We are the supercool.
That’s not a smug or ego-stroking statement. It’s more a statement of celebration.
Why are we supercool?
We’re the conversationalists. We’re the network communities. We’re the end user champions. We’re helping to transform business into the way it’s meant to be played.
We’re the brand evangelists that the brands are listening to. We’re not the mouthpieces; we’re simply the words. But the words are being heard. We’re the provider and receiver of the eyeballs.
We’re the new storytellers and the old story sharers. We have a mass media appeal with a core media approach. We’re here to help and educate; we’re here to be helped and be educated. Our stories are the ones that are helping shape our needs and the people, and businesses, that want to meet them and meet us.
We’re no longer me; we’re now we.We’re no longer I; we’re now us.
We share; we learn; we teach; we absorb; we support; we offer; we respect; we build; we talk. Most of all, we converse.
We are at the dawn of the conversation age.
Isn’t that reason to be supercool?

Danny, this reminds me of a line I once heard in a paul Oakenfold track, something about “we are the dreamers of dreams, the movers and the shakers…. ”
I looked it up and the original seems to be a poem by Arthur O’Shaughnessy, which is actually still quite relevant:
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world’s great cities.
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion art empire’s glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song’s measure
Can trample an empire down.
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth.
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o’erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world’s worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

I wonder if the Oakenfold track was sampled from the old 90′s indie band Space Monkeys? That’s where I got the title from – curious.
Great poem as well, thanks for sharing it Bronson.
Now you’ve started soimething. I’ll see if can track down the original Oakenfold track… then we can put this ? to rest.

Definitely worth celebrating! Things are a changin’ for the better! Our voices are getting louder, our actions are creating bigger ripples, and our stories are finding more of the audiences they need.
Amen
