Are we living in a world where the only communication is advertising?
So many members have made comments about the amount of advertising that is going on and the lack of real communication.
The Corner Cafe was set up as an advertising free group to provide a venue for those that want to get away from the advertising for a while and be able to have genuine exchanges without getting slammed in the face with ads.
I have not been so active to date due to workload and I have just had a pretty rough week health wise on top of that.
Lynn has posted several threads yet the lack of interaction just leaves me dumbfounded.
Where are all the members that have commented on the lack of communication?
Have we reached a point where we no longer know how to communicate without using an advertisement?
Are we so wrapped up in getting advertising posted that we have no time to spare for real conversation anymore?
Is it a case of the world is going to blazes and we don’t care as long as we can tell someone about the latest "Never before seen program compensation plan" which, by the way, we all know is just the "same old same old†in a different wrapper with a new plethora of hype and BS.
Have we come to a point where we have totally detached ourselves from real events and happenings to the extent that they leave us totally cold and uncaring?
Were none of our American members affected by the tragic collapse of the bridge over the Mississippi in Minneapolis, Minnesota?
Were none of our European members affected by the recent flooding in the UK, and other European countries?
Enough about bad news what about good news?
Has no one recently become a Mother, Father, or Grandparent?
has no one, or none of your family, overcome a health battle? (Note: no ads for an MLM product please).
Has no one, or none of your family, won a sporting prize?
We can’t shut out topics about the Internet nor do we want to.
Do you have a general opinion, without naming any specific program, about various Internet subjects?
I hope that those that take the time to read this will think about the questions I pose and give them some thought before replying rather than post a knee jerk reaction. Lets get some interaction going.

 Marketer, Engineerjust stumbled into the coffee shop, Hi everyone, and cant agree more, from your initial post in 2007, now 3 years later and still marketing, ads, etc. Even with all the social sites around now there still doesn't seem to be much communicating going on. In the real world if Joe from the corner shop didn't communicate with his customers and find out what they want/need, he'd be out of business real quick.. Jul 19th 2010 13:29 |

  Medical Billing/Coding/InsuranceIt's a shame that I checked the blogs this morning and found a page full of ads and one gem. The gentleman has posted a blog about himself. The group post page is no different nothing but links and ads to join this biz op or that. Thank goodness we have a core group on this site that understands how networking is supposed to work.
