5 Euan's Phoric - The power of the personal

Euan's 3 choices reveal a difference of the new web that in my opinion be its most important value - that it gives each of us the power to offer up ourselves to the wider world. What we find is that when we reveal our selves rather than the person that we think we should be, amazing things come back to us.

Euan Semple is a pioneer blogger and user of social media. He worked for many years at the BBC where he was instrumental in getting social media understood and accepted.

What is quality on the web? Great question...and I love Euan's answer about telling stories. To which I would add that quality on the web is something about the delight in Euan's voice as he is talking about quality on the web. And the fact that I met him through our respective blogs, which to me is an essential marker of quality on the web - the power to bring people together to have real conversations, and to connect as friends.

Nice to hear all three of you, all of whom I call friend.

Thank you Web.

Yes we all met this way - my life took a wonderful turn for the better when I started blogging and you guys were among my first new friends - it was like going back to university again and meeting this greta bunch of people that I would never had met at high school

The quality of Peggy Lee's The Way You Look Tonight in mp3 format still floors me every time :-)

Great conversation. The point about just the best content is usually things having been thrown up there without too much thought - reminds me of Jimmy Cauty's quote "The best way to save your career is often to try to destroy it."
