I’m Arguing on the Internet!
(Mother would be so proud.)
I have joined the discussion on vital topics of the day. The nice fellow at Crossing Marketing and IT drew my wrath in a post about ditching cable to save money by getting all his media needs via the seductive teat of the Internet. As so many have pointed out throughout history, when the cost is free, you get what you pay for.
Then I took the usually incisive Bob Garfield to task for his rather blind devotion to the cult of social media. His typically amusing post about a marketing fiasco by T.G.I. Friday’s seemed to jump to a much too simple conclusion, i.e., the customer is always right, especially when said customer is online. I have a different take.
That said, I do recommend Mr. G’s book, The Chaos Scenario for its insight into the current, well, chaos. A must-read for knowledge workers and Internet drudges alike.
Now back to keeping those kids off my lawn…
