<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vou ter que admitir. Até pouco tempo eu só usava Jango (<a href="http://www.jango.com">www.jango.com</a>) para ouvir musicas na internet. É como se fosse uma estação de radio onde você escolhe o tipo de musica que toca, contudo não pode escolher uma musica especifica pra tocar. O que você pode fazer é pular uma música, parar ela, escolher para ela tocar muito na sua estação ou nunca tocar de novo. Mas agora descobri um novo site. Blip (<a href="http://www.blip.fm">www.blip.fm</a>) é um site bem parecido com o Jango, mas com algumas características diferentes. No Blip você é DJ. Você é quem escolhe que musicas ouvir e quando não escolhe, você ouve as estações de pessoas com gosto musical parecido ao seu. Uma coisa bem legal deste site é a sua integração com redes sociais com Twitter. Ao criar o seu “perfil de DJ” eles pedem seu Username do Twitter e senha para que as pessoas que te seguem no twitter podem te seguir e ouvir suas musicas no Blip. Além disto quando você escolhe uma musica para tocar você pode promover ela escrevendo um texto que acabará aparecendo tanto no seu Perfil do Blip quanto no seu Twitter. De certo jeito você se torna  publicitário de si mesmo.  Eu pessoalmente gostei mais do Blip do que o Jango, mas isto depende de cada pessoa. Se alguém quiser me seguir no Blip você pode ir pra <a href="http://blip.fm/RafaelHalpern">http://blip.fm/RafaelHalpern</a> mas acho que não vou usar muito não. Afinal, tenho Itunes.  Para mais informações sobre Blip Veja o Blog deles: <a href="http://blog.blip.fm/">http://blog.blip.fm/</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I am grateful for family*. Without them. Well, I just don&#8217;t know.<br />
It has been a rough couple months for me and they help keep me going when I don&#8217;t want to.</p>
<p>I am grateful for friends. Without them I would never laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. Friends help remind you that you are okay too. We all need such reminders. And seriously, D-OC, you continue to amaze me. You always support me, hug me, love me, no matter what. I cannot thank you all enough or properly. Thank you so much for just being there.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I am grateful for my cat. He is always there, usually when I don&#8217;t want  him to be. He is all I have though. He may love me only because I feed him but he doesn&#8217;t judge me.</p>
<p>I am indebted to my boss and being grateful for her doesn&#8217;t even begin to touch the tip of the iceberg. She has melted and flowed into my life in so many ways. I will always be thankful for her.</p>
<p>I am grateful for being able to work from home. To be able to work in whatever I feel like wearing that day, or not. To be able to distract myself with chores. To be able to take a break when I Need to or Have to. To not have inquiring minds or gossipy mouths around. To schedule my needs over my hours.</p>
<p>I am grateful for the moments I can enjoy a real meal, afford good food, few and far between opportunities arise but I savor every second, every bite.</p>
<p>I am grateful for good TV, movies and books that allow me to retreat to another world if for just a moment.</p>
<p>Every day I am thankful. Every day I thank God; for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whatever life may throw at me, whatever lies ahead, whatever has happened has happened. I am thankful. Every. Day.</p>
<p><a href="http://randomlycapitalized.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/happythanksgiving.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-795" title="Happy Thanksgiving" src="http://randomlycapitalized.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/happythanksgiving-e1259211194218.jpg?w=300" alt="Happy Thanksgiving" width="300" height="153" /></a>Too cute. Had to add. Sorry too squarely orange and happily dancing whatever you are&#8230;I Am eating turkey.</p>
<p>*My sister-in-law is in the hospital awaiting surgery for an infection at the surgery site from her back surgery not too long ago. Keep her and my sister in your prayers today. Thank you.**</p>
<p>**Another update. No surgery. Doctors found only an infection, no abscess which is Good news. She is still in the hospital, recovering from the &#8220;inspection&#8221; and awaiting lab results. Thank you for all of your well wishes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Healthcare communications and social media.</p>
