We tend to get so caught up in the new tools that we sometimes lose sight of the fundamentals that lie underneath the social media phenomenon. Also, your insights into reaction to &#39;the world is changing&#39; messaging is spot on. I had never really thought about it that way. Excellent point.luxury villa balihttp://www.villa-niloufar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187396913880956540.post-25325009668623068212009-10-29T15:55:00.741-05:002009-10-29T15:55:00.741-05:00James, maybe the conspiracy thoerists would&#39;ve been happier if I&#39;d compared the freemasons to 4chan instead of Twitter? :)<br /><br />Appreciate the comments. I find that I often look to history as a guide for what will come since, of course, even as tech changes considerably, human nature changes very little.Augie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11717746847853655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187396913880956540.post-17432974555119118172009-10-29T14:58:11.919-05:002009-10-29T14:58:11.919-05:00You had me the moment you invoked history. And as a Boston history nut, I can vouch for the success of Revere as a businessman and community leader -- both attributes exquisitely dependent upon one another, of course. <br /><br />Not sure some conspiracy theorists will go along with your characterization of Freemasonry as a proto-Twitter, but I think the point is spot on.Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09085071509125830887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187396913880956540.post-33969363324122534002009-10-27T08:32:39.709-05:002009-10-27T08:32:39.709-05:00Jeremy,<br /><br />Admittedly, I extrapolated on our brief discussion and added some research to the mix, but inspiration is still inspiration. I enjoyed our tweetup and discussion, and it motivated me to write last night. I appreciate that!<br /><br />Have a great visit to Milwaukee. See you in San Francisco or D.C. sometime?Augie Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02071008054820752066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187396913880956540.post-52094949278419990772009-10-27T05:29:04.739-05:002009-10-27T05:29:04.739-05:00Well, you really took an offhand comment...I literally just pulled Paul Revere out of aao hat in terms of names...and made it something tangible. I had NO idea he was that a good a businessman (don&#39;t want to burst the bubble here, but we did talk about transparency right?)<br /><br />Regardless, I love what you did with it and how you used it to prove the point. Once again, proves that meeting up with like-minded people can spur innovation (of all kinds!)<br /><br />Thanks for the shout out and well done!Jer979http://www.blogger.com/profile/06004914298456104608noreply@blogger.com
