Comments on: The world is flat: An evening with Chris Brogan and Julien Smith http://kellyhobkirk.com/social-media/the-world-is-flat-an-evening-with-chris-brogan-and-julien-smith/ Totally transparent branding and marketing musings Wed, 24 Mar 2010 19:51:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kelly Hobkirk http://kellyhobkirk.com/social-media/the-world-is-flat-an-evening-with-chris-brogan-and-julien-smith/comment-page-1/#comment-151 Kelly Hobkirk Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:01:28 +0000 http://kellyhobkirk.com/?p=290#comment-151 Great seeing you too, Howard. It is inevitable that people will see things differently. We all learn differently as well. That's what makes communities work. My grandma used to tell me that if everyone was the same it would be an awfully boring world. While I didn't learn anything new, the event did spark some thoughts, and those are among my favorite types of experiences. That's why I so highly recommend seeing them. Yes, perception is reality – that is what I love about the branding and marketing work I do, particularly when I can convince clients to leave all the 'spin' on the sidelines and have a real dialog. Take care. Great seeing you too, Howard.

It was great to see you again at the event. I've always thought it interesting when 5 people witness an accident in an intersection and the police report contains 5 completely different viewpoints of what they just observed Perspective is usually colored by their base of experience. Contrary to your commentary, I pretty much disagree with about all of your viewpoints. Isn't it great that you and I can still be friends and have a completely different experience at the same event. I will be posting my feelings on my blog soon. Why is this important as Chris and Julien would ask? Ultimately our perception is our reality. I did learn something new and I liked it. BTW... I don't think Andy Rooney should change a thing. And neither should you. Thanks for being "real". ...Howard Kelly… It was great to see you again at the event.
