You're right, discussing mode of perception is off topic. Forgive me: the article you introduced is filled with technical stuff... I'd rather think of what the applications of all that technical stuff might be.

If the topic is attempting to figure out some long term strategies, the use of "feelings" tactics, like a bunch of friendly posting, trackbacking, and commenting bloggers interacting with each other through adult blogs in an uninhibited manner, seems very web 2.0 AND marketing friendly. No?

Since OTB was brought up, imagine how much publicity FetishClub could gain if Simon was jived in a public blog-o-sphere as much as he is in those private webmaster chats. Doubtless, it would be entertaining if the surfers to learned how to play along too.

All that friendly banter/debate/play becomes the unique "database" that's valuable, rather then the "I have a blog script" part. And posts become more easily exportable in an emotional sense so surfers/viewers are more likely to spread the content for you.

Or maybe I'm just not getting what this thread is all about.
