Lately I’ve seen two trends in technology that I’d like to speculate on. By speculate, I mean “rant on them and their career implications” and see what you have to say.
The two trends?
Youtube, Lulu.com, BlogTalkRadio, and many more websites and services out there are throwing down a challenge. It's not apparent, but in time I'm betting it'll become moreso.
It's a challenge to all those people who say "I can do better."
Think you can make a better music video? Book? Web page? Think you can sell your art better or sell your crafts better?
From Etsy to Smashwords, the tools are out there that, the next time someone says they can do better with some creative endeavor, they have the opportunity to put their money where there mouth is. There's no reason not to publish a book or sell cosplay materials online, because there's many ways to do it.
