Artacio.us

Often (and by 'often' I mean 'more than often') I get carried away with my ideas in their complexity. I forget where the idea started as I blast full steam ahead into a universe of ideas. More specifically, with Artacio.us, I did not forget anything, but was just completely ignorant as to what I was doing. Attempting to build a social network is WAY more difficult than I imagined. I knew it was going to be hard, but now I have a much better idea of how hard it will be.

In my classes I told my peers, faculty, and friends about a milwaukee social network that is on the rise and will be here soon. Another thing I tend to do often is put my ideas before reality. In order for my ideas to coalesce I need to have a better understanding of how things work. For instance, when I started selling artwork I knew shit. School didn't teach me anything about selling art so I had to learn via trial and error. Now I know a few things.

The same type of learning has occured with the SN. I knew 'rien' (except from a user's perspective). But in my opinion its not how much you know, its how much you learn, and compared to when I first had this idea of a milwaukee based SN I know a hell of a lot more. I almost feel ashamed at my ignorance until I realize how far I have come.

So, to prevent myself from talking on and on about this SN without much to support it aside from my excitement and interest I'm shutting up. The SN artacio.us will be completed. It will take much longer than I anticipated, but this time I will let actions speak for the SN. Nothing more here will be said about it until it is finished.
