It’s no secret that I am a fan of Dave Winer and Mr Scoble-why-because I have been on the Mortal Coil 73 years and have a clear conscience HEH
Mortal coil is a poetic term that means the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned, most famously in the phrase “shuffle[d] off this mortal coil” from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. (For more context of the phrase, see To be, or not to be.

Every time I make a comment that Geeks due to their education can only communicate machines not people I get a few angry emails-I was banned from a site because I posted some information about Edelman Digital in the WRONG ROOM-How I found out was that one of their People in the UK – an Island drowning in Guiness sent me a Twitter calling me a Spammer-I then saw the Geeks on the site wetting their pant’s discussing evil me ,adding content to the wrong place they never sent me any direct message just eliminated me from their Server-These Social Media Gurus the latest buzz word have absolutly no clue on how to market! Today I feel the only firm creating a social media apps that does is Adaptive Bluehttp://blog.adaptiveblue.com/ and the folks at Zemanta http://www.zemanta.com/blog/ The Rest are with sitting with the Starbuck’s Democrats consuming byte’s and bits-
The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as “a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, etc.”[1] Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs. The 1976 edition of the American Heritage Dictionary included only the definition regarding geek shows.
