Too often it unless you’re an actual ‘thought leader’ you aren’t supposed to really talk about the internet and where things are headed. And if you do, you aren’t taken seriously by certain audiences. After all, this internet is serious business. Run along little one–grownups at work. Yeah, okay. Screw that. (Generally, I like my thought leaders to find mysterious holes in space while talking with a straw.) James over at Yonder Ponder–strawless to the best of my knowledge–has a nice look at message and content along with the convergence/confluence/divergence of all things agency-media related, albeit from a creative’s POV.Which isn’t intended as a slight. It’s just that writers and art directors are really less thought leaders and more thought doers because, well, someone has to execute the work. Doers, leaders, i.e., e.g., FU. Regardless, his take rings as true as anything I’ve read from, well, you know, the TLers. On top of that, there’s also another nice little rant on the whole Justin.tv thing from Tim at Valleywag, which has implications for the social media space as a whole. (By the way, if you’re not reading that blog, you’re missing out on all the internet Gods and Goddesses they cut down to size on a regular basis.)
