Goodness, he does enjoy the sound of his own voice.
What a generalised piece of claptrap!

Agree. The various writeups of the conference make it clear that there was a lot of very valuable material presented, but this is vague nonsense. "Social media will define the 21st century". Pffffffff.

Load of cliched nonsense. And what's your POINT? Rambling, unqualified, message-free. Did anyone actually learn anything from this?
I, I, I, I. Who cares? This guy is like most other social media 'experts' - unproven postulation with limited practical application and no proof or logic behind the sensationalism.
