There is something uniquely satisfying about being proven right: No Nupe Left Behind 3.0

I just saw and briefly read an article entitled, "Murdoch Makes it Official: MySpace is Going Open" that made me remember back to days where I took the heat and wood of stating that the NupeNet should use an open standard versus being so closed.

Although I could gloat about it all, I just might do so:)

As a result, Kappasforkappa.com now points to a dead-in-the-water-but-forwarding-about-other-topics website and the Nupenet will never have any third-party widgets to add any value to its potential.

So keeping the dead body in the house while the neighbors smell it and eventually complain to local authorities is the only salvation the Nupenet and other such closed websites will ever hope to have.

Such paternalistic thinking is better reserved for the security of face to face sessions and meetings.

Does anyone think that Brothers are not men with the ability to sniff a pretender in our midst or thieves within the temple?

There are people who would pretend to be a Nupe for our benefits of membership but with the arsenal of the open platform and web 2.0 world that exists today, the ability to deepen the relationships among the Bond is being driven underground and to a greater threat level to our Bond than necessary.

The No Nupe Left Behind concept has been given a web 3.0 boost and I am pleasantly stunned, pleased, and taken aback at how Brothers will creatively expand the Bond when given the chance.

It feels like I am in school all over again just to witness the serious and entertaining achievements that are being gained yard by yard and Brother by Brother.

Moment by moment we are in the midst of redefining Kappa.

The offline works and span have their place and the online realm is being inspired to fulfill our destinies.

I also now believe that the enemy of hazing will go into an all-or-none state. Either incidents of hazing will be so graphic and intense that the entire Fraternity has to create new financial assessments to stay alive or Brothers will finally take brotherhood, manhood, and the rites of passage away from the underground undertakers' mentality.

So this is almost ironically a Kappa-flavored Bill Cosby Omega call out on the Nupenet, "Come on Kappas!"

Or where shall I send the funeral wreaths Nupenet owner and moderators:)

LOL:) All haters have are their middle fingers!

Yours in the Bond!
