Whisper

I have received some constructive criticism and I would like any other feedback that you might have. Thank you Indiana Jim for your honest appraisal.

Someone (Jim) asked me why I whisper everything.

I told them that I am naturally shy, but if you also think that I tend to whisper please let me know. I will work hard to improve.

Also if you have any other feedback on quality of the podcast please let me know.

And, yes I will try to project my voice more.


By the way in case you think that I am not being serious here, I really do like to get feedback about quality, the stories, my treatment of the stories and anything or everything else.

If you think by chance that the podcast stinks tell me so. If you think you have been treated unfairly because I put your story last, tell me so. In all seriousness I take all feedback and welcome it with open arms. Please feel free to leave a comment, drop me an e-mail or even leave voice feed back by recording your thoughts and send them in an e-mail and I will play them on the next show so long as they are clean.

Thank you again for sticking with me and my whispering.

By the way if you are not listening to Indiana Jim, What exactly are you waiting for. :) After all he did play the Great Hites Promo the other day.

Facebook TOS

If you were thinking of joining Facebook to show off your work, you need to very carefully read the Terms of Service agreement. They have basically said that anything you post is theirs to do with as they will. I was thinking of joining Facebook as a way to connect to more people but I think now I will be thinking no about that.

I do not know if you have a copyright or Creative commons license if this might protect you, but honestly I would not push my luck with that one.

here is a link to Facebook's TOS read it carefully.

Always Protect your hard work. Make sure before you sign up anywhere you read their agreement for intellectual property. Always take the time to license your work, and if at all possible make your voice heard about this issue. I am thinking maybe, just hypothetically here, clicking the contact us link on their page and letting them know what you think. Tweet about it, Blog about it, tell all your friends about it.
