“Since it has not within itself the means of drawing distinctions, nor the capacity to raise its substantive side into definite knowledge, independence of it is the first formal condition of anything great and reasonable, whether in actuality or in science. Of any reasonable end we may be sure that public opinion will ultimately be pleased with it, recognize it, and constitute it one of its prepossessions.” “In public opinion all is false and true, but to find out the truth in it is the affair of the great man. He who tells the time what it wills and means, and then brings it to completion, is the great man of the time. In his act the inner significance and essence of the time is actualized. Who does not learn to despise public opinion, which is one thing in one place and another in another, will never produce anything great.” Section 318, Philosophy of Right, Hegel, translated by S.W. Dyde. - Philip Sheldrake

"Looking forward to it Wadds. Following my post last night (http://bit.ly/8ZOndc) I’ve had a couple of d’s (if that’s the shorthand way to write “direct messages on Twitter”) asking me to clarify what we mean by “Semantic Web” and where this work might take us. I posted about just that topic mid-Feb as it happens: http://bit.ly/bTm1TF Best." - Philip Sheldrake

"Ted, too early for a full comparison... need to get my hands on both SAS SMA and Attensity... but one thing that sets SAS SMA apart from Attensity is integration with SAS' other analytical services.Web analytics to begin with, but they won't have missed the idea of linking the data together with retail analytics, CRM, BI etc. in the longer-term.Per my post today (http://bit.ly/bnKQOZ), this marks the start of Awesome Analytical Advantage!" - Philip Sheldrake

"Hi Freddie, A few comments on a few of the trends you present if I may: 1. Privacy People will NOT naturally change their attitude towards privacy imho, but upcoming generations may have different expectations than older generations. 2. Decentralised social networking I always ask delegates in my training sessions to name the largest social network, and the response has varied over the years from Friendster to Myspace to Facebook, when of course the answers is the WWW . Here’s to “A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web“ 6. Influence I see my presentation to Monitoring Social Media Bootcamp 2010 is just behind yours in the business section of slideshare.net this week http://www.slideshare.net/Sheldra... 9. Wave Definitely. Just as Facebook will rise and fall, so will Twitter… replaced by the open, distributed Wave. With you 100% on this one. Cheers." - Philip Sheldrake

Flying high with an alternative Chancellor So who would Britons really like to have seen presenting yesterday's Budget? Well, according to a poll conducted by MSN Money, Sir Richard Branson would be the ideal Chancellor, with the great beard polling slightly more votes than Vince Cable and Sir Alan Sugar, above. For the record, George Osborne and Alistair Darling got 8 and 7 per cent of votes respectively. - Philip Sheldrake

"Nice one Stephen. Here’s a related post I penned when frustrated at the lack of preparedness of recent graduates coming for interview at Racepoint. “Your first job in PR… questions you should prepare for and questions you should ask in the job interview” http://bit.ly/auOalM" - Philip Sheldrake

"Thanks for such a clearly articulated post… I had no trouble following your trail :-) So, as is becoming increasingly clear with the increasing inevitability of some kind of semantic web, the URI is where it’s at, not its URL offspring. I don’t see any reason why a link describing a ‘thing’ rather than a ‘location’ is any less able to provide the orientation users need and the full range of options as to what to do next (I nearly said “where to go next” then… but I would have meant where to go to find out more about the URL hyperlinked ‘thing’ in question of course). Tesco has begun to mark up some of its sites with RDFa (for example), although they have resisted the temptation to add a “thing crumbtrail” dynamically to the pages just yet. And as for a more concise name than “UX widgets that expose the location of the domain object in the ontology of things”, and given that “trail” is completely inappropriate now but that it’s equally useful to retain some atavistic reference,..." - Philip Sheldrake

"The reason / excuse I hear most often relates to time. "I don't have the time to post / tweet / comment / debate / converse."Which is a shame, because I'm sure those tomes on leadership rate communication quite highly. But I have a weakness of assuming that such responses must be translated as: "I don't know what I need to do exactly, and I sure as hell wouldn't know how to do it."" - Philip Sheldrake

"Hey Aza, We haven’t met, although I worked with the Mozilla Europe marketing team from 2003 until June last year. In fact my team won Best European Tech PR Campaign 2008 for the FF3 launch :-) I’d love to contribute to the work here. I too posted on the topic of privacy last week, albeit in the form of a new website at http://www.forgetweb.org. As for Mark’s comment above, ones like it are too numerous. But lucky for us we didn’t listen when many said the browser war was over." - Philip Sheldrake

"Made me smile, cheers! But I’m confused, why does the chap in the official looking blue coat insist his permission must be sought to film in a public place in the UK? Is this Iran?" - Philip Sheldrake

"Hi Deirdre, Just stumbled upon your blog, and I like it I was on a panel discussing the future of social Web analytics at last month’s Monitoring Social Media 09 (#msm09), at which I said the Wave protocol will be the death of Twitter. It’s about time micro-blogging grew up and left home. Why should micro-blogging be “owned” by Twitter shareholders, when we can all blog from a variety of platforms, servers and hosts yet still thread the conversation? At this juncture I had to remind the audience that anyone can host a Wave server… many thought it was all in Google’s backyard. It will (in a year or two) prove to be an awesome collaboration tool for PR and marketing, so long as you backup your Wave server or make sure your host is appropriately compliant. Talking of Twitter, just seen your tweets today about influence and engagement. You might then be interested in the Influence Scorecard initiative, and my last blog post on the topic, “How the Influence Scorecard radically transforms..." - Philip Sheldrake
