[Josh] After 11 years of covering media, television, and technology for Forrester, I’m about to take on a new role: author.
Forrester is supporting me in my quest to understand a new the most powerful phenomenon on the Web – the trend toward people using social technologies and undermining the power of institutions in the process. We call it the groundswell, and it’s a hell of a phenomenon.
I’m really just a baby in this field. The expert is another Forrester analyst, Charlene Li, the queen of social computing (as we’ve called it in the past). Luckily for me, Charlene has agreed to collaborate with me on this project.
For those of you who’ve worked with me in my exploration of media trends, thank you. I’ve gotten to meet incredible people, learn amazing things, make friends and enemies, and get quoted an awful lot. What a great trip it’s been. I’ll be helping behind the scenes as analysts like Brian Haven, Maribel Lopez, Charlie Golvin, JP Gownder, and Paul Jackson pick up the torch, with help from a new analyst or two we’re hiring right now. Media trends like online video, digital video recorders, and HDTV are still changing rapidly, and we’ll be all over them.
If you’d like to join me in my new project, pop on over to blogs.forrester.com/groundswell. That’s where we’re launching the ideas behind the book. Be a part of it.
