Aristotle, second draft.

Hey guys, here is maybe a good place to start. I did a little biography and then transitioned into one of Isaac's points. Feel free to add to it or take away from it and/or continue where I left off. #tryingtocollaborate (This isn't a real hashtag).  #gotchya

What would Aristotle say about your Website?

 

Aristotle was the grandson of Socrates, the son of Plato, and the father of Alexander the Great. Not biologically of course, but in thought. He was their mental prodigies. He was tutored by Plato, who was tutored by Socrates, and then even had a protege prodigy of his own, Alexander the Great. Though he was way back then, in 3rd century BC, and way over there, in Greece (assuming your reading this from far away), he still has a lot to say about what a good social website would look like. How it would interact with its users. How it would invite them to ACT!! (possibly buy your product/service).

Aristotle tried to provide a more systematic approach to what his forefather’s had brought forth, along with his own unique spin on things. Unlike Plato’s conception of what an ideal form of a social media website would look like, Aristotle would say that no one knows nor has created a perfect social media website.  We all have an idea or glimpse of what the ideal form is, but none envelope the complete form.

So, are we saying that it is simply impossible to create a good (and profitable) social media website? Give up, stop reading, we tricked you, there is no hope? On the contrary, Aristotle would say that through discussion and contribution to the site, while focusing a great deal on the other facets, the site will grow to the needs of all while moving toward that ideal form.
