‘Ya We No’ and What It Means!

You might be wondering what this ‘Ya We No’ refers to. It is a random expression which a few of us in college used very frequently. It was generally used in a humorous context and it meant exactly the same – ‘Yeah, We Know!’. It was slowly morphed into what it is on the top of my blog.

But going beyond the humor part of it, I consider ‘Ya We No’ to refer to the collective wisdom of people. It refers to the power of the internet. When each one of us contribute something, and encourage others to do so, then we get an ocean of knowledge. Wikipedia is the best example of collective wisdom of the internet junta. There are millions of people interacting every instant on the Internet. Be it twitter, facebook or any other social networking site. With the internet at our disposal, there is nothing that ‘we cannot know’.

There is a new phenomenon emerging. Its called crowdsourcing. It refers to the trend of mass collaboration enabled by the Web 2.0 technologies. It is so because, ‘Yeah! We Know’ it all.

I’m just reiterating the same with the title of my blog. You and I, together we know it all. Ya We No.

Update – I’ve changed my Blog Title again. Its no longer Ya We No. So you might actually find this post pointless.
