From Doc Searls presentation:
we are not seats or eyeballs or end users or consumers. we are human beings - and our reach exceeds your grasp. DEAL WITH IT
-- Rage Boy
What if we could help vendors understand us instead of being herded like cattle into walled gardens and milked? What if we could manage our own data, our preferences across whole markets? What if what mattered most were our real intentions, rather than just our attention?Doc also had a wonderful Whitman quote from "Song of Myself" but unfortunately I didn't stop to write it down and didn't recognize it after re-reading the entire poem here.
-- Doc Searls in talk about Vendor Relationship Management
I love Whitman so the quote caught my attention. Searls has a knack for documenting our age in a spirit similar to Whitman.

The quotage comes from my own condensation of Whitman here.
The presentation itself should be up soon in .ppt form here.
Best,
Doc
