Applied Hyperbolics: Lately the Cluetrain sign-ups have been, well, a bit on the generous side. Not since Rock n'Roll changed the landscape of modern cultural values and motivation has anything come along to so well define and guide the heart and soul of the people. Long Live the Manifesto!! writes Dan Nash. Yesterday there was this, from Tim Chambers of Pikes Peak Perl Mongers: "Perhaps, it's slightly presumptuous and revisionist to compare this movement to the Reformation, but, hey -- it's apt nevertheless. Hmm, let's see. It was some sixty years from the printing of Gutenberg's first Bible to Wittenberg. It's been only ten years between Tim Berners-Lee and <cite>the cluetrain manifesto</cite><cite>.</cite> That's Internet time for you. Well, just call me a Protestant :-). "Wow, cool! I tell Ed Yourdon about the cluetrain manifesto, and nine days later it's one of his featured books! Thanks, ESR, for pointing me to the cluetrain." But the biggest thrill for me was getting a sign-up note from Dick Orkin at Dick Orkin's Radio Ranch (and home for wayward cowboys). He writes, Brilliant. The right place, the right time! High praise coming from the man I regard as the most creative talent in the history of radio advertising. — Doc Searls
