Comments on: Cluetrain-a-Day 2009: The Internet is enabling conversations among human beings that were simply not possible in the era of mass media. http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2009/01/cluetrain-a-day-2009-the-internet-is-enabling-conversations-among-human-beings-that-were-simply-not-possible-in-the-era-of-mass-media/ Wed, 23 May 2012 18:04:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: TedC http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2009/01/cluetrain-a-day-2009-the-internet-is-enabling-conversations-among-human-beings-that-were-simply-not-possible-in-the-era-of-mass-media/comment-page-1/#comment-1199 TedC Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:23:20 +0000 http://www.dangerouslyawesome.com/?p=914#comment-1199 <p>Alex, you've tapped into the stream these posts! I do remember 1999 and one good thing about then was that content, although somewhat sparse compared to today, was in some sense, more to the point. That said we still have not unlocked our interconnected potential even today. Volume doesn't equal quality and neither does empty chatter. Remember you can still get sued for writing a bad Yelp review, but as you said this is only the beginning. The next wave will be personally tailored quality content.</p> Alex, you’ve tapped into the stream these posts!

It seems that many places that foster primarily user-focused conversations, though, eventually go the way of the later – the more people find a voice and outlet, the more saturated it gets with the obnoxiously loud minority.

Is there a way to prevent this? Is a company required to guide and mediate conversation? Listening without preconception can lead to better products, but at what time does the conversation start devolving into useless… bitching?

Feel a bit foolish, discovering Cluetrain for the first time this past weekend, ten years old! Wow... Yes, i crawled out from a rock... Please continue to bring a ten year perspective to Cluetrain's "Partly Like it 1999" Manifesto! You got me hooked. (Linked from Doc Searls).</p> Just want to say thank you!
