POPSBuilding trust through transparency this is such an important idea...i think it speaks to a major shift in society - people are demanding openness and straight talk over carefully worded spin. the most immediate ramifications will apply to politicians and corporations, but i think it speaks to a very large change that is still in its very early stages.

POPSThe Energy Technology Revolution Tom Friedman is so right (shocker) about this. I find it to be insane that this is not THE ISSUE of the presidential election. T. Boone Pickens gets it. Tom Friedman gets it. Europe and Asia seem to get it. When will Washington get it???

POPSMicrosoft goes after iPod with an Argo (clip-size) Ok, i'm honestly posting this clip to try to make a point. Anderson previously posted this clip which contained the entire article this clip came from. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/8D628B21-E43C-4C31-82A1-0CFA956B98D7/ I've written a bunch lately about my thinking that clips need to be a certain size ("clip-size") in order to make the site effective for everyone. Curious what you all think. Anderson, no disrespect meant at all. I think your clips are very interesting. Just honestly looking to get feedback from people about an issue i see being critical to clipmarks' future.
