If somebody else won't beat it for you: beat it yourself ;)

Get your mind out of the gutter, btw...yes, the blog post title was clickbait & yes, you fell for it. However, the point here is that FunAdvice had 155K visitors yesterday...oh, ya, is that birds I hear chirping? Crickets?

Either way, if somebody else won't beat it for us...I'm happy to beat it myself! Beat what??? The drum, the gong the table clamoring for applause, for kudos...for recognition.

Meanwhile, some large social networking site finally makes itself work for the blind...when we've been compatible for blind people for a long time now. They get kudos for doing the right thing, long after they should have...in essence, chasing our tail.

In a world where getting kudos means that your company finally did something that you should have done at launch or at least, a long time back, it's no wonder we get ignored. Seriously. Call us guilty: we've been trying to build a business & do the right thing. Maybe if the founders of these other social networks had children they'd feel a little more civic responsibility and actually care more?

I know that's an unfair comment, however sometimes it takes raising a child to see how important it is to do the right thing, to make the short term trade off for that long term gain. The Google guys didn't have kids when they (Larry / Sergey) decided to take the money from the IPO & setup Google.org...so yes, I realize there are exceptions. But isn't the exception that proves the rule?

Back to the topic of the title: we're happy to publicize ourselves, even if others won't. Besides, it's not the snarky tech industry insiders that we're trying to surprise and delight with our product: it's the people, you, me and everybody, who could use a little fun, or a little advice, in their lives. And on that score, we're winning, even if nobody is there to report on the game.
