Fighting breaks out amongst US blogging intelligentsia
July 25, 2007 at 9:05 am
Blog skirmishes have taken place between Stowe Boyd and Linda Stone.
Background so far: Linda Stone came out with a theory of Continuous Partial Attention in 2002. You can read more on her site.
Stowe makes Reboot presentation on his theory of Flow - to which I would subscribe. You can read my take on it here.
Since then, Linda Stone posted her response to Stowe’s Reboot 9 talk on someone else’s site, she left a comment there addressed to Stowe, that was a bit of a mistake I think. Why not address him directly?
But I’m not too sure whether I like Stowe’s dogmatic response in which he says he understands her better than she understands herself. (Youch). Stowe ends by drawing a clear line between those who are in his tribe and those who are not. His references to baby boomers previously in this post infer that those who are not are a bunch of old timers who don’t really matter anyway.
And here’s an intelligent comment from a reader of Stowe’s blog.

Hey. Thanks for the link. I note that since that little squabble, Stowe’s been beating on Andrew Keen instead (probably a more deserving target).
