The tao of websites

Once you get a website done, you wonder if all your work will actually MEAN something. I came up with my own idea of letting people decide which "things" in their life they love/hate. I never had the forethought I thought I had. Sure I was as eager as ever to start my own site. YES, I had a great idea behind my site! The things is that many of us wonder is, how do you get people to participate, not just visit you site? Of course I added my site to Digg.com and Mixx.com. The Internet is VAST! I am sure there are some feed promoters I never even heard of before. So far I have just pretty much stuck with good old Google.com. Their feed reader is quite good. I use Blogger an d feed Burner because they are free and they are awesome! I started to look at Typepad and back up faster than a white boy making a wrong turn into the hood. PAY for something that is otherwise FREE? Hell no! I am sure after they take your money they say, "we have your best interest in mind when it come to promoting your site!" What crap! I HAVE MY BEST INTERESTS IN MIND, NOT THEM! If you live close to NYC, you can understand how visual Americans are. Just look at all the Ad of beautiful people seemingly gazing at you high upon their billboard thrones. Somehow it makes me think of American Idol.
How utterly moronic that show really is. I break out in hives and vomit when that show comes on... I guess I am too smart for that garbage. Anyway getting back to websites. My point is, do websites have to be visual just to get people to write something? Let's face it, we live ion a fuel injected society. So how do you make a website, "fuel injected?" What do you guys think? I see sooo many brainless porn sites, I wonder if that is all Americans want? Porn along with cellphones, seem to be a communication breakdown these days. "Hey guys now you can masturbate at home and then get pissed you aren't dating anyone. Hey now, what a great deal! NOT!!" Part of the problems is that Americans have LOST the art of conversation, I think. Stone cold, sober communication. Gone, see ya, later, so longggg! What the hell is happening to our attention SPANS????
If I took a nude image of someone, would THAT make people want to visit? Probably! So my final thought are with you dear blogger, why don't you TELL ME what YOU think makes a great website? Is it images or content that moves your meter? Give me thebestandworstofthings.com, ok?