<p>Yeah, I had no clue either. Until I finally jumped on the bandwagon. Took me a bit to get used to losing out on seven characters. Using the hashtag <a title="Healthcare Communications and Social Media" href="http://www.healthsocmed.com/" target="_blank">#hcsm</a> is important. That&#8217;s five characters, down to 135. I think it&#8217;s smart, thanks <a title="Jen Dyer MD, MPH on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/EndoGoddess" target="_blank">@EndoGoddess</a> <em>(I happen to follow her, been lurking/watching her tweet although it may have been someone else who started that part of it)</em>, to add the topic number before you answer. Usually three topics occur; T1, T2, T3. Two more characters. 133 character conversations. It&#8217;s hard!<br />
Here is a link to an <a title="FAQ: The #HCSM Twitter Conversation Community" href="http://www.healthsocmed.com/content/faq-hcsm-twitter-conversation-community" target="_blank">FAQ</a> page.</p>
<p>So what is this #hcsm all about you ask? Let&#8217;s begin with someone who impresses me daily.</p>
<p>Every Sunday at 8pm Central, <a title="Dana Lewis on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/danamlewis" target="_blank">Dana Lewis</a>, <a title="Phil Baumann Online: Interview with Dana Lewis" href="http://philbaumann.com/2009/11/10/an-interview-with-hcsm-founder-danamlewis/" target="_blank">student</a> of the University of Alabama, #hcsm <a title="New/Digital Media + Health = ?" href="http://pulseandsignal.com/2009/11/09/newdigital-media-health/" target="_blank">moderator</a>, perfectionist and funny woman extraordinare leads us down the Twitter interaction train with a topic. Here is some more <a title="New/Digital Media + Health = ?" href="http://pulseandsignal.com/2009/11/09/newdigital-media-health/" target="_blank">information</a> about #hcsm from Dana:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.healthsocmed.com/" target="_blank">&#8220;#hcsm</a>, or healthcare communications &#38; social media, is <a href="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2009/01/20/explore-the-twitter-hashtag/" target="_blank">a hashtag conversation</a> that started in January 2009 that has evolved into a large community on Twitter. Using the 140-character messages to enable the conversation, anyone with an interest in health communications can engage in an informative discussion about a wide variety of topics.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I enjoyed the interaction between some of the participants via this medium. It&#8217;s great to read others perspectives and learn from one another. Each person has a different experience in which to contribute to the overall discussion.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;One of the benefits of this medium being “new” and “emerging” is that it is flexible and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source" target="_blank">open-sourced</a>. Meaning, we have the power and opportunity to influence the way we will use it for years to come. This is why I believe #hcsm is important; it gives #hcsm participants &#38; contributors the opportunity to make waves &#38; share their innovative insights with everyone.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It is possible to say after an hour just maybe I got a handle on this type of interaction. I was RTed. Sweet. I gained new followers. Awesome. Really I just got my patient point of view out there. Nothing wrong with that. I&#8217;ve never been one to hold back.</p>
<p>Thank you Dana. You are doing Great work and will continue to do so.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Czyli dobry objaw rozwoju tego rodzaju społeczności.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Blip.pl objął patronat medialny nad Międzynarodowym Festiwalem Kryminału Wrocław 2009.</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://drogadosukcesu.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/blip.jpg" alt="blip" /></p>
<p>Międzynarodowy Festiwal Kryminału Wrocław 2009 rozpocznie się w sobotę- 28 listopada i potrwa do czwartku – 3 grudnia.</p>
<p>W tym roku organizację imprezy przejął Wrocław. Najważniejszą zmianą po przeniesieniu z Krakowa jest wprowadzenie formuły międzynarodowej. Takie działanie pozwoliło zaprosić znanych polskich i zagranicznych autorów, jak: Marek Krajewski, Gaja Grzegorzewska, Jens Lapidus, Leena Lehtolainen, Bo Lundin. Kolejną nowością jest wysokość Nagrody Wielkiego Kalibru. Prezydent  Miasta Wrocławia, Rafał Dutkiewicz, przeznaczył na ten cel 25 tysięcy złotych. </p>
<p>Festiwal zapowiada się naprawdę imponująco. To prawdziwa gratka dla wielbicieli kryminałów. W programie wydarzenia nie zabraknie pokazów filmowych, spotkań autorskich i wielu innych atrakcji.</p>
