I think that blogging and the Internet has completely changed feminism for ever, I think.
The dark side of blogging is, of course, people can be (and are) just savage and uncivilized, deeply cruel and fully unaccountable.
The key to success in blogging (and in many areas of life) is small but regular and consistent actions over a long period of time
In some ways, blogging is like drinking - it gives a person permission to be a total asshole.
I'm never, I hope, stupid enough to believe that Twitter or blogging or any of this stuff is a substitute for actually doing the work or writing a book.
But there's a bigger trend I'm seeing: people who used to enjoy blogging their lives are now moving to Twitter.
I've never done a film before where every single person in the audience knows the ending. I mean suspense, twists are almost impossible these days. People are blogging your endings from their cinema seats.
Fans, true fans, are hard to find and precious. Just a few can change everything. What they demand, though, is generosity and bravery.
The Internet makes money for you when you build something that is real and when it matters to people!
Make a list of competitors who will be disrupted by you. You do have competitors, right? You are better, right? If not, why are you going to Disrupt? Post a blog post about them and what makes you different.
When a guest blogger can't even be bothered sharing their own post on their social networks; they're pretty much admitting 'I don't care about this post, and I don't want to be associated with it'. In the end these guests posts are just another form of spam.
Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.
When I grew up there was no web, blogging or tweeting. In fact, where I grew up there was not even television! I met a lot of my friends in school and in college, and they are still my friends today.
In this age of micro-blogging and two second sound bites, almost no one has the attention span, or time, to read more than a few sentences.
A brand is no longer what we tell the consumer it is - it is what consumers tell each other it is.
I have to live the content, then come back and write about it.
If you accept all the praise, you have to accept all the critics.
Customers can't always tell you what they want, but they can always tell you what's wrong.
Just as we don't spend a lot of time worrying about how all those poets out there are going to monetize their poetry, the same is true for most bloggers.
Love your readers to death!
Reality TV, blogging and self-publishing are all evidence of a society's or culture's desire to be more public. And that's a sign of a healthy or energetic culture.
As soon as you start publishing, you are the star and so people see you that way.
The Internet destroyed most of the barriers to publication. The cost of being a publisher dropped to almost zero with two interesting immediate results: anybody can publish, and more importantly, you can publish whatever you want.
The more popular a person thinks he is in the blogosphere, the thinner his skin and the thicker his hypocrisy. This should be exactly the opposite: the higher you go the thicker the skin and thinner the hypocrisy.
Since the advent of the Internet - more recently compounded by blogging - everyone can be a published voice. Any cowardly, anonymous anger-monger can have an audience of thousands.
