My friend, Howard Lindzon shares his insight, his commentary, and his life via social media.
When I first met Howard, I was doing a terrible job trying to explain my vision for Lotame. He looked at me (as many still do) as if I had 3 heads. He was right, I could not effectively, or clearly articulate what I was trying to build or execute.
Much has changed since that day in 2006.
The best way I know how to explain it now (Lotame) - is to watch Howard use SOCIAL MEDIA AS HIS PRIMARY TOOL OF COMMUNICATION. He may be an early adopter, and evangilzer of self expression -- but he is also a case study for "monetization needs...."
Howard uses many of the following tool for communication on a daily basis. His blogs, Twitter, Friendfeed,Facebook, Disqus, his video, and last but not least -- his financial advice is dispensed via all channels above and many more......
But, his recent post on the internet being 5000 days old, was noteworthy, insightful and introspective....and with a healthy dose of foreboding....
"The internet continues to add exponential value to my life. I talk often about ‘Social Leverage’ so I won’t rehash, but if you are not part of this trend, Obama nor McCain can’t save your sorry asses. It’s a Tsunmai aimed at your cush VP job."
Classic Lindzon.....
I encourage you to read it the post.
On a seperate note....
