Speaking of everything...

The Berkman Klein Center, still my home on the Internet Range (whether I'm there in body or not), is having a thing at 5 (EDST) today that it's killing me not to be at. And another on the 23rd. I'm in New York for the first and California for the second. :-(

The Giant Zero is my own take on Why the Internet Matters.

Market intelligence that flows both ways is my design for a $zillion market. Absolutely world-changing if somebody picks up on it. And it's had damn few reads, so far. 

Apple is a clothing company may be the best thing I've written about Apple since Dave published Doc Searls on Steve Jobs, nineteen years ago yesterday. In response to a comment under that, I also wrote Its about the glowing rectangle in your pocket or purse. Found great fodder for both in this FastCompany piece.

I keep adding developers to the VRM list here.

VRM was named by Mike Vizard ten years and four days ago on this Gillmor Gang podcast.

I posted a comment under this piece in AdWeek.

Conversational Commerce is finally a thing, I guess. An echo of something Dr. Weinberger and I wrote about seventeen years ago in Cluetrain.

Marshall McLuhan's best line was said about him, rather than by him. Still applies: We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us. I'm still shaped by blogging tools.

Loved getting to meet @EskoKilpi in Helsinki, shortly before I left. His new book is blowing my mind. Pull-quote: "“The Internet is nothing less than an extinction-level event for the traditional firm." That includes the Ubers of the world. They too can be disintermediated. Writing about that now, in fact.

The second coming of double entry bookkeeping is a chapter that didn't make it into The Intention Economy, currently the #1,046,864 best-selling book on Amazon. Even though I saw many of them in Helsinki (including two of the Japanese edition).

Go through these cities and see if you can find the ranked AM stations. They continue to sink down the lists. What's next? Radio itself. See my next post.

I just cancelled Netflix after watching nothing but the thing I got it for back during a free trial in March.
