Megaphone Guy
So what do we do with Megaphone Guy
He’s not the smartest person at the party
Or the most experienced
Or the most articulate
But he’s got that megaphone
Megaphone Guy
Some are agreeing with him, some disagreeing
But because he’s so loud
The conversations will begin to react
to what he’s saying
As he changes topics, so do they
If he continually uses the phrase
’At the end of the day’
They start using it too
It’s our users who control what they see
Old technologies get confused with new ones
Making money, making money, making money
His main characteristic is his dominance
He crowds the other voices out
But who can publish information to the web?
His rhetoric becomes the central rhetoric
Because of it’s unavoidability
Post Original Content
Unavoidability, unfortunately, milliseconds
When you use a search engine, unavoidability
You will also find what is called
User generated content
We consider speech to be the result of thought
But thought also results from speech
As we grope in words towards meaning
We discover what we think
The number one thing we do is give people a voice
This yammering guy has
by forcibly putting his restricted language
into the heads of the guests
put an intelligence ceiling on the party
Right, right
Thank you so much for articulating our
business model
So what do we do with Megaphone Guy
I mean, he’s here
And it pops you into the content itself
One thing I think you try to do is not be him
Which we all
Are
