Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator
On finding light in darkness, knowing chances and the ownership of life
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

Crazy Prediction: Facebook Live Set to Take On YouTube, Hulu and UStream
So here’s a crazy prediction for your Thursday morning. Last week, Facebook officially announced their Facebook Live app which is their own little way of showing off all the hipsters that roll through their offices and as a way of updating users about the behind-the-scenes doings at Facebook in all its live-streaming glory. You can go and check it out here.
I could be reading way too much into this, but I’m going to be interested in seeing how this evolves. This could be the beginning of Facebook’s take into live user-streaming video content. Instead of having all their users leave the site to record their “hauler” videos on YouTube and UStream, Facebook Live could allow them to record and interact with their friends and fans directly on Facebook’s site. It could go even deeper to take on such services like Hulu and actually stream live TV right to the web. That would be cool.
Just my 2 cents. Am I taking this prediction too far? Let me know in the comments below.
Working and Managing Through Interruptions from Jason Fried of 37Signals
37Signals founder and author of Rework Jason Fried has created a video about his management style when it comes to communication management. He explains the benefits of using passive communication tools such as web chat and IMing rather than constantly calling or knocking on people’s doors. This could be some good tips if you are a company manager. via Pulse2