<p>Międzynarodowy Festiwal Kryminału Wrocław 2009 został objęty patronatem przez serwis mikroblogowy Blip.pl. Dla imprezy został założony profil (festiwalkryminalu.blip.pl), w którym znaleźć można bieżące informacje, m.in. program, aktualności, a także relacje na żywo z przebiegu Festiwalu.  </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Not that I didn&#8217;t know, I did. I do. I&#8217;ve always known.</p>
<p>Recently though, I was reminded. I needed that reminder. I can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t or shouldn&#8217;t feel bad about it either. I am doing my best to simply do what I Have to do because I Know.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve missed you something fierce. All the goodness you bring has eluded me for one too many months now. I&#8217;ve missed you, a lot. Maybe in a way you missed me too.</p>
<p><!--more So what is it I Know?&#62;--></p>
<p>Now that I know because of the reminder you gave me, we will work, once again, on not being missed. I can&#8217;t promise you anything because you never have. That&#8217;s ok, I understand. I think you understand too.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve joked about it many times. I probably always will. It&#8217;s hard not to considering how much of you I don&#8217;t seem to get. You do realize I need you, right? Ok, maybe you don&#8217;t need me but without me there, doing what I Know, it&#8217;s kind of pointless. Wouldn&#8217;t you say?</p>
<p>I wish I could say we have come to an understanding but I think I need to put more effort into this. You are aware that I am trying, right? Maybe I shouldn&#8217;t ask you so many questions. That is one area I Know I need to work on. Of course you know all about it. When the time comes I tend to not give in. I tend to fight it. Because you have eluded me for so long, if I am being honest here I should say for most of my life, I just gave up. I don&#8217;t want to give up anymore. I don&#8217;t want to fight it. I certainly don&#8217;t want to read into it either.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve missed you. A lot.</p>
<p>From now on I will try to listen. I can promise you That. I Will listen. So when I do, help a woman out. Mkay? Alright.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-692" title="Sleep, oh beautiful sleep, where art thou?" src="http://randomlycapitalized.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/sleep-256-e1258897753180.png" alt="Sleep" width="128" height="128" />Here&#8217;s to more sleep.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello All friends …</p>
<p>I hope … umm no, I’m sure you are having best in every aspect of your life …. hey don’t think i’m again going to tell you something about <a href="http://aasims.wordpress.com/category/tutorials/aspect-oriented-programming/">aspect oriented programming</a> … no, not at all at this time … though I know it’s third part is pending but don’t think I’ve forgotten … it will surely there in next couple of days …<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-627" title="google-wave-logo" src="http://aasims.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/google-wave-logo.png" alt="google-wave-logo" width="256" height="256" /></p>
<p>Again hat’s off for Google … From last 2 days, I’m exploring Google Waves, a new product from Google … and now at this time,  my level of “fan to Google Products” has increased to some more points … Google Wave is probably the most exciting product announcement from Google since Gmail. Someone gave really good definition of google wave … as<em> take Twitter, Gmail, Instant Messenger, Flickr, and Google Docs. Pour them into a blender; stir in robots and open the whole thing up to developers to the mix and start blending. You might have something like Google Wave</em> .. interesting han … yes indeed it is ..</p>
<p>Google Wave was introduced at the Google I/O developer&#8217;s conference in 2009. Google Wave is an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration. A wave can be both a conversation<br />
and a document where people can discuss and work together using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.</p>
<p>In Google Waves, people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more. It is a <strong>shared platform.</strong> Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/v_UyVmITiYQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/v_UyVmITiYQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<h2><strong>Some Features of Google Waves</strong></h2>
<h3>Real Time Conversation among many people at at time</h3>
