this ain't no utopia

Good point from Euan:

Although I now make my living helping people understand the world of social computing and evangelise about its potential I am also quick to point out that the technologies in themselves don't bring about utopia. People are people and you get the good, the bad, the confused and the weak in about the same proportions as you do in real life.

Too true. Thanks for pointing this out.

I've been thinking about my tolerance for criticism, of late. Since, my day job is all about having a deep tolerance for criticism, bullshit and fluff, I want my blog to be free from it, yet it never will be as long as comments are on.
