I once thought that if we gave everyone the opportunity to express themselves freely and exchange ideas and information, the world would automatically become a better place. I was wrong" . The outburst of the founder of Twitter, Evan Williams , was reported by newspapers around the world. He's not the only one disappointed with the turn things have taken; a few days ago the marketing guru Seth Godin also told the same thing in his own way: “And the miracle of the Internet, connecting billions of people, instantly, has become something we all take for granted after less than a generation.” Boredom has replaced amazement at the incredible possibilities that the instrument can offer.
Today we are more concerned with accumulating "likes" on Facebook India Mobile Number Data posts than with exploiting this potential to improve ourselves and the world around us.

If you grant the majority of people the power to increase the visibility of content, it will happen that the most interesting ones will not be rewarded, but those with greater power of attraction.

If you see an accident while you're driving, you obviously observe it: and everyone around you does.

And instead, the Internet began without thinking that we would have to replicate this pattern, online." I am sure that quality will pay off more and more in the future. I am not pessimistic and I believe that this trend for benchmarking , and the algorithms that reward it, will soon be replaced with new and advanced quality meters, in which it will not be the likes and the quantity of actions that highlight content but trust and the authority of those who propose them.
