Having collaborated on the first “Age of Conversation” book, I saw the opportunity to help write the second edition as a method for launching the idea of a conversation on social media a step forward. Last year, my chapter titled “It Is Not Enough To Simply Listen,” focused upon the need for brands to embrace the participation element of online conversation. This year, I chose to take the long view of persistent interaction and forecast the ramifications of the trail of digital artifacts we distribute over time.
An interview conducted in Second Life with my friend, Duc Ly
Ryan Barrett over at at CheapThrills offered to collect quotes from authors’ submissions. I wanted to post the quote from my article, titled, “A Trail of Digital Breadcrumbs,” here at Collaborative Ideation.
A Trail of Digital Breadcrumbs
The Age of Conversation II
” … every observable action is an artifact of who we are and how we interact with the world. By making public our hearts and minds in the language of shared data, we have the potential to not only interact with the present; we may at some point converse with the future.”
As a release date draws closer, I will share the news. I look forward to reading the full submissions written by the rest of the authors this fall.
