Hello all you bloggers.

This image struck me as an example of what we can experience when we take a different perspective.

After living near the Macquarie Centre for 5 years, this is the first time I have looked at it from this perspective.

The photo, when taken from this angle, accentuates the limitless nature of the sky. The word 'Macquarie' takes on a new meaning of lightness when only the final 4 letters are visible.

This reminds me of how easy it is to look at things - whether they are buildings, loved ones or the technologies we use - from only one perspective. This limits not only how we as individuals see each other and our technologies, but also the direction of our society.

If we take a multifaceted view towards blogging and other social sites, like flickr, the capabilities of these technologies(through our use), as well as the capabilities of our society, will crystalise into a world more colourful.

Or will it...?

Perhaps our customers will want to share / create / contribute to our collections in ways that are relevant to them ... ways we haven't imagined because the technology didn't exist in the past or it didn't fit our business model?
