Jon Udell's "Aha" Moment

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

At Syndicate, Jon Udell relates his "aha" moment about social media. He was working on a cover story, and wanted to locate various experts. Instead of telephoning around, he realized that the agenda for the story wasn't proprietary, so he posted it via a bunch of mail lists, and the experts showed up. His epiphany: the open research model changes the way that researchers/writers work at a profound level.
