It's interesting to watch David Weinberger re-examine and reconsider his original Clutrain thoughts. This is a case in point: not long ago he would have said (and did say) "markets are conversations" and leave us a bit in the lurch understanding what that meant. Now he says "markets are networks" - an improvement, and he expands on it in this post. But it brings new questions: how do you deal with non-alignment of interests? What does "authenticity" really mean? What about scale (because, contra Weinberger, most networks (including the internets) are not scale-free). And we have to return again to the conversation - but not as a euphemism, but in a serious and informative way, the way I tried to do yesterday.
