Graft and corruption,
So many thumbs pressing down
Exploitation’s tools.

A haiku
I seek to make things better
Progressing forwards.
Progressing forwards
Today’s anger spent
I seek to make things better
Progressing forwards.
Winter
Cold wetness seeps in.
Clothing’s heaviness intense.
Seattle’s winter.
Being Human
Funny humans,
The only part of this
Universe that flails
And rages, expecting
Full control of this
Immensity.
The value of Facebook
Lately, I’ve been considering all the changes Facebook has blasted out over the years. Particularly, I’ve been wondering about the Facebook pages I manage. In particular, the many changes to the way business pages interact with the general user concern me. I first noticed this with my personal page feed. Business page content gets filtered out, rarely appearing in feeds, even MY pages in MY feed. I’m also noticing a drop in engagement: comments, questions, dialog, et al. This video takes that concern and provides some flesh to its bones.
Now I wonder about Facebook’s value to small businesses in any capacity. If content and connection gets buried, lost, or goes out to irrelevant audiences, there is no value. Well, little. Ok, well, lesser. The value of Facebook is still immense. Facebook is still a key piece to a social media strategy. It’s THE place, with diverse demographics and a truly global reach. Or, as I like to say, it’s the place with the eye-balls. So, there’s still value in the gorilla that is Facebook, but it’s role and impact have just changed.
Expect that, within this perpetually changing landscape, it’s place and value will change yet again. And again…
Healing
Perhaps healing’s not
Returning to the old life
Rather, a new one
Haiku
Oh, smartassery,
Free of all cynicism.
A good goal, perhaps?
Meditation on Greatness
One cannot achieve greatness
Adhering to the status quo.
Mediocrity, numbing the
Quiet desperation, drifting
Through life barely creates
Fertilizer for poppies.
Night’s Comforts
In the night’s darkness
Sometimes I find strange comfort
Peace through self knowledge.
