Gigi - I enjoyed the read of this article on the Guy Swann pod. "Tipping" you here as a thank you. Do you have more recommendations that would help me wrap my head around this "busking" concept that you are relating to online media? I think that could be the answer to the honest critique I made of Value for Value here:
Although I think Adam Curry has been critical of the verbiage of "tipping" as it relates to value for value, I think it fits what you are talking about. I also think the entertaining way that Curry shills for BOOSTS is a perfect example of a great street performers' showmanship, albeit with much greater potential (as you are street performing for the world).
