Scrubbing Toilets Makes the World Better… Right?

alt="Scrubbing Toilets Makes The World A Better Place" title="Scrubbing Toilets Makes The World A

Better Place" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="220" height="165" align="right" />Since I seem to be

big on quotes this week I thought I’d regurgitate something I spotted on a forum not long ago. It

went something like this:

“…scrubbing toilets probably is worse [than

journalism]. On the other hand, at the end of the day, a toilet scrubber knows he’s left the world

better than it was before.”

Does blogging count as real [[journalism]]? I’m

not entirely sure. After all, journalism is not so much a method of communication as it is a type

of message sent, right? Blogs can be used as a tool for journalism just like they can be used as a

tool for family communication,

move forward with the thought that blogging could be considered journalism then are we to consider

all bloggers Journalists? Whooooah… Would the next logical line of thought take us down the road

of journalistic responsibility and integrity and… and… Aw to heck with it – we’re just

bloggers.

So in the spirit of toilet scrubbing making the world a better

place with each post, I’ll leave you with the following snippets worth reading today – seriously.

Read them.

   More Organized Profile Page – A not so insignificant problem with Facebook is with the advent

   of the “Pirate vs. Ninja” style Facebook application, the profiles of Facebook denizens have

   started to get a little cluttered. Wanting to dodge the MySpace bullet, they’ve set up profile

   pages with a new tabbed system to segregate out a bit of the content from the main default

   view.

   companies very quickly, easily, and for free. So I think there’s probably an overreliance on

   technology. I think that people get lazy.
