As my frequent readers know, I am *passionate* about opening up the Social Web. I believe it is vitally important for the billion or so users of the Web today (and the billions more to come) that we *not* end up with the “walled garden” model, which denies people control of and access to their personal data and content.
We’ve made great progress in the past year, but how to do we take it to the next level? How do we step up our game?
For the answer to that question, I drew inspiration from the man shaking up the wine industry by embracing social media to democratize wine tasting, Gary Vaynerchuck. His Wine Library TV show rocks, and shows how to seize the tools available to us today to get the word out.
And so, on Thursday, I went into a conference room at Plaxo headquarters, along with David Recordon and Joseph Smarr, two digital camcorders, two microphones, a stellar production crew of Redgee Capili and Trevor Gattis. (With graphics/design support from Michael Rowley.)
The result?
A pilot episode called “Talk to or lawyers…bitch!”
Let me know what you think.
