Web Power

Sad Hollow Remains

I believe in the power of the web.

The second half of my career is based on websites: social media management, website building, email communications, and newsletters. Even my digital photography is mostly on the web.

Often, I see non-profits or companies (especially small, local mom-and-pop shops) without websites. I feel bad for them. They might be building their digital presence on sand.

Just yesterday I found out Workplace, the work-based social media management platform, is closing. It sucks for us companies that use it. But it also reinforces the stability, the always-thereness, of the web.

So many of these platforms and social sites have shuttered over the years. It’s enough to make one lose trust in anything other than the web.
