Its still all about your data----protect it--own it!

As I watch the Bubble 2.0 go buy the change has been apparent in my online social life. I have actually got in touch with people I likely would not have and shared a lot of things with them. All though I am not hearing about a lot of people making a living from it except the advertisers and the people storing the data. My favorite TV channel is Current Tv which is a VC(viewer created) type news show catering to the next generation. Most of the content is suggested or created by viewers and then organized in a tv friendly format much like CNN in the early days.

My advise to anyone in this day and age is to not give up any of your publishing rights to anything or anyone unless you really don't ever want to see or use it again or be able to gain anything from your work. This includes "citizen journalist","Bands"."artists"...etc and any other entity that creates content or media in any form.

Just like with record labels and early bands there are many entities/corporations/scavengers watching and evaluating your data/media to make a profit off of it and then give you pennies on the dollar for it or get it for free which is what most would like to do.

Value yourself, your opinions and your creations because they are yours and yours alone.
