Steve Gillmor's Infopipe RotoRooter

ATTENTION Kmart Shoppers! ATTENTION! You have the ability to TRANSFER your attention to yourself, your attention is attended by your attention of the data creation of the attention attenders. You can pay attention to whomever you wish, just make sure it is me, and then you will receive attention meta-mega-big-gulp-data value in return.

In this new war, the Attention War, AttentionRust will be a good thing for anybody who migrates along with users to a new paradigm, we need attention against the creative spirit crush in a sea of non-attentioned mediocrity and lowest common denominator accrued-reputational-value independent automated-replicating synchronized attention-recorded metadata.

And Office is dead. Dead. Dead. Like Office Dead, except for the AppleJAXy Web Office Live that Ray Ozzie and I think is the future. Office is dead, but Office Live is not dead.

What a bunch of baloney, Nick Carr. What a bunch of baloney, Andrew Keen, what a bunch of baloney, what a bunch of baloney.

When Robert Scoble reported on our lucid dreaming late night conversation after the Berkeley meat-up, I seriously panicked when I realized he had really gotten what I've been talking about with regards to attention. Then I calmed down, figuring he'd forget it all after a good night's sleep. Wrong. It finally took. 3,000 times is truly a charm.

How much disruption could a disrupter disrupt if a disrupter could disrupt disruption, assuming the disruption was actually disruptive and the disrupter was aware of the disruptive disruption?

CONTROL COMMAND TRANSFER AND THINK BUZZWORD STUFF UP MAKE MEANING OUT OF THEM SEE IF WORTH DECIDE VALUE. ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
