  2. That was a really good article man. I love the quotes from Ben himself. They can be applied directly to Social Media today. Nicely done, and well written!

  3. You know that if social media existed back then, Ben Franklin wouldn't have been able to get anything done and all the folks signing the Declaration of Independence would have been too busy Digging and Mixxing :)

    No doubt old Ben would be downvoting things too :)

  18. Great post. Left a comment on your blog. Ben Franklin also kept a personal diary or journal, one precursor to blogging, although most people don't share their private journals with anyone. Poor Richard's Almanac is the closest thing to a blog one can get without a computer!
