This is a typical 'cluetrain' (sorry, #cluetrain) motherhood statement, sounding righteous and wise - of a piece with 'we need a new politics of meaning' - something of a meme, perhaps: the politics of memeing.

Not to pick on cluetrainers (cluetrainees?): it's typical IT evangelist blather, full of weasel sound & fury, etc - ie, they're all doing it. But this one stands out for its quick dissolve into self-cancelation and general meaninglessness.
