Digital Pheromones and Maple Leafs

At the close of the Olympics, the chair of the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC), John Furlong highlighted the fact that Canadians were united in experiencing the 2010 Winter Olympic Games

�I believe we Canadians tonight are stronger, more united, more in love with our country, and more connected with each other than ever before. These Olympic Games have lifted us up. That quiet, humble national pride we were sometimes reluctant to acknowledge seemed to take to the streets as the most beautiful kind of patriotism broke out all across our country."

I believe that modern communications technologies played a pivotal role in bringing us together for the past 17 days. If you were on Twitter during the Mens Hockey Championship, you felt it first hand. In todays podcast, I consider our evolving use of communications technologies as digital pheromones.
