Somebody recently asked me what social media was. As I was in a hurry, I blurted out “it’s what took us from the information age to the conversation age”. In my naive mind I actually thought I had invented something brilliant, but one google search later I had a new book in my Amazon shopping basket – “Age of Conversation”. They even had it bundled with “Groundswell”, another one of my favorite books, and several Seth Godin volumes (one of my idols).
Everything good is invented. Might as well give up.
