    The point is simple; if a person writes an item that people want to read, they’ll race to the site.  For example, on Triond people wrote items that were getting 1 mill hits.  That means 1 million people came to read it.  That’s how a writing site makes money.   It has to get out there and get the views.

    Here is the quandary.

    I am not anti-moderation.   Unless one is a very good writer of professional standards, then the work should have some moderation.   However, the delay on this site is problematic.

    • We have ruined weather patterns in different parts of the world. We are having no rain in our country. We are damaging our nature and environment and it will be declared as unfit for living purposes in the near future if we do not improve the things. We must take proper steps in this connection if we want to secure this beautiful world.

    • Global warming is cause of human irresponsibility…in this peace and beauty world…peoples doing many negative things and also not scared of the god….so global warming is one of the way that god shows his anger on us and make us scared to him

    Over the years many writing sites have sprung up and ripped off the writers.  The Scam is fairly simple.

    • To be honest, having gained experience with various sites, I don’t know why it didn’t seem obvious to me from the beginning that certain sites would go belly up. Two sites in particular I can think of but won’t bother mentioning them by name because they are already gone and nobody cares any more. Live and learn. But there was one site that I really hated to see go. That was Squidoo. Even though the site was acquired by HUBPages, it’s just not the same. I really miss that site.

      • What happened to some sites, like Squidoo is that they didn’t know how to counter Google’s Panda/Penguin. Labelled content farms as was Hubpages they were unable to create some new paradigm.

        Wikinut stopped paying because of it, and Triond disappeared.

    niume is just a writing site that publishes right away.    So you can write there.  The more views you have the more you can earn.  It doesn’t pay right away, you need to earn $10.  You can take look…

    I was on a site once, which had 3 categories;  ‘staff writer’  which meant the person wrote well and their work was published immediately.   ‘writer’ wrote less well but only needed a quick scan, and ‘member’ whose work had to be read before publishing.

    • Well I believe that over-dependence on Google and Net is not very conducive.

      • Over dependence of course… but to read/hear and not have that normal human skepticism… and not check it out?

    • One of my brothers once told me something that I’ve never forgotten. He said: “You can read anything you want to read. But you don’t have to believe everything you read!” 🙂

      Yes. Some people need to recognize that not everything that is published is true.

      • That’s the key issue. You read something, check it out. It’s the famous story of Douglas Spearman. He’s a minor actor. He learned he had AIDs by reading his Wiki entry. He contacted the owner and the item was removed. But he pondered, how many people reading the ‘authority’ Wikipedia believed it.

    As the BBC has abandoned the reporting of the News and migrated to what can only be politely described as ‘Blah Blah’,  one tends to have this ‘white noise’ as opposed to actual words.

    Blah Blah consists of […]

    • Interesting how you describe the BBC News reports. My husband would rather watch the BBC. He thinks it’s better than the American news. That’s not saying much for our news in America. I have learned to listen to all news report with only one ear and hope that helps filter out the garbage.

      • Those of us who live or grew up in the ex-Colonies, (or colonies) always listened to the BBC. Once they gave you the news you needed to know because they were there. There were no Jamaicans at the Press Conference at the Whitehouse, or on the streets in Hungary.

        So we listen as we grew up learning to do. But, over the years, as the BBC has deteriorated, it is still better than the American news, but not by a mile.

    • If the speech is governed by language traditions and phonetic guidelines we can not find fault with their speech This is the most refined way of speaking a language.
      After this stage the actual damage will start. They research, they make alterations, move and copy other words from others in order to move freely in the society. Hence the language will be distorted, twisted, mingled, minced, and what not many styles spring out as per one’s own choice which they want others to follow. Here comes the trouble. It is nothing but forcing the opinion and style on others. This is not good. Really not good.
      I recollected the incident which happened in the university I have studied.
      It was a farewell party to the final year M.Sc students. We arranged and organized the party.
      A student from Satya Sai college came to the dais and has given a speech. The words he used, the expression he used everything was highly selected was a great effort he made throughout the night referring the dictionary. The effort he made could force some including our Professor to smile at the end of the speech. There was silent even after the completion of the speech as no one knows what he said and where did he stop.
      When I talked from the same dias there was good response from all the students and other colleagues. There was a big applaud as everybody could understand what did I speak and how did I express my feelings towards my seniors and gave them a farewell message. I have not used even a single word which could not be comprehended by any of the spectators and another professor

      The tone I used was in proportionate to the size of the Auditorium, the words were simple, there was no resounding, there was no resounding of voice or tone.

      Always speak in a language with a clear tone, using simple words that can be understandable by others. It is only then the speech will carry any effect on others.
      Otherwise, it is like speaking in Spanish before an Italian.

    • It is the way of talking in a kind of slangy/patwa which, for those who know it, means the chatters aren’t saying anything. It is just noise.
