I appreciate your desire to be credited for your work, and I apologize if my failure to so slighted you. In any case, I used the words "attention economy" in a sense based on my understanding of Herb Simon and with no knowledge of your work. I do see now that the Wikipedia entry includes your work in the references. Michael, thanks for your comment.

Goldhaber Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:15:27 +0000 http://thenoisychannel.com/?p=983#comment-1196 It is incorrect to state that Herb Simon introduced the idea of the Attention Economy in his 1971 remarks that were not followed up. An economy involves not only scarcity but desire, in this case the desires for others' attention. I introduced both the words "Attention Economy " and the full hypothesis in 1987, with no knowledge of Simon's remarks. It would be reasonable to credit me.
