    Tuning and sculpting social sharings
    Internet and social networking its the realm of "everything is possible".

    Human limits and a vast "stereotyping rules" design constraints are driving away the vast amount of users from the really interesting core of this globally wide social experience - trying to attain all possibilities of individually and collectively trying to expand the use of the existing tools and the development of new ones, as well as social environmental experiences to real paradigm change live transformations.

    But, nowadays it is really not Utopian to think that you can really induce true changes in the world, while calmly working from your home.

    The question lies on the multiple "How's". How can you manage to do that, to induce real shifts and changes?

    In my opinion, the central issue lies not in the messages you build and deliver (the easy difficult part), bu instead in devising ways of effectively tune in and improve the rates on a clear understanding of the messages (thats the really difficult part)...

    When I speak about a true understanding, I mean the kind of deep understanding that leads you to take action and really engage in one or several social change projects.

    That, most certainly has to be done without ruining one of the most powerful and beautiful human traits, the gift of individually self extract particular meanings or even construct your own meaning from the root sources that you are reading and decoding.

    A real change must blossom from real actors (in the sense of actively engaging in true actions driven to make a sustainable difference) and not from a big mass hurdle of followers, (the only thing a hurdle of sheep ever wants is a lot of more food, grass and water - more of the same as it ever was...).

    True meaningful efforts must take this in to account - the utmost importance relies on the true and clear deep understanding of the social change clues you are trying to design...

    And every contribution is welcome, because in the vast and wealthy realm of "social system status quo keepers" huge amount of resources are invested in studying and designing ways of manipulating social perception and spreading social conditioned ways of behaving and measuring and valuing human success and achievements in this world, witch are generally very far away of global human happiness values... The choice is always yours, some say...
