It must be horrible to have said something smart, maybe even insightful, once, and be labeled for life as a visionary, or a pundit, or some other similar insult.

Consider Clay Shirky's comments `on this article <http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/10/health/views/seeing-social-media-as-adolescent-portal-more-than-pitfall.html>`_. It's absolute nonsense, based on random guessing.

I promise this: this blog will have no insight on anything as long as I write it. I couldn't handle the pressure.
