Well a guest speaker came into class on Monday. The guest speaker was the creator of Exit133.com, Derek Young! He talked about how his site first started which was when he wanted to keep his friends up to date about a health problem. He posted EVERYDAY, which I thought was amazing because I struggle to post stuff about things I've been GIVEN topics about. lol. I thought it was completely surreal that he just nonchalantly said that he quit his job! I would be freaking out if I quit my job but Mr. Young had gotten advertisers for his site so maybe they'll keep him funded?
I also thought it was cool that through his site he made so many acquaintances and friends through the site and that he is wholly involved in his city through his site. I think its cool that he loves his town so much.
He built a complete community that expanded and expanded to include other people of like minds. That was simply amazing and an ideal I think...
“A healthy social life is found only, when in the mirror of each soul the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the whole community the virtue of each one is living”
