That got me into iTunes and found out other podcasts, which led me to This Week in Tech which lead me to Twitter.I'm not sure if I'm even "aware" of Wordpress now. I understand it to be blogging software that you can install on your website, but I guess I've not explored it anymore.Anyway, back to your point, I would agree with you that you can't force an "uncool" product onto influence leaders and then have that forced onto the masses, for example, newspaper/tv journalists could be regarded as influential people, and lots of time is devoted to telling us about new cool products, and our houses aren't yet filled with them.But a "cool" product/service like twitter got around to my family members through me getting my brother on board, and he apparently got my mom on just last night. Assuming you count me as "influential". Funny, I had “heard” of podcasts when I heard that iTunes was supporting them, but didn’t adopt them till Rush Limbaugh started doing it on his radio show.

I’m not sure if I’m even “aware” of WordPress now. I understand it to be blogging software that you can install on your website, but I guess I’ve not explored it anymore.

When I began in the workforce, if the boss got up and told you to do something, you just did it. Now, if that happens, you would just look at each other and say, "Who's this guy think he is?" The phrase, "I sign your checks", won't answer it and doesn't cut it anymore. People want what they do to be relevant to their passions. Trickle down is dead.
