Secrets of the Annotated World

Boston-based Chris Brogan, one of the new leaders in the world of how to use communications in Web 2.0, has written a fascinating blog post, Secrets of the Annotated World.

There is a new form of communications out there that is active and growing each day, and defining online communications for tomorrow … and trust me, it’s going to impact your world. Here’s an excerpt from Brogan’s blog:

How Does This Impact You?
Services like Twitter and FriendFeed and Flickr and Facebook and LinkedIn and more are hosting conversations around you that might be of value to you. You can’t always tune in, but if you don’t even opt to build a PORTAL into these areas so that you can learn what’s being said, you’re missing out on information that might add to your business needs.
If you’re not using services like Yelp and BrightKite, (and you could name several others), you’re missing some of the glyphs and warnings we’re leaving on the landscape to tell you about the way things are versus the way things are marketed. You’re missing chance encounters. You’re missing stray opportunities.
Again, you don’t have to get involved. It’s just that we are, and we’re passing many more notes than you can imagine.
