StefanSteven Safran reflects on the cancellation of a popular US comedy show.
Getting cancelled is the best possible thing that could have happened to Arrested Development.
He puts forward a way to disintermediate the networks throwing the whole show online and vigorously engaging its fanbase in future episodes. Great provocative thinking.
Thanks to Alan Moore for spotting it. (Alan’s Communities Dominate Brands blog is one of my must-reads these days.)
I linked to this paper on wicked problems the other day and Chris Corrigan commented “there’s a lot in that paper eh?”. Which is true.
I’m experimenting with marketing less and listening more

Lauren Collister defends emoticons and various other bits of linguistic shorthand against those who insist on the sanctity of language. I know I can be a language pedant tut-tutting the
