Buy an SUV. Do your part. 
| | So there's still time to go for the record in 2006. |
In to lunch
| | Britt will preview what the Dean campaign might have used if it had started three years later, in the age of Web 2.0... |
| | For more background on today's presentation, and the "Dean Done Right" project, please see Britt's playlist of links for further reading. |
| | Some quotes on Britt's talk (blogging this live): |
| | "smart = busy = distracted = stupid" |
| | "just as deep linking is important to the web, deep asking is important to organization" |
Agreeing to disagree. Or just disagreeing.
| | It seems like Doc is tired of the "conversation," and wants to move on. |
| | That's fine, I suppose. It takes two people to have a conversation, only one to rant. I rant well. |
| | Doc may move on, but the rest of us are all stuck with "markets are conversations," which has given permission to a generation of marketers to intrude even more into whatever remaining social space there was to deliver their commercial pitches. The Cluetrain Manifesto made that legitimate. |
| | I've asked, unrhetorically I might add, what do marketers respect? I've seen no answer. I suspect, I fear, the answer is nothing, though no marketer wishes to admit it. For any marketer to identify a boundary, a limit, would cede to their competitors an advantage, and markets are more about competition than they are about conversation. |
| | It's true. I am tired of defending stuff ("markets are conversations", Cluetrain) that continues to piss Dave off, no matter what I say about it. |
| | I'll just add that Cluetrain wasn't about, or for, marketing. It was as much a rant against marketing as anything Dave is writing today. I think both Dave and I would like to make some headway here, but I don't see it happening. |
