The State of "Communication"

November 10, 2009 | RSS | EMAIL | PRINT | 0 COMMENTS

Rob Walker is great at finding pithy ways to sum up problems. In this edition he ruminates on the state of "online dialogue" (which I copy in full because it's such a short post, but go over and subscribe to Rob's blog as it's great):

Yesterday somebody using the Robwalker.net contact form sent a message, and all it said was: "Read my blog." Followed by a link.

I found this depressing. Somehow it seemed to sum up the entire state of online "dialogue" these days -- a blunt demand for attention. But points for honesty, I guess.

It's true and it is kind of depressing. For all the talk about changing the way marketing works and relying on word of mouth and tapping into networks, there is still a whole lot of screaming until somebody listens going on.

You can use some HTML (a's, br's, p's, oh my!) if you'd like, if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it.
