7. Here is a typical statement coming from the business community: "Competition is changing overnight, and product lifecycles often last for just a few months. Permanence has been torn asunder. We are in a time that demands a new agility and flexibility: and everyone must have the skill and insight to prepare for a future that is rushing at them faster than ever before" (Jim Carroll, "The Masters of Business Imagination Manifesto aka The Masters of Business Innovation," www.jimcarroll.com/10s/10MBI.htm).

9. A very interesting feature in Wired describes a creative relationship between commercial manga publishers and fans in Japan. One story quotes Keiji Takeda, one of the main organizers of fan conventions in Japan, as saying, "This is where [the convention floor] we're finding the next generation of authors. The publishers understand the value of not destroying that" (Daniel H. Pink, "Japan, Ink: Inside the Manga Industrial Complex," Wired 15 [Oct. 2007]: www.wired.com/techbiz/media/magazine/15-11/ff-manga? currentPage=3).

This number, however, does not tell how many of these comments are responses to other comments.
