How To Become an Information SuperStar
On the African Plain there is a Meta Predator and her name is Leo. Panthera leo to be exact.
The internet is the greatest collection of wealth or fodder, depending upon your info-perspective the world has ever seen. With such a cacophony of directories filled with video, text, imagery, sound, fury, Hot Flash and Cold Fusion, what's an information cheetah to do in order to make sense of it all and take it to another level of the Game?
Simple. Use the expertise of your fellow experts to reach escape velocity. Take yourself to the Meta level with something that is free, easy to use and will make your search for mission critical information a cruise.
Deja News: (http://deja.com/usenet). The archive of Usenet.
A Meta Expert takes advantage of other experts in the way that a meta search engine takes advantage of smaller search engines, the way that a lion takes advantage of smaller predators such as the Cheetah.
No, I don't work for Deja, or have any affiliation with them whatsoever. I'm simply the writer, athlete, producer, graphic designer, videographer Company Computer Guy, Marketer, PR man, CEO, CIO, CTO, chief dog walker and all around Mass Media Information SuperStar at large of dogtv.com networks (The SuperDog Station) http://dogtv.com
I'm a corporation of one and I know I'm not alone out there.
I became an expert on dogs via my own inherent brilliance, passion and background in writing and biology, with a big helping hand from Usenet (newsgroups). By reading posts from experts across the country, I quickly discerned the existence of, and in fact coined the phrases to describe three major camps in the Dog Game: A. Koehler Nazis (a choke chain is their best friend) B. Control Freaks (a cage is their best friend) C. Psychologists (Prozac is their only friend)
and I came out swinging with my own site, media, personality and "DOG GAME" philosophy which treats dog training as a game, the way dogs treat it and which views (correctly) dogs as the athletes and hunters that they are, and not "problems" to be fixed or solved with punishment, cages or expensive drugs.
As a usenet pro, I quickly learned to spot experts in other groups, including Digital Video, Computer Hardware, Software, Web Developing, and everything else I needed to learn YESTERDAY in order to create my own television presence on almost no budget.
Newsgroups are communities anyone can join, where experts in their fields, everything from motherboards for Athlon Processors, Danish Gardening, Bicycle Mechanics and questionable sexual habits get together to fight, laugh, educate, commiserate and battle for the soul of the digital demographic and deja.com is the Grand Central Station of information.
A newbie who needs info will go to a search engine. I even cut my teeth working at a
very successful search engine site, 4anything.com (http://4anything.com). These sights are great, especially for newbies. But what about experts?
An expert who needs critical info (Which anti virus program won't take over my computer and be worse than an actual infection? Will this video card be compatible with my motherboard? Linux or Windows 2000 Professional, please help?) might do is to bypass the hit and mostly miss search engines and go directly to the newsgroups, and ask their question and hold their breath waiting for an answer (which might take minutes or days, depending on whether the busy experts feel like answering it).
But here's what a "Meta" Expert would do. He/She would go to deja.com, click on the usenet link and type their query, such as the name of their video card and the name of their motherboard, and chances are (very good, actually) that some other desperate soul--who has suffered a thousand crashes and cursed a thousand Gates--has already asked the same question, and several "experts" have already come to their aid with relevant answers. All you have to do is find a thread which looks good, click on the "view thread" link and bingo, you've struck an information mother lode where you can peruse a whole thread (crosslinked history of a discussion), filled with tips from stone cold experts in that particular field. People who LIVE for motherboards. Believe me, they're out there.
You're at the top of the Food Chain now, Baby!
Two years ago, I was afraid to open up my computer and install an internal Zip Drive. Now, I'm a bios flashing, hard drive partitioning, motherboard overclocking hoodlum with three entirely home built, networked systems, strapped with 200 gigabytes of storage space, processing and pumping out dogumentary dogudrama video for the masses.
Broadcast.com, eat my shorts. I take that back, maybe we can be partners some day? C'mon, gimmie a break here, I'm just trying to sell an article? Go Mavs!
Now I even have Hollywood sites like LOADTV (http://loadtv.com) contacting me, thinking I'm a big company, asking me to provide content for them.
I couldn't have become such an info SuperStar alone. Sure, being talented and born for it helps, but I still could not have done it without the help of experts around the world, at my beck and call, free for the consulting, 24 hrs. a day, on Deja News. Instead of sifting through the infoglut, rise above it and study the people at the precipice of the edifice, yes those who have already been there, done that, and distilled it for you. The Experts.
