Very provocative and relevant.

I think the sheep behavior exists because you have two groups of people in social media. Those who want to be part of a community for the sharing and learning part, and those who are there to game the system for exposure. I think it is the latter that breeds all the sheep.

Of course if the goats are given a ho-hum button to show friendly dissent, this may encourage a few sheep to break ranks too. Just kidding. :)

BTW Barry, I looked for a post to link to you for the "ho hum" borrow, but I couldn't find one. I know you've commented on the subject "a few times" :) but is there something to link to?
