David Armano over at Digitas is talking about the “conversation virus” in his Logic + Emotion blog. I particularly like this paragraph:

And so the conversation virus spreads. We didn’t start it. The authors of the Cluetrain Manifesto didn’t start it. If we are to give credit—it belongs to the first individual who decided to listen before choosing to speak (or grunt). Now all we have to do is unlearn some of the things we’ve been taught as professional adults and move forward.

David’s referring to a new and evolving dynamic, a roundabout way of communicating with audiences. It’s about listening, not about waiting for your next opportunity to speak.
