I have a job that involves sending a lot of semi-spam written in thick businessese. I try to work the term "thought leader" into every email.

beelzbubba, here's an alternate article by a different author that I found while looking at this author's link that seems to have some overlap

In retrospect, a better FPP might have been one discussing various thoughtleaders on curation. Wanna flag it for me?

I will not be curated like a canned ham!

Huh? What? Well, why didn't somebody TELL me?

From the 2nd link infini posted:

"On Twitter, however, the link — especially when it is literally a linked URL — is very much extricable, so we’ll have to invent a new model of “archiving” if we are really to preserve the full dimension, context, and cultural significance of these information nodes."

Er, everyone who read the Suck's archive back in 2000 knew that.
