They are goof balls, or ahead of their time or some other word that makes them stranger than fiction. This makes them scary people to many of the corp. drag queens that are “Leading” the innovative change.
All I can say, is “The best job in the world is working with the right people, putting tools into the hands of ordinary people and working together to make it happen.” It is as humble as can be, to know that as crazy as we may be, when we look back, the changes came from many people that did not have degrees, did not lead the world, government or state. But came home everyday try to make things work.
Thanks for the posts and comments.

Truly intriguing. But you are right, of course. Some of the most innovative (and creative) people I have ever met have never touched a computer. Sometimes innovation is simply applying your domain knowledge to a different industry. And I have a feeling that this “social media” thing will become a whole lot more interesting when there is a serious alignment between (say) a financial/health services company and a good SM team/strategist/tools.

Just because someone knows how to fill in the little oval next to a candidate’s name in the voting booth doesn’t mean they’re suitable for the presidency.
