    Oh man – those are all great.

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, that’s a 10,000 word essay, right there.

    You’re fast turning into the Marcel Marceau of the blogosphere. :)

    Sam, I’m doing an internal presentation at my agency on trends in consumer-generated content, including client fears. Would it be okay for me to use a couple of these with proper attribution?

    Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoy the toungue and cheek approach, but does any of this come from actual data? Or is this just for kicks

    Either way, it certainly is entertaining –twitter and blogs for sure

    Great charts. Provides a good chance to think about what slice of the pie I’d fall in. And, then try to get myself to one I want to be in.

    The very best one is “Use Apple” and “Love Apple”

    Even if you leave out any negative comments about Microsoft, those that actually try Apple do love it. I’m one of those people. I wished I’d made the switch a very long time ago (I bought my powerbook in August 2005).

    Very great! Very realistic!
    A question : is it possible to use for my presentations about WEB 2.0 ?
    Thanks a lot!
