Networkers (less than) anonymous

Digital enabling

So, shared meaning?

Here Comes Everybody

The Long Tail

(something about niches)

"We sold more books today that didn't sell at all yesterday than we sold today of all the books

that did sell yesterday."

Individualand yetsocial

Infobesity?

“There is no information overload,

only filter failure”

“An aggregation of fragments is the only

kind of whole we have now”

No permission required

What can we do?

Let’s make things less boring!

New media doesn’t kill old media

Managing communities takes up time

Interactive websites need interactive

organisations

Blocking is silly

The risk isn’t what bad things might happen if you do things differently,

but what good things won’t happen if you don’t

If you don’t do it, someone else will

Fundamentally:what is it that you want to achieve?

Have we found a shared meaning?

digitalyw @davebriggs don't think is about shared meaning -

more that everyone has their own interest but sometimes it

still contributes to common aim

72prufrocks @davebriggs 'shared' as in each person understands the same, or 'shared' as in each person

contributes part of the meaning?

Tonymolloy @davebriggs shared meaning aka

consensus/common ground? are we in McLuhanist

message/medium land here?

Hmmmm

Social individualism, perhaps?

“If you don’t like change, you’ll like

irrelevance even less”

Thanks for listening
