Giggle of the Day: Stupidity with an RSS feed

Brilliant post by Doc Searls, "Because buildings can't dance", sorting out the conceptual metaphors we use to explain blogging.

Earl Gilmore, the first tech client of my old ad agency (way back around the turn of the 80s) had an employee policy manual with two pages in it. Page 1 said "Rule #1: Use good judgement."

Read the whole thing. He demolishes the twin furphies of "blogger power" and "blogger unfair dismissals" with consummate elegance.
