Steve,

Thanks- for coming by– I wished I could have attended your session, it probably would have answered my questions before posting this. Your response here is the reason why I didn’t (originally) call anyone out for saying or thinking things I wasn’t sure of, and instead posed it as a question (or a wondering).

My fear is, people will still take this and make it about the toys. Actually I would bet money on it.

By the way, we just missed crossing paths– we were both on Aaron Strout and Jennifer Leggio’s Quick-n-Dirty podcast at the BlogTalkRadio booth (I was right before you and stood nearby with some other folks), but you were off before I could turn and say hello– next time…

Thanks Doug. Wish you were there. I presented an approach and strategy, which the tools support. I always say its about the trends, not the toys. :-)

Bryan,

I did not attend Steve Rubel’s session, but I did hear talk about it. sounds like we are in agreement that hub and spoke works when approached with the right attitude. I do still have concerns that the way Steve presents things is in the context of tools rather than messages.
