Pitch me, I must be dreaming. I just got pitched by a blogger...or at least a bobber. That crazy NPR guy who gets off slagging 30-second slops has been secretly plotting to take over the world.
I should have seen it coming when he interviewed me for his doomsday lead piece in Ad Age, affectionately titled, "The Chaos Theory" and other bedtime nightmares. (I'd give you a link, but it's behind a well-guarded wall) And I should most definitely have read the writing on the wall when he delivered his next body blow, titled "Listenomics"
So now I get an e-mail which directs me to "check out my latest post and then do what feels right". Fair enough...I will now comment on "Avian Flu Virus Mutates" Second thought, I think perhaps Bob was referring to his other article, "Listenomics: The Online Book Project Starts Now"
So here's my 2c: Garfield is writing the book you wish you were writing. He's doing it the way you wish you (and even me) were doing it. He's beating his fellow offline and even online correspondents, journalists and editors to the punch in the process. I just love the fact that the "creative guy" is the person leading the charge and revolution. If you think about it, that's the way it should be.
So am I supportive? Without question
Will his open-source experiment success? Who cares, but I certainly hope it does. Experiments are good.
Am I listening? YOU BET I AM (I always was)
PS Bob, any help/contribution/endorsement/etc you need, don't hesitate to shout
PPS How about a friggen' link back to my blog from yours? Oh I forget, yours isn't a real blog, right?