<p>People can talk simultaneously, can share their and ideas suggestions in real time with with many others at a time. You can reply to any part of the conversation any at point. Other participant can see what you are typing as you type rather just getting a message &#8220;My ABC is typing&#8230;&#8221; All of your friend can join a single thread of conversation (infact a wave) to share their ideas .. hence make it a real time group discussion.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-645" src="http://aasims.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/untitled.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="637" /></p>
<h3>Organizing events</h3>
<p>Keep a single copy of ideas, suggested itinerary, menu and RSVPs, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://wave.google.com/help/wave/images/organizing_events.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<h3>Group projects</h3>
<h3><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;">Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.</span></h3>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://wave.google.com/help/wave/images/group_report.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<h3><strong>Photo sharing</strong></h3>
<h3><strong><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;">Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.</span></strong></h3>
<p><strong><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://wave.google.com/help/wave/images/photosharing.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><br />
</span></strong></p>
<h3>Meeting notes</h3>
<h3><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;">Prepare a meeting agenda together, share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page. Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback.</span></h3>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://wave.google.com/help/wave/images/meeting_notes.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><br />
</span></p>
<h3>Brainstorming</h3>
<h3><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;">Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm &#8211; live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discuss and then work together to distill down to the good ideas.</span></h3>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://wave.google.com/help/wave/images/brainstorming.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="400" /><br />
</span></p>
<h3>Interactive games</h3>
<h3><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;">Add a gadget to a wave to play live interactive games with your friends (we&#8217;re hooked on Sudoku!). See everyone&#8217;s moves as they make them in a fast-paced game or take a break and come back later.</span></h3>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><br />

</span></p>
<h2>Basic Concepts in Wave</h2>
<p>A <strong>wave </strong>is an entire conversation on Google Wave. Think of it like a large back and forth thread with one or more people in a discussion forum or through an email conversation.</p>
<p>A <strong>wavelet </strong>is a smaller branch of conversation spawned from a large wave. This is like the smaller group of party-goers having a private conversation in the kitchen while everyone else hangs out in the living room. That same group could later rejoin the larger wave.</p>
<p>A <strong>blip </strong>is the smallest unit of conversation. Think of a blip as a single email or a single instant message.</p>
<p>Google Wave is probably a next generation email. <span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Google Wave is a communication system, just like email or instant messaging. Only it combines these methods of communicating and adds a few more.</span></p>
<h2>Some Keyboard Shortcuts I found Usefull</h2>
<p>while exploring waves, i found some keyboards shortcut keys that makes wave easy to use ..</p>
<ul>
<li>Shift+Enter will submit a reply and start a new reply.</li>
<li>CTRL+Enter will indent a reply</li>
<li>Home and End take you to the beginning/end of a Wave</li>
<li>Tab or Spacebar &#8220;jump&#8221; to the next unread &#8216;blip&#8217; below (a blip is a message)</li>
<li>Press Shift+Spacebar to move up to see new blips/messages (as opposed to going to the top of the Wave and pressing the spacebar)</li>
<li>CTRL + click on Wave opens up a Wave in a new panel (hold down CTRL and the Wave)</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Mikroblogowy temat mnie nie chce opuścić. Właściwie to dobrze, bo znaczy to, że wart jest uwagi. Wypada poza tym prostować własne konkluzje (nawet z radością) kiedy trafiają do głowy argumenty rozsądne. Przyznaję zatem, że przemyślałem sobie owe argumenty i stwierdzam co następuje:</p>
