I wholeheartedly agree. It's been fascinating to watch how we as a society have so quickly changed behaviors. I think there will always be a place for "professional" journalism, but that role is diminishing in influence almost daily. Thanks, John. I wholeheartedly agree.

But I agree that we don't want or need these folks. We are liberating ourselves from the views of the experts. Knowledge is not just passe; it interferes with the freedom to create a powerful blog, post, or comment. Facts are fetters. Now, let's go out and change the world!

Basically, everyone can't do this well. Anyone can attempt to be a great writer etc..., but it takes more than this to actually succeed. Nuance, branding, story telling, marketing, and the new public relations are not easy tasks to master. I would still suggest consulting with those who have made a career out of these endeavors for a pulse check, advice, and some constructive criticism. - <a href="http://www.jeffpedone.com" target="_blank">www.jeffpedone.com</a> While I agree with the thrust of this post, I would challenge the assumption that all executives should see themselves as writers etc… Basically, everyone can't do this well.
