There are loads of ways to talk to the world, new al­ter­na­tives ev­ery day it seem­s. Is this thing, you know, over? Let’s count ways to hurl words at the We­b: (1) Blog on your own space, or (2) on some­one else’s, like Blogspot or WordPress. (3) Live it up on a mail­ing list with a pub­lic archive. (4) Go short-form on Twit­ter (wow, or maybe a com­peti­tor). (5) Social-net it on Face­book or G+. (6) Min­i­mize ef­fort on Tum­blr or what­ev­er. (7) Try a new mode with Branch, or (8) an even new­er one on Medi­um.

The words you’re read­ing are de­liv­ered via old-school blog tech and live per­ma­nent­ly at tbray.org; so I’m prob­a­bly non-neutral. Let’s start with a ques­tion. Why Write, Any­how?

Al­so I’m on Flickr, Twit­ter, and Google+.

Hav­ing said that, I think it’s im­por­tant that read­ers know who pays the per­son who’s writ­ing what they’re read­ing.

I run Google An­a­lyt­ics on on­go­ing, and it places cook­ies in your browser.

World’s richest woman Gina Rinehart is enduring a media firestorm over an article in which she takes the “jealous” middle class to task for “drinking, or smoking and socializing” rather than working to earn their own fortune.

What if she has a point? Steve Siebold, author of “How Rich People Think,” spent nearly three decades interviewing millionaires around the world to find out what separates them from everyone else. It had little to do with money itself, he told Business Insider. It was about their mentality. ”[The middle class] tells people to be happy with what they have,” he said. Average people think MONEY is the root of all evil. “The average person has been brainwashed to believe rich people are lucky or dishonest,” Siebold writes.
