The Gillmor Gang — Danny Sullivan, Robert Scoble, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor — rallied from big media’s confusion over how to grapple with reality. For @dannysullivan, the notion that Apple dominates the social moment (@stevegillmor says this) flies in the face of reality, or at least last years’s model.
For @scobleizer, Google+ is becoming the home of conversation, while @kevinmarks takes umbrage at the idea that Apple and iOS are only for rich people (@stevegillmor doesn’t say this.) @jtaschek spends some of his social capital reimagining new names for the AOL/Yahoo fantasy merger, and @stevegillmor sees blue sky ahead as iOS 5 and its push notification bus pulls into town.
