Talk is Expensive




Clay Shirky, says in "Cognitive Surplus" that, “Privacy was once free. Publicity was once ridiculously expensive. “Now the opposite is true: You have to pay in a mix of cash, time, social capital, etc. if you want privacy.”

Let us not get too carried away with "Markets are Conversations". Market Conversations are only one type of Conversation, in the enterprise conversational prism.

The Enterprise response to control the outcome, range from total Social Media ban, to opening Social Media to specific departments, to establishing employee policies on Social Media usage.
Yet, none of these responses are adequate.

In order to avoid seeing every conversation as a nail, we need new tools, some without conversations, so that Enterprises could instrument relevant tools, pertinent to their context.


Genuineness and the Johari Window are not orthogonal.
