Laurent Courtines – MeowSplash

Ok, now that I have spent the last two hours struggling with Facebook Connect and it’s bullshit I have a couple things to say.
1. F U.
2. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH
3. Ok. I get it, I don’t understand how any of these things work but I know how to follow directions and it still no worky.

• Commenting with Facebook Connect (http://developers.facebook.com/)

Just put the Google and the Facebook Connectors on the site. Thanks to the Willis for helping. Things on the web get really easy when there are different levels of nerds to help

I am thankful for the nerds I have. I understand, I have a blog that is called MeowSplash.com and that makes me a nerd too. That’s the thing with nerds, there are nerd specializations and you can be a nerd in one thing but not another.

Examples you say? Well, I would never consider myself a gamer nerd and I make fun of the gang here for it all the time. But I am a Baseball nerd – I mean I read at least 3-5 baseball books a year. Big ones at that.

The moral of the story? Everyone has their nerd in them. It’s just a matter of finding what makes them nerd out.

The first post is always the most important or is it the least imporant?  Who knows.  I´m trying to find my voice and theme here for Meowsplash what I am hoping for is that this blog/site/whatever the hell it is can be a place where anyone who wants to (or at least that I like) can post things talk about their loves or whatever.

Can I be like BlogHer without being a mom?

I suppose the model would be BlogHer (If you don´t know what it is look up) .  I love the idea of a federated site where people I know,  people I consider smart who might not have the wherewithall to start their own sites or content dumps could have a place to post their stuff.    Maybe we can break all the successful blog ¨rules” and simply post things and see what sticks?  If someone become more popular or is the better wrtter than good for them I´d  would never want to prevent someone for charging forward.

Itś like having a Gym buddy.

While I fool myself into believing I go to the gym -  if I had someone to go to the gym with it would be really helpful in actually getting there.  I think producing content is like that for me.  I am not such an egoist that I would write,  or can write that well or enough to satisfy a blog on my own. However,  as  group of people with different strengths and areas of expertise I think producing content could be fun.  Freed from corporate goals or needs for page views or unique visitors maybe,  just maybe fun could be had.  Like I said,  if I had a buddy to take me to the gym we all would push each other forward into breach.

Competition is good.

So I am sounding like a capitalist pig, so what?  Itś effective!  In some areas pure competition is good.  In sports,  in writing and in products pure competing delivers the best products.  If the  Meowplash collective can push each other with regards to posts,  comments or whatever metrics we want to compete on than weĺl have a good site or at least one we think is good.

What do you think?  Am I talking out of my anus?  Do you want to contribute?  Get involved.  Let me know.
