Hmm, a new title: Dialogue Inspirer. Snazzy, but the pay is lousy.

I could cynically say, nice spin. Or, I could give Doug & Co. the benefit of the doubt and declare "mission accomplished." My mission was to call attention to the potential negative ramifications of a service like Qwiki and hopefully make an impact and get them to think twice. Maybe I've done that. I truly hope so.

Then again, maybe they will forget it all inside of a week. After all, visions are like cruise ships. It's really hard to turn 'em once they're going full speed.

We'll see.
