Thanks for the insight Stephens.Me? I'm a digi-cool. I try digital stuf because it's cool, but then the stuff that isn't a tool to me will slide away. It has be useful to stick for me.

Hi Scott, thanks for the response For me digital is a vast tool or even toolkit – with digital the possibilities seem infinite – there are more tools in digital for a content strategist and than there are hammers, screwdrivers and drills on the shelves of B&Q – for folks like me, incorrigible enthusiasts (Briggs-Myers ENFP Enneagram 7) the possibilities for self-improvement are at our finger tips – I love it – how about you Scott, cool or tool?

Thanks MattIt is indeed the case that too many are copying each other, rather than seeking to translate from the digtialls to the digicools, in my opinion.Theres massive opportunity, but we get blinded by the shining lights of ego that are full of internet celebrity promise, but are actually empty words!Scott

It wasn't one particular thing that intrigued me, it was the post as a whole. The points about the widening of the gap between those in the know and those that use technology without fully understanding it. I also like your point about the “copycat behaviour”. This is also true with blogs. It seams that when one person write about a certain topic and it becomes popular then the following week a multitude of new posts pop up mimicking the first successful one.

Great post – made me think I confess: I'm a digital media pupil – no guru – my iPhone and Mac are full of soft things and I'm designing, producing and marketing a suite of iPad apps called iglimpse – not sure where this puts meThought leadership? – yes some and this involves layering what I learn about digital media onto the publishing, marketing and content management skills it has taken me 25 years to apprehend – s – if I can use what I know and what I can layer on top and help somebody achieve their goal faster then I'll be happy – where does that put me? It doesn't matter what I think — in this game, it's what others think that matters
