shocked and outraged that you have branded the Premium members with that horrible Ochre Letter, "P". Not only does it infringe our profile images, but it is an embarrassment to have to parade through the blogs, "classed as an elite member".

I don't mind having "Premium" under my home page picture, but to have that ochre P show up on our icon is an unfair way to mark-et the fact that some people are paying for your services, while anyone without a "P", obviously is not.

What happened to respecting our privacy? I never bother to check whether or not others are Premium, because IT DOES NOT MATTER. Premium use is something we choose for our own reasons, and absolutely NOT to show off to others, because IT DOES NOT MATTER. Communication, and connection is what matters. It is also absolutely of no benefit to us to have that hideous P obscure our icons. All it does is put us in a seemingly cliquish group in an attempt to try to make us look like we are "better or different" from those who are not Premium Users. This is absolutely not the case. This is a very bad marketing tactic.

I request that you remove the Ochre Letter P from our icons immediately and return it to the previous system, for branding us with an ochre P is just as bad as branding a woman with a Scarlet Letter.

Oh, and I love you!
