Post Of The Month – April 2011 – Nominations

ThinktankPOTM1
OK, so time to nominate your favourite posts that you have read, and that were posted in the month of April, for Post Of The Month. Please do so in the comments below. As always, I've listed a few starters below and once I have a good selection I'll stick them all up for a vote. You may notice I've included two posts from Ben as one nomination, which I've done not only because they are follow on posts but also in reflection of the linked comments/conversation around them both. OK, so my starting three are:

There Are Two Types Of People In The World by Chris Dixon

Do We Really Need Chief Innovation Officers in Ad Agencies? and Ten Things I've Found To Be True About CIO's in Agencies by Ben Malbon

Advertising Is Not The Thing That You Do. It's The Story Of The Things You've Done by John Willshire

Please do nominate your own favourites in the comments below.

    Phil Dearson’s post – What Is Digital?
    http://phildearson.com/what-is-digital
    Short(ish) but profound.
    I defy you not to amend your stock answer to “What is digital?” as a result of reading this.

    Neil,
    I’d nominate:
    Russell Davies WIRED UK column, “What We Need is a Non-Conference.” http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2011/05/ideas-bank/russell-m-davies-what-we-need-is-a-non-conference
    He’s got a great section in there that points out how we’ve built a culture around conferences that undermines their purpose:
    “I’m sitting at the back of a conference right now. It’s dark, except for the massive screen on the stage and everyone’s laptops. If you landed from space you’d think we were here to worship screens. You’d be right.”
    I also nominate:
    Edward Boches’ post, “Social Media and Responsibility.” http://edwardboches.com/social-media-and-responsibility
    He offers some good questions about the ethics of engaging as a brand and with brands over social media.

    Rick Leibling’s essay “The Culture Singularity Paradox,” is the most interesting cultural essay I’ve read in the last ten years. It posits that back in 1986 a combination of technology evolution, music and urban culture combined to create a massively integrated, unstructured culture that now is so powerful it is unpredictable. As a result we’re seeing the rise of trends, memes and stars that no one can predict: http://bit.ly/jl166C
