The scourge matrix JOHO and its official scourge, EGR, have simultaneously manifested their latest issues. Lots of good stuff in addition to their already ample oeuvres, but no time to compound the linkable. Our shortcut:
Of course it's sick. It's a viral meme, right? And it rocks. So hey. Let's dance. Markets are disco, it turns out. And Cluetrain's in Dutch. Literally. Dig this and this and hey, this too. If your Dutch is rusty, there's an English version of one page here. I'm just wondering why we weren't invited. Nothing impersonal So I'm here at the Personalization Summit in New York, just three short blocks from the apartment. Handy. Good speeches this AM by Steve Larsen (the human personification of personalization), Don Peppers, Jack Aaronson (who surprised me with an unsolicited and very generous Cluetrain endorsement) and Malcolm Gladwell, who looks a lot younger than I expected (isn't "Malcolm Gladwell" like, one of those old guy names?). It almost makes up for missing PC Forum, where I'm annoyed to have missed anything by Steve Hayden, the most funny and humane advertising guy in human history. There's a good story about Steve and PC Forum in the Washington Post. Thanks to my sister Jan for pointing that one out, and this one too, which features our mutual friend, the poet/businessman Tom Mandel. Lot of friends here I'm meeting for just the first or second time. One is Lane Becker, a great guy with whom I shared a long, deep conversation over lunch that went on until they took the tablecloths away. That was between conversations with a bunch of other friends I'll write about later, after the meeting I'm about to step into.
