The Current Creative & Knowledge Renaissance

This is a great address. I think it is too easy to lose sight of the fact that we are living in a period of profound change. It’s worthwhile to step back occasionally and take stock of that fact and put yourself in context. The video is from TED; here’s the description from the site: While [...]

Madison Avenue Blues: The Year The Media Died

This parody of The Day The Music Died by Don McLean is hilarious and sad at the same time. Found at YouTube from LMcDuff08 via Build the Echo via Jason Barnett via Tracy Van Slyke.

Microblogging Fragmentation & How Yahoo Can Get Game With A Flickr Of The Switch

Microblogging is clearly here to stay, despite speculation that Twitter has jumped the shark. The function of microblogging has been adopted by LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and most recently, FriendFeed. With Twitter as the clear leader, these are the big five.

In addition to the White House blog, the administration has established a White House channel on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr and iTunes. Predictably enough, they’re calling it WhiteHouse 2.0. As I’ve said before, the Adminstration’s [...]

The primary purposes of the Obama campaign site were to 1) market the candidate, 2) raise funds, 3) connect supporters, 4) organize [...]

Interview Notes – Obama 2.0

I’ve always wished that reporters would publish the transcript or full notes of the interviews they conduct so you can understand the context of the interview and benefit from their subject’s entire insight into the topic at hand.
