I concede that my analysis is limited. My goal was not to be exhaustive, but rather to provoke some thought through illustrative examples. Clearly I succeeded in provoking a reaction, though admittedly not quite what I expected. In any case, you've succeeded in making me curious enough to check out your blog.

In any case, you’ve succeeded in making me curious enough to check out your blog.

Goldhaber Thu, 18 Dec 2008 22:22:59 +0000 http://thenoisychannel.com/?p=994#comment-1198 The above analysis is extremely limited, short-sighted and thus highly inaccurate. Most would-be attention receivers — on the Net as elsewhere — seek attention for its own sake, as in blogs, comments, listservs letters to the editor and the like. So do the majority of authors and artists, etc. So do people engaged in ordinary conversations. to miss all this is to miss almost everything. (See also my comment on the previous post.) I have discussed al this in many fora, including my blog. What you describe as the "Attention Market " is not very clearly defined nor thought out, I ma sorry to say.
