"Retweeting your employer’s message on every channel has given rise to a new type of drone, the corporate digital troglodyte (CDT)" EXAMPLE: Confirmation bias is a short trip, from the echo chamber and is located at the corner of filter bubble and psychosis.  Employee and corporate communications have taken on all... 

DANCY EDICT TEN: You Happy Puppet – Your Augmented Digital Self(ish) EXAMPLE: It’s time.  Time to take a serious look at ego and the divergence of this mortal coil and your alternate reality in digital space-time.

Permission Economy "my faux digital relationships are guarded and the only way you will get my attention is by creating some WILDLY good content."

Not that sort of tablet... Is the IT Industry sleep walking through the REAL issues with BYOD? DANCY EDICT EIGHT: The BYOD “debate” is delusional.

DANCY EDICT FOUR: LinkedIn is a professional network, so act like one. EXAMPLE: LinkedIn has two elements, a professional digital curriculum vitae and a engagement system.

DANCY EDICT THREE: You don’t have a private life, so start using Facebook. EXAMPLE: Facebook in 2012 is part of the culture lexicon, just like the internet was in 2002.  To say you are NOT on Facebook in 2012 is disastrous.  People who avoided the Internet in the 90’s because of privacy concerns, just ended up looking foolish.
