- @Darius - appreciate your comment. Glad you liked the post. Good point on the whuffie concept. Tara has mentioned that every time I've heard her speak and it's even in her book - so the...
- Nice post, Ken. I've been thinking I should pick up this book. By the way, the whuffie concept is a creation of Cory Doctorow, from his book "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom."...
- I agree with you that power belongs to the audience. They're the people buying what you're selling after all, right? But it also boils down to credibility and trust as well and a new way of...
- Well the interesting thing about social capital, if considered as a power to influence, is that the power belongs to audience. The moment the audience loses faith, interest, in the influencer, that...

But I digress slightly. To respond to Shel's comment about "great web minds"...for someone who is kinda in the middle of the social media pack, not a newbie, but also not a subject matter expert, I think having the insights of someone that I consider "great web minds" is very beneficial.

But for someone to say they know Guy Kawasaki who has achieved so much during his time at Apple to forming several of these web entities or Jeremiah Owyang who takes social media with him to work to help broaden his audience base or even Shel Israel himself who writes great blogs and passes along his knowledge to other people...these are the type of people who I'd love to consider being my contacts so I can weasel out their experience and become a better expert of this art form.
DC has a great many of these people and I'm only breaking the crust and hopefully that'll only get better as more people begin to pay attention to me :-)