<p>- mikroblogi służą z założenia do krótkich w formie informacji o stanie/aktywności piszącego.<br />
Choć prawdą jest, że często za ów stan czy aktywność piszący uznaje wymianę zdań z innymi piszącymi. Wina to jednak piszących, nie mikroblogów. Racja.</p>
<p>- mikroblogi nie są narzędziem komunikacji, ale dają taką funkcjonalność, poniekąd jako formę komentarza.<br />
Choć prawdą jest, że możliwość ta przez niektórych używana jest jako zamiennik komunikatorów, często wręcz puliptowo-odnośnikowo, co znakomicie zaciemnia. Wina to jednak ciągoty do gadulstwa publicznego, nie mikroblogów. Racja.</p>
<p>- mikroblogi służą za multimedialną tablicę ogłoszeń, na której dzielisz się z innymi linkiem do ciekawej galerii, muzyki czy strony.<br />
Choć prawdą jest, że często traktowane są jak galeria, szafa grająca lub newsroom. Wina to jednak ponownie nadmiernej czasem a czasem nachalnej ekspresji piszących, nie mikroblogów. Racja.</p>
<p>Po trzykroć zatem racja.</p>
<p>Z czystym sumieniem teraz już stwierdzić mogę, że w tym świetle nawet tak zrzędliwy sceptyk jak ja może poczuć się <em>targetem</em> jeśli tylko nie zapomni do czego mikroblog naprawdę służy a czego się po nim spodziewać na pewno nie można. I jeśli pogodzi się z faktem (tu zdania nie zmieniłem), że informacyjna sieczkarnia-galopka wkracza wszędzie i nie da się jej uniknąć, trzeba tylko umieć się jej przeciwstawić.<br />
Innymi słowy &#8211; świętej wojny nie będzie a kiedy od zgiełku odsapnę i nastrój stosowny powezmę możliwe, że znów się z mikroideą przeproszę. Póki co jednak &#8211; przy całej, niekłamanej wdzięczności i szacunku dla przekonujących &#8211; pozostanę przy większych wersjach.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Na początek założenie jedno, ważne, które odpowiednio mocno musi zostać podkreślone: nie jestem nawe]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Na początek założenie jedno, ważne, które odpowiednio mocno musi zostać podkreślone: nie jestem nawet w ułamku przeciwnikiem mikroblogów!</p>
<p>Dlaczego zatem w moim przypadku się nie sprawdziły?</p>
<p>Ano przede wszystkim  dlatego, że jestem wielkim wrogiem sztucznego pośpiechu i niedbałości komunikacyjnej. Zalewu bannerów, dżingli, migawek, skrótów od skrótów, nagłówków (tych bez treści) i ulotkowania ecyklopedycznego.<br />
Tak &#8211; tego byłem, jestem i pozostanę wrogiem. I będę przed tym uciekał póki mogę.<br />
Nie zaakceptuję galopującego spłycania informacji, propagowania nierzetelności przekazu i nieuzasadnionej telegraficzności. Nie umiem przeliczać &#8220;czasu antenowego&#8221; i nie chcę się tego uczyć. Lubię oglądać filmy zamiast ich <em>&#8220;teaserów&#8221;</em>, słuchać muzyki do ostatniej nuty, czytać książki a nie ich streszczenia, oglądać mecze a nie skróty.<br />
Są dziedziny, w których informacja musi być przekazywana szybko, ale nawet tam zawsze ważniejsza pozostanie treść. ZAWSZE! Nawet najszybciej przekazany skrót pozostanie skrótem tylko. Często przy tym przekłamanym i zmanipulowanym.  Tego nie lubię i nie chcę. Bez dbałości o rzetelność nie będzie w końcu co skracać.</p>
<p>Podkreślę ponownie &#8211; wcale nie uważam, że mikroblogi same w sobie takie są. Z całą pewnością też nie uważam, że z myślą o tym zostały stworzone.<br />
Jednak mimowolnie zarażają swoich użytkowników (a przynajmniej niektórych z nich) ową ideą informacyjnej sieczkarni-galopki.</p>
<p>Nie jestem <em>targetem</em> &#8211; jak to zmyślnie określa nomowowa marketingowa. Nie mam też tyle czasu, żeby cały czas śledzić co się dzieje np. na blipowym kokpicie. Im więcej ludzi chciałbym obserwować tym większy stworzy się chaos. Jeśli coś przeoczę, stracę godziny na przeszukiwaniu archiwum. Przerzuciłem się zatem na jabbera. Ten jednak co i rusz alarmuje mnie i moje mozolnie konstruowane skupienie, żeby poinformować mnie np. o wpisie, który właśnie cytuje inny wpis, który właśnie cytuje inny a ten jeszcze inny, który brzmi mniej więcej tak: &#8220;<em>[blip] To po co tam poszliście?</em>&#8221; &#8211; i mimo woli biorę udział w rozmowie, którą nie jestem zainteresowany.</p>
<p>Zapytałem więc sam siebie &#8211; dlaczego nie RSS? Nagłówki mi nie uciekają, poza tym przede wszystkim są! Dzięki nim jednym rzutem oka mogę stwierdzić czy chcę przyjąć tę porcję informacji czy nie. Pod nimi też zazwyczaj kryje się prawdziwa treść, nie taka, która musiała się zmieścić w 160-ciu znakach&#8230; i olać interpunkcję.</p>
