Notes From A Red Nose: Clown & Web 2.0
Excerpt
Web 2.0 has enabled anyone and any group to be as transparent as they want. This is most aptly scene in the Web 2.0 phenomenon of blogging. Blogging, or the act of writing blogs, is akin to writing an online journal for everyone else to read. Millions of blogs are created every day and many people are using them to share their darkest secret, to be open about their inner feelings, or just write about what they did today. In fact, many business coaches try and convince CEOs and business owners to blog as frequently as possible. Being transparent is the new “in” as it can create numerous competitive edges for businesses & companies both small and large. Wired magazine's cover for their April issue had the heading “Get Naked!” and Clive Thompson (the writer of that issue's feature article "The See Through CEO") has even written on his personal blog: "The only way to improve and buff your reputation is to dive in and participate. Be open. Be generous. Throw stuff out there -- your thoughts, your ideas, your personality."
