As a daily reader of Seth's blog, it is not surprising that when I listened to his TED talk... there was nothing really surprising about what he said. I have seen many of his slides before and heard all of the ideas having read the book... and yet I still feel inspired by listening to it, and still look forward to tomorrow's post.
Drip, Drip, Drip
I think blogs are a great medium for non-fiction business or life lesson type discussions. You don't fight with an idea in isolation for ages and then find a publisher and then print... you just write. Over time the ideas develop and then maybe you put a book out, but your tribe already know and have participated in the development of the ideas.
I think the most powerful lesson of 'Tribes' and the most exciting part of the way technology has opened up communication is the ability for anyone who wants to spread their ideas to do it. If you are a musician... you can give your music away, if it is good it will spread. If you are a writer... you can publish your stuff for free, and if it is good it will spread. If you are an artist, you can let people give away digital copies of your work for free, if it is good... it will spread.
Great ideas spread... What's yours?
