For Bataille the potlatch was essential, a sort of splendid splurge of the surplus. As I recall it's not negative in the way that contemporary eco critiques describe consumption, it's an integral part of any exchange based society.

Nice one Mike. I've been trying to wrestle with the same issues - http://theparallaxview.com/... My key take is that we need to make RSS sweet for the users, a must have that people will go out of their way to have even when we don't make it available.

Re: Fallacy of Twitter Authority Based on Followers

Yep, this hits the nail on the head Intuition and discernment are the best metrics - plus actual recommendations. I like the idea of niche Top 10s on specific topics such as the one I made here http://theparallaxview.com/...
However, what would be good too though, is being also able to grade in some way. Combining in with Twitter Grader could add numbers to the personal selection to good effect. http://twitter.grader.com/

I'm not so sure that personalisation is such an on/off issue that we can so safely say 'it doesn't work'. They key factor is scalability - how to make sure the user can make their experience personal while at the same time ensuring the needs of the Enterprise, especially those surrounding wide-needs and security, are met. And that aint easy, hence the slow adoption.

Re: Enterprise 2.0 Growth In Difficult Times? | SocialComputingMagazine.com

Wheat from chaff and all that, I really do think that the ROI of enterprise 2.0 will be tested, and found to deliver, in these economic climes. However, those vendors marketing vapourware will be found out pretty quickly! My concern is that that potential productivity increasing innovation will be squeezed out if the concerns over risk win out over those on potential opportunities. In this I think we need to maintain risk and not expect every new venture in social media and the enterprise to succeed - we are still to begin the main adoption cycle.
