The twisty tail and An Ode To The Cluetrain Gang
First off, about the tail being twisty. We know that people up and down the length of the tail are linked together. Aa more natural visualization of the tail would be a 3D map showing clusters of blogs, some slightly taller, others shorter, scattered across a landscape. Only so many people live in the high rises; most live in small houses or small apartment buildings, clustered around topics or whatever interests them. There was a thread on http://brandingbranding.com about the definition of branding. Irked me. My response... http://theblogpost.blogspot.com/2005/06/ode-to-cluetrain-gang.html My answer: What is branding to me?Each year the spirits of Doc Searls and David Weinberger rub off on me just a bit more. Rageboy too. We talk about personal branding and blog branding, but the attitude, the fundamental assumptions are just immoral and wrong. Not saying I have an alternative, but "humane" and "conversation" are still not in the average marketers' lexicon. And they should be.
All the best.