<p>Nie jestem targetem.  Bo kiedy chcę komuś zostawić informację to wolę mieć pewność, że ją przeczyta i nie przeoczy w natłoku gastrofaz i innych spamo-floodo-foto-serii. Adresat, jeśli jest mikroblogerem (!) to z całą pewnością używa też jakiegoś komunikatora, e-maila, że o telefonie nie wspomnę. Informacja tam dotrze i grzecznie poczeka na przeczytanie. Nie da się zepchnąć w historię.<br />
Oczywiście nie uzyskam efektu przekazu międzywierszowego, skierowanego do innych obserwujących. Ale wydaje się, że wyrosłem z takiej potrzeby &#8211; dlatego znów zamantruję: nie jestem targetem.<br />
Trzymając się jeszcze przez chwilę wątku komunikacyjnego wypada wspomnieć o jednej jeszcze rzeczy. Otóż uwielbiam ludzi, którzy opanowali trudną sztukę władania krótką formą. Jak to jednak z trudnymi sztukami bywa, kiedy się ich nie opanuje dostatecznie dobrze a próbuje nimi władać &#8211; efekt zazwyczaj jest żałosny. Tym bardziej, gdy &#8211; o dziwo &#8211; wartością przestaje być jakość a zaczyna być ilość.</p>
<p>Reasumując:<br />
Jeśli mikroblog to prawie komunikator &#8211; wolę komunikator. Jeśli prawie blog &#8211; wolę blog. Jeśli prawie RSS &#8211; wolę RSS. Jeśli prawie elitarna społecznościówka &#8211; nie aspiruję.<br />
Jedno jest pewne &#8211; jest tam cała masa wspaniałych, wartościowych ludzi. Sukcesywnie jednak zalewana masą pozostałą&#8230; oczywiście szybko i w skrócie.</p>
<p>Ot i cała prawda o moim z ideą mikro rozstaniu.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Prawda o nas samych jest ukryta w naszych statusach.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://blip.pl">Blip</a>, <a href="http://spinacz.pl">Spinacz</a> i <a href="flaker.pl">Flaker</a> to cztery serwisy mikroblogowe, z którymi mam coś wspólnego.</p>
<p>Co to jest?</p>
<p>Sa to serisy mikroblogowe, w których możemy pisać własnego mikrobloga. Oczywiście nie jest to zwykły blog, taki jak ten. Jest to miejsce, gdzie można wpisać, co aktualnie się robi, przesłać link czy obrazek. Można też wysyłać wiadomości innym użytkownikom.</p>
<p>Do czego służy?</p>
<p>W założeniu mikroblogi miały ułatwić kontakt z rodziną i przyjaciółmi. W tej chwili zastąpiły niegdyś bardzo popularne czaty. W takich serwisach są również tagi, czyli słowa kluczowe na które można pogadać.</p>
<p>Co tam wpisujemy?</p>
<p>Zazwyczaj informacje, co robimy. Jest to chyba mimo wszystko najpopularniejsze zastosowanie stron tego typu. Niektórzy lubią sobie też pospamować, np. linkami do swoich stron. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Czy warto?</p>
<p>Warto używać mikroblogów. Jesto to forma komunikacji, która na pewno może zastąpić komunikatory. Jest przystosowana do urządzeń mobilnych, więc można powiedzieć, że mikroblogi zostały zaplanowane nie tylko na teraźniejszość, ale i na przyszłość.</p>
<p>PS. Jak Wam się podoba nowy blog?</p>

</a>In honor of D-blog Day I wanted to bring more attention to a great effort put together in the beginning of October by Team WDD USA: <a title="Manny on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/askmanny" target="_blank">Manny</a> of <a title="TuDiabetes" href="http://tudiabetes.com/" target="_blank">TuDiabetes</a> and <a title="David on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/diabetesdaily" target="_blank">David</a> of <a title="DiabetesDaily" href="http://www.diabetesdaily.com/" target="_blank">DiabetesDaily</a>. Team WDD USA created the <a title="World Diabetes Day USA" href="http://www.wddusa.org/" target="_blank">World Diabetes Day USA</a> website. They asked those amongst the Dtribe to help bring more awareness about <a title="WDD.org" href="http://www.worlddiabetesday.org/" target="_blank">World Diabetes Day</a> and Diabetes to the US.</p>
<p><a title="WDD USA Blog" href="http://www.wddusa.org/blog/" target="_blank">Posts</a> have been submitted, the <a title="Pledge to Promote WDD" href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/wddusa" target="_blank">petition</a> continues to get signed, there&#8217;s a newsletter, a following on <a title="WDD USA on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/wddusa" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and the <a title="WDD Champions" href="http://www.wddusa.org/champions/" target="_blank">Champions</a> list continues to grow each week. The D-OC is full of wonderful people putting themselves out there, bringing Diabetes awareness to the US as much as possible. Whether it&#8217;s via the WDD USA website, their own website or blog or Twitter &#8211; Diabetes awareness is all over the interwebs this month.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We are all champions. Go us. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><!--more Here's what I wrote...--></p>
