The EContent Magazine published a list of the 15 Top Digital Media Influencers. NEXT Berlin 2012 speaker David Weinberger made it to the 11th place - with good reason, we think.

EContent Magazine published a list of the 15 Top Digital Media Influencers. These were proposed by a panel of industry experts who were asked to nominate  those they thought were most influential by “changing the roles of digital media companies”, as Barry Graubart (Content Matters Blog) puts it.

NEXT Berlin 2012 speaker David Weinberger made it to the 11th place – with good reason. He has expert knowledge of the internet’s impact on business and society. His books (“The Cluetrain Manifesto”, “Everything Is Miscellaneous”, “Too Big to Know”) contain trendsetting observations and are considered essential reading for a world gone digital.

Delivering the closing keynote at NEXT Berlin 2012 “Unsettling Knowledge”, he captivated the audience with his explanations of how the internet changed our understanding of knowledge. Even though it is “chaotic, unpredictable and randomn”, as Weinberger described it in his talk, it is also very useful and makes us smarter.
