As you suggested, Hugh, if the metaphor works then use it. If it doesn't, kill it! I also believe, however, that metaphors evolve. Witness the change in meaning of "the Dot Com economy" pre- and post-bust. That being said, I believe brand has evolved for many - and for the better. But there are still folks stuck in the lip-stick on the pig paradigm. Check out the rant over here: www.acleareye.com. And please join in. I'd appreciate your thoughts.

(Probably because it conforms to my opinions, but anyway...) "Conversation" grated on me because it only furthers the mercantilization of every human interaction. The whole "cluetrain" group-think thing bugs me because we're all "clueless" to a great extent, and those onboard the "cluetrain" haven't seemed to have happened upon that particular clue. I dislike the phrase "get it" for much the same reason. They're phrases intended to merely rearrange hierarchy in the competition for rank, rather than reduce it; which is rather surprising given the enthusiasm for a "flat" world in some quarters. Maybe it's just enthusiasm for groovy new "memes." Maybe I'm just a cynical curmudgeon. And finally, the previous two comments regarding death and metaphor provided a superb "daily moment of Zen." A most worthwhile visit. Excellent post! (Probably because it conforms to my opinions, but anyway…)
