- @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...
- @gravity7 - thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it. I think you're on to something when you said that influence depends on an audience for its value and spendability and also that it only...

Perhaps one of the most popular sessions that I saw at yesterday’s Podcamp DC, I felt that this session was quite entertaining and it seemed to me that everytime Jim Long speaks, there’s always a huge crowd following him (similiar to Twitter). For me, this was the first time that I actually got to see […]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title:

To anyone remotely concerned with truth in journalism (as it pertains to the thing we (collectively) call reality)) this tension is assuredly known and well documented.
Historically, the pressure from revenue streams has weighed on the editorial decisions of media outlets.

You see...I'm just getting started.
Join me. Let's see exactly what kind of truth we can come up with when we strip away the editorial constraints of revenue!
Jim Long, you are still one of my heroes. You know the extent of my regard for those involved in the telling of truth (aka what journalism is) and you know that I admire your ability to document, and your desire to document.
Keep documenting!
Thank you for this forum, This is THE topic that people are talking about, and this is why they are talking about it. And I'm sure many of you are reading and hearing a lot about what is to come, what's on the bleeding edge, what is "in the air," and all that...

If you care to, add why you think I've referrenced those songs...
