My parents said that you would pick up the phone and a conversation was already occurring. A communication between many and not just one to one. Who knows what we will be next. We have seen so many advancements in the last 10 years. Blogging can be related to the old third party telephone lines.

The corporate blog culture of opening the "conversation" with the customer is ridiculous. It doesn't address the consumer need at all. People search the Internet and end up on a blog because they have a need and that need is rarely that they want to communicate with a corporation- it is more likely they want information about a product/service, a lesson on how to troubleshoot a problem, a comparison of brands so they can make a decision, communicating with real people with similar interests, etc. Tutorial and social marketing is what makes a successful blog so extrapolate that out to niche social networks so people with similar interests can interact and teach one another.

For all the crappy bloggers who will wax on and on about their brand new corpoblog dedicated to transparency and touting their self-proclaimed "listening culture," I just tell em that they you can't fake the funk. I think doc should hook up with Steve Mann and start doing straight up blogovision, then he could pull intervention style stunts that only a battle hardened veteran could get away with.

From my perspective, it seems that blogging was suppose to change everything, and it didn't or didn't in quite the way expected. My attitude is that blogging is a tool that helps me articulate my thoughts in a public forum. The person who has been the most influenced by my blog is me. Is that a low grade expectation? I don't think so. It is certainly a realistic one. Also, I wish you well on your recovery. When you are out read Tom Peter's excellent PPT on heath and health care. http://www.tompeters.com/slides/uploaded/Healthcare_Master_033108.ppt I'd be interested in hearing your reactions in light of your current experience.

Made me want to send something I think is interesting from an AP article on 3/31: “Blogging to Stardom”

What does this say about where we are and where we are headed?

And then you get more diary type of conversations "I saw this and thought it was interesting oh and guess what happened today" and the deep thought conversations (I do like the slogger definition). But in the end, we all get to decide with whom we like to hang out. Which is why Dave invented RSS feeds (thanks Dave). It's too bad someone couldn't figure out a way to measure click throughs from RSS feeds and group this with the bundle of feeds by individual person. Now that would be interesting. You can learn a lot about a person by what they feed. Doc,
