I wrote about potential business models for Twitter about a year ago, it generated [...]

No Amount Of Paid Lobbyist Dollars Can Prevent Content Revolution

By on July 25, 2009 in Branding/Buzz/Viral, Customer Experience, Email, Social Media

Brian Solis checked in with a guest post on TechCrunch this morning regarding the disclosure debate.

Danny Sullivan made a great reply to this Eric Clemons’ previous post on TechCrunch today. As you know, I’ve been pretty quiet here on my blog lately.
