The power of the Internet and Social Media

[medwayjon]

A blogged a piece on the NHS recently.

Today, it has now had 11,218 unique views at the last count.

It is absolutely incredible how in a few hours people have shared the post, and it has been read so much.

The internet really is a powerful thing.

Im not going to plug my blog, as I dont like to talk politics without solicitation.

I would prefer to keep my political shizzle separate.

Dont want to fall out with people

 

[medwayjon]

The music I assume - not telling which one is my lad - or I might - may explain me a bit

In that case lets get a price drop on something useful and not shoes that get band in the winter.
Honestly I don't follow twitter, nor do I post much on LinkedIn ( some of the fan boy posts are ridiculous) and Facebook is just for posting rubbish on ... I really don't read blogs either I have no interest, I don't read many newspapers either, they are just opinion, I want facts so I can draw my own conclusions, I don't need people to do that for me. I guess I am not into social media.

I notice that we both use the word vocalist as opposed to singer .

Shouty music I call it. I like that kind of music except for the 'singing'. It cannot be good for the vocal chords either. Obviously a market though as there are lots of that type of band out there.

The singing is driven by the diaphragm and isn't 'normal' vocal chord singing.
