Too often we feel the need to be able to see the end: "what's the ROI on blogging? the return on conversations?" rather than being willing to get stuck in and see what happens. my favourite Party metaphor again. You can go with the plan to cop off with person X and be miserable because you don't or you can go and enjoy yourself and heh maybe meet person Y instead, a person you'd have missed if (s)he wasn't on your Party Gantt chart. 2008-05-30T16:47:12.068+02:00 2008-05-30T16:47:12.068+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1386253&comment_id=26501433 Paul Caplan Happy birthday. If you could only find a way to measure your conversational presence across other spaces, you could add that to your achievements. That's where you've really made a mark, I'd say. 2008-05-10T10:49:18.636+02:00 2008-05-10T10:49:18.636+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1322706&comment_id=25092392 Paul Caplan I assumed the Gov was following me anyway. 2008-03-28T16:15:21.244+01:00 2008-03-28T16:15:21.244+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1307797&comment_id=24899751 Paul Caplan I think it's worth noting that this discussion you guys are having carries more authenticity and weight because you both sign your posts. We as bystanders can find out more about you, contextualise your contributions and decide whether to have content relationships with you. If one or both of you had remained anonymous, the discussion would, in my eyes, have seemed less grounded and relevant. 2008-03-20T13:06:37.744+01:00 2008-03-20T13:06:37.744+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1307797&comment_id=24886744 Paul Caplan What I find most disturbing about all this is the feeling that people feel the need to be anonymous. Mr Marsh's views are his own business and as long as they don't harm anyone... well. But why not stand up and say: "this is who I am and what I think, now come talk to me". There seems to be a growing feeling, partly driven by fear of bosses, that the only way to be 'real' is to be anonymous - possibly done more efficiently than this chap. That's worrying because that then makes the norm of online voice one of 'a role', an 'act', a 'message' a 'brand' which is exactly what we're trying to get away from. 2008-03-20T00:22:28.051+01:00 2008-03-20T00:22:28.051+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1289744&comment_id=24706470 Paul Caplan Gonzo Marketing by Christopher Locke. 2008-03-10T14:04:26.189+01:00 2008-03-10T14:04:26.189+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=theInternationale&conv=1251372&comment_id=24182214 Paul Caplan I love the analog notebook stuff. Wouldn't be without me lil' black book. But you can use Twitter as well. Just 140 that thought or link or idea and maybe pick it up later. 2008-02-16T10:51:32.086+01:00 2008-02-16T10:51:32.086+01:00
