The continuing end of business as usual
Web Pointers Online has a nice on-line reviewof the original on-line Cluetrain site. Haven't seen one of those in a long time. It even includes a link to a piece I forgot I had written. Listen Up was an out-take, as I recall, from the the original 95 Theses. Or something.
Thank you. Our call is important to us. All our co-authors are busy with other readers. We will answer your call in the order it was received.
One Cluetrain non-signee wrote this to us today:
Sorry, guys, I couldn't wade through all of this
pretentious, wordy, new-age drivel. Everyone knows the
internet is just a free-fire zone full of posers and
rumour-mongers, like the old West. If you want to hear the
human voice, use a telephone.
What's a little drivel between friends?
But there was this:
I love the freedom of expression that e-mail allows, it
brings back the art of the letter and the human fallibility
of spelling errors. It facilitates writing as you feel, as
you think - as you do when you talk with friends. Far from
ridding us of humanity, interconnecting has given this back
to us.
