Comments on: ‘The Numerati’ Author Stephen Baker on Social Media and the Demise of BusinessWeek at SMC Boston http://techprgems.com/2010/06/the-numerati-author-stephen-baker-on-social-media-and-the-demise-of-businessweek-at-smc-boston/ Conversations about PR, social media, technology and marketing -- with a special focus on the social media community in Greater Boston Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:52:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim Allik http://techprgems.com/2010/06/the-numerati-author-stephen-baker-on-social-media-and-the-demise-of-businessweek-at-smc-boston/comment-page-1/#comment-1244 Tim Allik Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:35:32 +0000 http://techprgems.com/?p=2364#comment-1244 Thanks Todd, I updated the post with your link. Thanks also for all the work you do for SMC Boston. Stephen tweeted my post. Folks can follow him at @stevebaker on Twitter. I hate the word "tweeted" by the way. It's indicative of the infantilization of American culture that's been around since baby pacifiers first made the rounds at 90s rave parties. That was before mobile phones became ubiquitous. Now people use their mobile phones as pacifiers - social pacificers - so they don't need the plastic kind that leach endocrine disruptors. So I guess there's a bright side to everything.
