Taking this just a little bit further, that rationale often comes from other places on the web: a blog post you liked, something someone said on Facebook, a feature on a web site that you saw and want to "steal," etc. To that end I'd really make sure that the chat system you implement be really good at handling rich media (imagine: you drop an image in it and it becomes like a mini canvas where chatters can draw and annotate on top of it right there), and at handling linking and web snippets (example: a "send to blimp chat" bookmarklet/browser extension that, like Instapaper, can grab a piece of web content even if it's not publicly accesible), etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, awesome idea guys!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">rafitorres</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:14:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Opinión: Puerto Rico BloggerCon 2012</title><link>http://algaretismo.com/redes-sociales/item/515-opinion-puerto-rico-bloggercon-2012#comment-639538049</link><description>&lt;p&gt;RE: Rehashing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alguien dijo una vez que la misión de un bloguero debe ser "no suckear".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;El asunto de fondo aquí es que al final del día hay dos caminos que alguien puede tomar en su blog: ser reportero o ser columnista.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Para no suckear como reportero hay que hacer trabajo de investigación original. Me refiero a tareas que van más allá de una búsqueda en Google: cubrir eventos, entrevistar gente, confirmar hechos con la fuente, "romper" la noticia antes que nadie, etc. Como esto conlleva tiempo y esfuerzo muchos blogs terminan haciendo rehashing. A veces es triste ver la lista de noticias enlatadas, todas con "0 comentarios". ¿Qué ventaja tiene eso sobre mi feed de Twitter o RSS que me da las noticias que quiero ver más rápido y directo de la fuente? ¿Dónde está el valor añadido ahí?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Por otro lado, para no suckear como columnista hay que tener opiniones fuertes y originales y personalidad en la escritura. No todo el mundo tiene eso, y tampoco es trivial desarrollarlo sin invertir tiempo y esfuerzo. Pero los que sí lo tienen, ya sea por talento natural o porque lo fueron desarrollando (y en Puerto Rico hay muchos) tienen la capacidad de llegar más alto y crear verdaderos fans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Para aquellos blogueros que se consideran reporteros (o un híbrido de reportero y columnista) mi recomendación es la siguiente: olvídate de eso. Tu opinión es donde está el verdadero valor. Si estás comentando sobre una noticia cita par de oraciones del link original y entonces da tu opinión, pero que la opinión sea el foco del artículo. Olvídate de ser imparcial. Sé un HP si quieres/tienes que serlo. Conviértete en una personalidad. Ah, y si ves que empiezas a suckear, mejórate o retírate. (Nota: Yo me retiré.)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">rafitorres</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 04 Sep 2012 13:11:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The home theater PC is dead, long live Windows Media Center</title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2011/01/08/the-htpc-is-dead-long-live-windows-media-center/#comment-129617759</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Again, he's talking about the general consumer market. Yes, you have a greater choice of content with an HTPC, but you need to be a geek to get it. Microsoft has a better chance to strike deals with big content providers with an embedded version of WMC, and my mom would be able to use it. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">rafitorres</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 15 Jan 2011 23:25:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Making the leap to SSD on a MacBook</title><link>http://remiel.info/post/1601242301#comment-98549098</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Excellent.
