Digital Marketing And Social Media PR – The Future Buzz

For nearly 5 years now, I’ve written for The Future Buzz at a frequency of about 2-3 posts a week (and been publishing online for more than 8 years). I blog for the same reasons as one of my favorite authors Mitch Joel: my love of writing and my love of sharing.

A Doonesbury comic strip is being withheld from some US newspapers due to the content within it. Except, Doonesbury (and his message) wins even if the strip isn’t run on dead trees.

My friend Gini Dietrich (who we featured in our latest digital marketing blogs list) recently published a post sharing 10 content ideas.  But that’s not actually what I want to talk about today.

The web (and marketers in particular) continue to obsess over real-time. It is put on a pedestal by many who fall victim to the trap that they have to see everything new, now or that is only way web communities work.

While I don’t think we suffer from information overload, I actually think we suffer from a more sinister problem. Curator overload. Not good curators like Robert Scoble or Jason Kottke. Those guys are worth their weight in gold.

Our community continues to improve posts here with their intelligent comments. For context to new subscribers, we’ve been sharing thought-provoking comments back to all readers as an ongoing series.
