Great Conversation with a Bunch of Geeks

A big group of geeks was sitting around in Chris and Ponzi Pirillo’s new basement last night talking about social media and why businesses should care.

Robert said that bloggers are “spitters” who spray pieces of information to lots of other people when we open our mouths. And just like spitting in public is a great way to spread disease, virtual “spitting” is a great way to spread information.

And of course social networks like Facebook and MySpace make it easier to “spit” information with sharing features and bulletins. You don’t even have to be a blogger anymore to spit.

And of course, the next wave of this whole phenomenon is the interoperability phenomenon. Even your non-blogging customers will have giant megaphones to address the world without starting their own blogs.

More disintermediation in the works!
