Freemarks 
| | Even if we got conned downstream, many of us were attracted by adjectives like "green" and "organic". |
| | Generation M will look for different kitemarks. Shareable. Copiable. Mashable. |
| | Note that they don¹t look for Free as in Gratis. It has always been Free as In Freedom for them. |
| | While we mope around trying to look for just Playable. |
| | I look forward to seeing things marked SCM for Shareable Copiable Mashable. Or maybe the Creative Commons CC already does this |

Rough treatment
| | So Microsoft's self-styled human face is now some other company's human face. This must be the first corporate human face transplant ever attempted. Will it take? Or will the new body reject the used puss? And what does it say about this whole human face business when a person proclaims himself to be a company's human face and then, when a better offer comes along, tears himself from the old noggin and stitches himself to the new one? That seems a little untoward to me. If I were in a punny mood, I just might call it a mugging. |
| | A company should probably be a little nervous about letting some blogger set up shop as its human face. The earnings the blogger pulls in through the attention economy may accrue more to his own bottom line than the firm's. |
| | Damn. That's a problem with Nick. Though he specializes in finding the dark lining under every cloud, he's often right as, well, rain. And hey, ya gotta admit that companies like Google* and Apple, which stand out for their absense of stand-out bloggers, don't seem to suffer for it. |
| | Questions: What huge company Scoble was blogging at before he went to Microsoft? And what's that say about both companies? |
The past it still here. It's just not evenly distributed.
Hear a pinhead drop.
A new meaning for "scobleized"
| | Making Netcraft is kind of a big deal in geek circles. Among Web hosting weenies, that's, like, bigger than Slashdot. |
