“It’s not a binary choice between journalism and development, blogging and podcasting, or even marketing and communicating. The power of metadata is additive.” — “Never MetaData I didn’t Like” in Steve Gillmor’s blog
Yaa, like I was saying … so why can’t I get anyone to help me kick-start my project?
I wonder … will the re-election of the Bush gang startle they yuppy intelligensia into abandoning their self sabotage? will they dare become effective?
“Skimming got us the election from hell. Skimming reduces the power of your intellect from recognizing the cues of emerging disruptive technologies to missing the point.”
Yaa, Steve … so why not augment and support that perfectly valid “heuristic technique”? We’re cognitive misers by nature … adaptively. Is someone so naive as to suggest we go against human nature?
Gilmor echoes the intention driving my project: “to improve the signal to noise and create content unencumbered by dilution and hidden agendas. The agendas are still there, but they’re in broad daylight.” Thus, I have suggested, is the nature of authentic discourse.
“It’s not a binary choice between journalism and development, blogging and podcasting, or even marketing and communicating. The power of metadata is additive.”
Hear … hear!!
