As far as I can tell, the conversation was kickstarted by Jake McKee at Community Guy, and gained momentum with a post by Jennifer Rice. Read the comments on hers; they’re fascinating, even if many of them focus on the topic from a branding perspective.

Yeah, great great conversation. A reminder of what I like so much about the Internet!
