Selective Amnesia

A partial reading of Tipping Point

Yes, I know. The book – Tipping Point – is old. I should have read it about 4-5 years ago.
Anyway, reading it, I thought of something.
The Mavens, the Connectors, the Salesmen, are all very pre-blogging, definitely pre-web2.0, animals. (Though, that is a result of the tipping point.) You see, bloggers, all of us, are connectors rolled into mavens rolled into salesmen. True, some of us are more connectors than others (I am) and some of us are more mavens than connectors or more mavens than salesmen, but the fact is, we are all, all three.

Which leads to an interesting thought (for me at least). How do you reach a tipping point on the web in this – the Web2.0, big buttons, cascading style sheets and I have a facebook and orkut and ryze and linkedin profile – world of ours? How do I use this maven+connector+salesman blogger better? When do I use the maven part of a blogger and when the salesman part?

Sounds like another post in the making.
