Nobody paid attention a couple of years ago - and still they aren’t.
There are going to be some very bad outocomes on this one. Very Bad.
Yes - I’m talking about Uber - again!
You don’t often see truth in straplines but I just did …

Nearly 3 years old … but important.
”Everyone, we’re changing everyone,
you name them all,
we’ve had them here,

I’m sorry - sometimes you just have to say it - because if you don’t - well did it happen?

Our fourth Newsletter just dropped. The focus this week .. People!

Finally, for a while now, I have been writing about why we should stop using the word 'Content' to describe our ”book, novel, short story, article, white paper, promotional piece, advert, painting, sculpture, song, opera, photograph …. you get the point.
This week Om Malik and Khoi Vinh have both written about that very topic. Personally delighted if finally this message is catching on and

🎵 @Jacob I was going to do this anyway - but I decided it had to be today because it is @macgenie ’s birthday and she said that what she wanted for her birthday is to call out and respond to others, so …. great work.
Your new blog Musicians on Micro.Blog is a wonderful addition to the growing network of services being built around Micro.Blog. It is now fully tied into Just Good Music with a link in the top menu and interesting also to see the overlap of contributors to both worlds.
Thanks also to @manton - not just for Micro Blog - but his call out this morning to the musical direction of Micro Blog. None of us know for sure who listens to what we say and write - but somehow, I do sense that when @manton posts - people read :-)
One final call out to my co-conspirator on JGM - @JoeJenett Without his work - there would be no web mentions running back and forth between our various sites and the @JustGoodMusic account - GREAT WORK.
If you write a Newsletter you might want to be added to the list of Micro Bloggers that have a Newsletter … early days yet - let me know if there are other links / info that you think might be useful to include.

If I go somewhere for a couple of weeks .. I am visiting there. If I co somewhere for a couple of years … I am living there.
When does ‘a visit’ turn to ‘a live’? What are the rules?

Just a ‘clue’ … re-discovered as I was searching for something to do with manifestos and respect between people in the online world. I know O’Reily did something back in 2007 - I think @dave did something more recently.
Any and all help and direction welcome.
