Comment on Google Plus Nothing by Jonathan Brazil

Thanks Seamus. It seems like a great platform for social interaction (and integration), even after the initial hype of the “shiny and new”. I’ve been putting it through its paces with respect to privacy and filtering of content and overall it has proved very impressive. While mostly a consumer of content myself, it has great promise for producers too, through the circles mechanism of broadcasting. For somebody like yourself, it would be a great vehicle for sending out political views to the interested parties while not over populating your main content stream – if desired of course. Many of the other platforms before now, never gave users that option. I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops with time and of course with increased uptake.

Good article Jonathan. I’m experimenting with Google+ myself and like what I see so far…..

Comment on It’s Green, White and Orange you know? by Jonathan Brazil

HEX values I’m afraid are beyond my current knowledge but I know the basic names of the colours. Hopefully the event is well received by all. It would be great to have a little pride and simply obtained good feeling in these times. Also worth celebrating the notable fact that Waterford played its part in our national standard. Should be good.

Very interesting Jonathan. I was just looking up the HEX values of the tricolour today for part of the Gateway-Ireland project.

Valid point Paul and I probably romanticised the elements which I saw and too quickly grabbed my rose tinted shades. I guess it had been so long since I saw real community spirit that it struck me hard, that there was a chance for such again. As you say a more significant shock than moving from M&S to Aldi would be required to really get folk mowing each other’s lawns. However, I do hold out hope that attitude change will percolate throughout our once fair land, that people won’t try to knock you off your feet in the street because they won’t deviate from their chosen path and that neighbours will become second families again. Obviously respecting privacy, space, etc but some of the old attributes are sorely lacking from society at the moment. Crime, discontent and depression are thriving as a result. We need that to change as it’s one of the few things we can change for the foreseeable future IMHO.

Those small pockets of spirit were probably catalysed by people affected worse than a few Euros less a week. My neighbours are all doing OK and we haven’t bonded or become a better community. Real change would require a much broader destruction. As it stands I see most of us muddling through on our own for some years before normality is restored and we can go back to the “old” ways you mention. I was rather hoping for some proper destruction to my class, a real kick in the backside to build better communities, not just switch from M&S to Aldi and Spain to Kerry.

Hang on, I’ll do the desk dance and upload it to youtube for comparison. As a regular contributor to my charity running madness, a big thank you to you too sir. I hope some day to repay the generosity while you torture yourself with some arduous task.
