This may be on of Steve Rubel's Articles yet !
This idea didn't occur to me when I started and this blog five years ago and named it Micro Persuasion, but in all honesty it could have. It's been percolating in my subconscious for a long time. In the digital age - where every second there is something new tugging at our attention - we are influenced more than ever by tiny little icons. And there's no sign of the trend abating.
It used to be that in the old days only brands could afford nice logos. However, today almost everyone and everything has an icon. These little logos say a lot about a brand's persona and what they stand for. However, icons are not just for products and services anymore, it's for individuals too.
I don't know about you but I make decisions about the digital tools/services I use and the digital personas I choose to follow on Twitter or Friendfeed not just based on their attributes alone, but their icons. I bet that I am not alone. Icons also influence the mobile applications we choose to put on our handhelds, the sites we bookmark (because of their favicons) and the apps we run on our desktops."

"But as fate would have it, while awaiting Daniel's arrival, I bumped into Michael Arrington of TechCrunch in Palo Alto, who was finishing breakfast at the place Daniel and I had scheduled. Arrington kindly offered us both an invite to see the uber-blog's new office, just a few blocks away, which we accepted.!"FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 2009 Louis Gray
Unbeknownst to us, the casual invite turned into meet and greet mania. In addition to Arrington's team, including Jason Kincaid, Sarah Lacy, Henry Work, Asad Akbar and CEO Heather Harde, both Robert Scoble and Jason Calacanis stopped by - making the room high on geeks, even if low on furniture (they're still building it out).
"Rumor has it from the Inner Bop Circle that Mr Gray and Mr Calacanis were at this meeting , but are organizing the Segway 500-The race is scheduled for Late August 2009 ,from Art's Deli in Studio City to The Spa Hotel in Palm Springs-so business was done-any one owning a Segway is invited-But the Inner Bop Circle found out that Mr Gray and Mr Calacanis have had the company that builds an electric car soup up their Segways-this will be the Social Media event of the year-This Is Huge it seems that Chris Brogan and Steve Rubel have sent their Segway's to be tuned by the Car Guys on NPR-This is a tough race since Mr Calacanis of Mahalo already is adept at electric motoring-rumor has it that Seth Godin quietly will be sponsored Ferarri - Scolbe's Seg "Scrapple" will be the one to watch no one has seen it -!"Marshal
