WikiScanner - A New Order to Online Marketing
Complete cultural accountability? Imagine the implications of the can of worms cracked open WikiScanner, the list of people who “thought” they would be anonymous when they made changes on the wikipedia, the online encyclopedia of evolving truth.
Remember the native people who lived around California’s famous bay, THEY REMEMBERED EVERY WORD THAT EVERYONE SAID THEIR ENTIRE LIVES. Everything that everyone ever said in public was public knowledge.
Hello world where there is a little more accountability in it. Virgil Griffith’s hand spun application is a cave in on those who tried to distort truth in our age. Imagine if they cannot dig themselves of this trap? What if this cave in triggers a very large earthquake of accountability? Think of the dolphins who communicate by sonar, they know each other’s feelings.
When you take actions, always remember that there may be a legacy of how you choose to behave. The means that others may judge your history may not be apparent yet. My suggestion to a new era of Online Marketing, always act with integrity and don’t fear the truth.
The optimist in me hopes the pages of “Funes el memorioso” have cracked open into reality. A story by Jorge Luis Borges about a boy who retains perfect knowledge of everything he experiences.
