A Partially Definitive But Slightly Abstract Guide To Why Blogs Are So Successful

I'm hitting on "If Blogs are the Songs, RSS is the Home-made Compilation CD." So does that mean the community that emerges from blogs is a remix?

So does that mean the community that emerges from blogs is a remix?I love it when metaphors get taken to an illogical conclusion, but yes... kinda, but I'd prefer to think as the participants all being remixers, active creators and shapers rather than consumers.
I like the idea of being an idea pirate.
"If It's Not Documented, It Really Doesn't Exist", well ok but let's qualify this somewhat. There is no technological solution to KM, but there are information handling processes and work practices that can make available in a 'messy way' information that individuals can know and develop understanding from.
Finally circling back to here. Yes, it was taking the metaphor too far, but it was FUN! And if we are all the remixers, it can be potentially a powerful and creative medium.
I love the spirit and humor of this post. My favorite is Reflection is the new black. It reminds me of one of my favorite sales stories. A friend of mine worked in the upscale shoe department of a major department store. When the new spring shoes came in there was a pair of red shoes. The sales associates were trained to say ' red is the newest neutral.' At first my friend laughed thinking she'd never be able to say that with a straight face. But soon she was on the sales floor, a customer picked up the red shoe and expressed concern about the color...my friend recited her lines...you can wear it with everything..red is the newest neutral. With that, the customer bought the shoes and my friend learned her most important lesson in sales.
