The Significance of CueTable
Please join CueTable's mission in the advancement and proliferation of billiard communication in the new information age, for our community and the future generations of players. Thank you very much,
Wei Chao Outlook Billiard is a game, a sport, a social gesture and a quick class in science. With properly developed communication, it can very well be a new form of artistic expression, an in-depth study of mind and hopefully, a healthy way of life. To view it from a higher level, billiard carries a honorable history and attracts a large population of participants. The activity is widely accessible, requires very little to start and has no age or physical requirements. It offers unique opportunity in learning bits of physics and psychology. It facilitates a colorful conversations and brings interesting people together. For any group to glorify in a society, there need to be frequent communications between its members. As its language has become sophisticated and easy for people to comprehend, the group will evolve and gain popularity. For some, pool is merely a fun pastime activity. This is perfectly acceptable. Let's learn a few more things and make it even more fun. For others who like to get a little more serious, let's keep the conversation going and learn from each other. Continue the Tradition Over the past 100 years, we have seen numerous billiard instruction books. Advanced players such as Willie Hoppe, Raymond Ceuleman, Heinrich Weingartner, Willie Mosconi and Eddie Robin carefully wrote down their life-long table experience, at a time when people wanted to keep their action secret, with limited tools and resources. The books had a small circulation, and most of them have been out of print for a long time. Few people today would have a chance to see them. Later as the sport started to gain a better public image, we have expert writers such as Robert Byrne, Philip B. Capelle, George Fels, Jack H. Koehler and a few others that continued the older tradition of teaching. They all have produced excellent volumes of educational material. However, these valuable works were still done in ink on paper. This older medium limits us from studying and communicating at a larger scale. As technology advances our users can preserve these valuable history, extend the knowledge together, and prepare for further discoveries. New Age of Information
The "new" web is already having an impact on us, as we start exploring the potential of blogs, media-sharing services, and other social software, which, although not designed specifically for e-learning, can be used to empower learners and create exciting new learning opportunities. These same tools allow everyone to share and discuss innovations more easily and, in turn, spread good practice. Our work process has been following these directions of modern internet development:
How it started
“Education is not a preparation for life but is life itself.” - John Dewey

For any group to flourish in a society there needs to be frequent communication among its members. Over time, the language used by a group gets refined and the number of specialized terms increase as the exchanges grow in sophistication. If the communication is visual, such as a picture or diagram, words may not be needed at all to get a message across. Any group needs verbal and visual languages that are both easily accessible and can support the communication of complicated messages. Without this development, the group will stagnate and, in the worse case, risks becoming obsolete. 
Many believe the web has entered a second phase, where new services and software are transforming the web from a predominantly "read only" medium to one where anyone can publish and share content and easily collaborate with others.
