Can't emphasize this enough.

ivaniston How to become Internet famous for $68

There are just too many pseudo-intellectuals in this planet. This guy Scott Steinberg was mentioned and so I went to his website to see that whether he is really a 'stay ahead of the curve' kind of guy. There is a video in his front page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C... and after reading the first comment I realized that it is indeed a fake video with no audience. There was pretty much no content in the video too.

And I see so many people claiming themselves to be futurists, leaders blah blah..
