Is Social Media Making People Hyper-Competitive?

You might call it “keeping up with the eJones‘” in a way. Take FourSquare for example…the more you “check in” to a place the greater a chance you can become “Mayor” until someone unseats you.

Turning paid, earned and owned media upside down

I really liked something Russell said a while back about revisiting old talks, seeing what he got wrong and where he disagrees with himself.
