Regenerated Content Streams and Tuning Out

By Dan Morrill on February 17, 2010

Louis Gray touches on a great point over on his blog today about how information is regenerated not just by the people who follow us, but by the popularity that we carry. I want to focus on one portion of this because it touches back to many of the issues we face not just with […]

Corporate Disobedience -  Operation Chokehold

Corporate Disobedience – Operation Chokehold

By Dan Morrill on December 15, 2009

Well this is interesting from a civil/corporate disobedience viewpoint, and an interesting way of looking at flash mobbing a place/product/service to see what the upward limits are.
