What a Character
Seth Godin, having discovered RSS just a few weeks ago, is now ready to proclaim that RSS is part of the new litmus test to distinguish between digerati and the lumpen. Most people I know who fit his litmus test would not fit my concept of ‘digerati’, though, so it goes to show that such stratifying definitions are rather vainglorious. Like “high IQ societies” or “luxury homes”, such labelsare meaningless without their accompanying subjectivemetrics (and if you supply the metrics, the label is pointless).
And I think that using Microsoft as a whipping-boy went out of fashion in 1997 for the true digerati; Seth needs new fashion advisors!
