Power Stroke



Everyone craves for the ability to express - smoothly and powerfully. When you have to type at 19 words per minute (average for composition according to Karat, et al) and think at 100 words per minute - expression suffers. And no amount of computing power is going to change that.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The answer is clear. The ability to manipulate text is not sufficient.

It is the expression modes that are more important.

Welcome to ZCubes where you can paint, draw, type, rotate, revise, do whatever else you want.

Are you not happy that you found us? BTW, when you are here, take a look at what hundreds of thousands of people been making for you to see. Yes, just for you. Check out the listings of some of these at http://www.zcubes.com/ .

Expect the unexpected, and unexpect the expected. Have fun!

Information Gatekeepers

Information should not be at the mercy of the illiterate, ill-informed, ill-mannered, uninformed, under-informed, unwilling-to-be-informed, and those who control such entities. The openness with which information can be accessed should be reflected in the breadth and depth of information. Otherwise, skewed information will be reflected as the Bible - and this can be seen in so many communities over the world today.

The wiki world has been peppered with such Information Gatekeepers who decide with arbitrariness what should be kept, and what should not be kept. Especially when policies are made to be politically correct, but with so much fuzziness, the flow of information is impeded. It is similar to a legalistic world where you should not do anything, and somehow should do everything - without offending anyone who intend to be offended by anything.

ZCubes is a world where it works differently. The openness we provide gives all the ability to express, when they want to express, and however they wish to express. Then give the control to the ones who experience to control information rather than a select few.