<p><em>Here is what I wrote for the <a title="WDD USA Blog" href="http://www.wddusa.org/2009/11/top-7-things-everyone-should-know-about-diabetes.php" target="_blank">World Diabetes Day USA website</a>:</em></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#463055;"><em>Top 7 things everyone should know about Diabetes:</em></span><br />
</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>1) Your Diabetes may vary.</strong><br />
Each body is different. We react to and deal with every aspect of life differently. No one way is right or wrong. This disease is about trial and error. Some foods are absorbed, digested differently in each person. This is a huge consideration when it comes to managing Diabetes. I recently told my Endocrinologist that if it weren’t for carbs I would be in great health but I do need to eat as we all do.</p>
<p><strong>2) What you read, see and/or hear is not how it “really or usually” is.</strong><br />
The norm in the media has it quite wrong most of the time. There is more to Diabetes than just…..Diabetes. There are different Types: I, II, LADA, Gestational. There are a number of reasons why someone may or may not get this disease and a plethora of unknowns. This disease is very individual. It has a mind of it’s own and it is far from prejudice. There is no simple regiment that fits all. If you have questions, there are plenty of accurate resources out there to guide you. <a title="TuDiabetes" href="http://tudiabetes.com/" target="_blank">TuDiabetes</a>, <a title="DiabetesMine" href="http://www.diabetesmine.com/" target="_blank">DiabetesMine</a>, <a title="DiabetesDaily" href="http://www.diabetesdaily.com/" target="_blank">DiabetesDaily</a> and <a title="The Diabetes Resource" href="http://www.thediabetesresource.com/" target="_blank">The Diabetes Resource</a> are great places to start.</p>
<p><strong>3) No set formula of any treatment will work for all.</strong><br />
For Type 1 Diabetes, insulin is a treatment, not a cure. Just because someone needs insulin, this does not make him or her bad or worse off. It means just that; they need insulin. Here’s the thing many don’t seem to know: Every body needs insulin. Insulin is a necessary hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use glucose for energy. Cells cannot utilize glucose without insulin. As to why some produce it fine their whole lives and others don’t – if researchers really knew, maybe a cure would be closer than I believe it ever will be.</p>
<p><strong>4) We all react and deal with Diabetes differently.</strong><br />
Diabetes is not just about a meal plan, watching/counting carbs, doing a blood test, taking insulin…it is so much more. There is a physical and mental toll that needs to be taken into consideration. See 1.</p>
<p><strong>5) Diabetes is progressive.</strong><br />
It changes with you as you get older – symptoms change, sensitivity changes, need for insulin amount changes, medication needs etc change. The constant in Diabetes is change. Those who live with the disease do their best each and every moment of every day. Going with the flow, taking one blood sugar level at a time is key to balancing your management.</p>
<p><strong>6) Management of Diabetes is every minute of every day.</strong><br />
You can’t just stop doing blood tests, taking medication or taking into account practically every move you make. There is no vacation from Diabetes. No break. It is everyday, all day. There are so many variables and factors that contribute to the management of this disease. First is your blood sugar level, what are you doing, what do you think you will be doing, what are thinking about eating, don’t forget to count carbs, factor in the grams of fat too, exercise in the near future maybe, are you tired or energetic today, are you coming down with an infection or cold. It is never ending, every day.</p>
<p><strong>7) Yes. Yes I can eat that.</strong><br />
Each person is entitled to eat whatever, whenever they want. How is someone with Diabetes different? They aren’t. They just have to pay a bit more attention. We can eat the same things as the next person. Even candy, sweets or sugary stuff. Type 1’s count carbs in order to administer the correct amount of insulin. Most all food has a carb count. We factor it in, do the amount of insulin that works for us and get on with our day.</p>
<p>All in all, the constant in Diabetes is change. There is no cure. In the meantime, bringing awareness to such a misunderstood and individual disease is so very important. World Diabetes Day is November 14th, every year. This is an international effort to bring awareness and to educate. Do your part by learning what you can and telling others.</p>
