Chris Brogan when interviewed by Guy Kawasaki on How To Change The World introduced as using “social media like podcasting and videoblogging to build relationships”. Those relationships are certianly being built in the Twitter, Facebook and yes even Jaiku.

Out of these conversations I have noticed an increase in the amount of Video Content being created over at Operator11 most notably of which are the following shows.

Coffee Break with CAFN8ED

An open discussion every day ( 5pm my time ) with Adam and Mike picking topics and conversational points open for discussion.

YogiFish: The Morning Mix

Yogifish talk about life and hapiness and social issues and opens the camera for comments and views and positions from the audience.

Phil Campbell The Gravity and o2 Social Ninja

Tech talk , gadget natter and putting the social media world to rights one webpage at a time. Phil is prolific and invested in the content and the production value, I doff my hat to this guy.

Johnny GoldStein

The micromedia mogul, comedian and talk show host with regular guests and conversational topics Johhny if the first of the real Flatlist Celebrities.

Mal Burns: Second Life

Conversations and content for the Second Life communit with Mal Burns and Tara Yeats.Of course there is always my personal favourite

Warzabidul : Twittervox.

The show about the conversations.

The se conversations are growing and people are moving from talking points to talking heads. It is getting easier to create and share interesting and engaging content and its not going to be long before the advertisers and sponsors realise that the audience has long since stopped listening to one message and is instead creating its own content and conversations.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for tuning in.

Theres been a few things bugging me about Internet life lately. Actually there is a lot bugging me lately but thats not the reason for my writing this but it is the reason for the big gap in writing. But I digress ( and how unusual eh !)

Now here is a little excercise for you the reader. Goto your Wallet, purse, bill fold or whatever and extract some Paper currency and look at it. Take your time to examine it and consider it and feel it. Really look at your money in your hands and look at what work and time and effort has gone into creating what is at once a work of art and also a promise.

Your money like mine may have a phrase which goes something like “Promises to pay the bearer” its signed or  sealed by an appropriate member representing a banking community who provide and underwrite the value of that currency.

A large amount of work has gone into the production of that currency to provide mechanisms which reduce on fraud and counterfeiting and embezzlement.  Similarly the Currency has been “backed up” and “authorised” by a Bank to define its value.

Now if like me your online and your using the internet for a very large proportion of your day and life then you may also have a online banking or deposit account in which money is “stored”.  Why not go online and look at the site and the design and the little field which represents your “money”.  Can you see , is it obvious, is there anywhere on those little figures where some bank or group or goverment is making a “Promise to pay the bearer” ? Is there anything which shows a history of attempting to protect you from fraud , embezzlement and counterfeiting ?  I dont believe I have seen anything to this affect.

This is not a post about fraud its a post about promises, I wonder where I can locate the “promise to pay” on all my electronic currency for the future.

Your thoughts welcome and thanks for reading.
