Today In Twitterverse: The Echo Chamber Is Growing L-L-L-Louder-r-r-r

As you can see from the exchange below, two professional writers acknowledge that the collective “we” may be spending too much time talking to ourselves in today’s echo chamber of choice.

April 14, 2011 By David Burn

Jeremy Bullmore, a non-executive director of WPP, gave a speech to Kraft executives in 1972 that could easily be given again today, for the themes are universal. Here’s a small slice of what Bullmore, Creative Director at JWT/London at that time, said: The consumer “doesn’t absorb messages: he responds to stimuli.” In other words, every […]

April 12, 2011 By Dan Goldgeier
