Bis and Bat

Social media by nature is useless if only one person uses it (because who are you being social with?). We are just beginning to understand it. Most of our readers are still readers of Newsletters and Web sites and even some Newspapers. This is much different and it will take awhile.

"Nothing ever built arose to touch the skies unless some person dreamed that it should, some person believed that it could and some person willed that it must."

Not many in town have understood it but there seems to be an under current of belief in the West. Though there are many that still believe we are paparazzi, and we drop those like a hot potato. We will concentrate on those that we can help.

There are alternative ways of displaying your e-mail address while making it hard for spambots to harvest it. Most robot searches are made to spot @ and of course the .com - 99% of the time they have a valid email address. If you must provide contact information, try writing it out in creative ways such as mine, nikaawa at outlook dot com. An even better method is using an image picture of your e-mail address.

What does the average reader want?

First, of course is any information that may help in our understanding of dancing. And there is no way that one person can do that. Two? of course not. There are too many different view points out there and we can be lucky if we get a few to share in our publications.

Second, as social media, they would like to know what is happening in our dance world. It is very diverse. Your viewpoint on the same function from one corner of the ballroom is much different than the view point from the opposite corner of the dance floor.

Third, of course is the photos. And by that we mean "few" not thousands. And a photo taken by one person is his/her viewpoint. Three cameras out there and three different sets of pictures and every occasion is a different thing. The entire enchilada is social media, and blogging, though moving in that direction, is not there yet.
