Think Tank Nominations – October 08

ThinktankPOTM

After a successful inaugral Post of the Month, it's time to open nominations for the best post for the month of October. To remind you, this is about recognising the good writing and
thinking so please nominate your own
favourite posts from the past month by leaving a comment on this post with a link to the post
you're nominating and also, please spread the word to encourage more nominations. Anything broadly concerned with the subjects discussed everyday in the 'plannersphere', as long as it was posted in the month of October (other vague rules here). Nominations will close in a few days, following which I will open it up for the vote. I'll be twittering the odd update as we go.

To get us started. I have picked out 4 of my own favourite posts below. As before, difficult to narrow it down but here's my starter for ten:

An Interesting Day – Rob Campbell's post and presentation for the inaugral PSFK Asia conference. "Why the future for brands is about creating fate, not just about creating ads."

The User Is The Destination Now – David Cushman's post and presentation for the Widget Web Expo

Myth of The Near Future – Faris's not quite new (but good) video

Baudrillard, Economics and the Death of Reality from Noah Brier

More nominations in the comments below please…

    Any presentation with a photo of Andrew Ridgley and George Michael in bathing trunks under the banner ‘COLLABORATION’ HAS to take my vote.

    Thanks for the nomination, by the way. Also thanks for sharing re my book. Just for info; i’ve found it’s actually cheaper for the paperback version than I first thought: Just £2.30 via Lulu (£3.98) from other retailers.

    It's a planning fundamental but adliterate's post on the Power of Emotion is a great refresher for all in a day where tactics, tools and rational arguements abound.

    Jesus – don't put me in the same league as those other folk, it's possibly the biggest insult they'll ever have.

    But thank you – it makes a change from being nominated for evil shit of the day.

    PS: When the video of my preso comes out on the PSFK site, I'm going to get slaughtered for what I said about the Wham pic. Every now and then things come back into my head about that day and it's not a pretty memory!

    I thought this was a really measured take on the whole Obama thing…that it wasn't just longtail/social media madness but how he used the new stuff -and- the old.
