@Dominic quite so. Do you think communications to market could become more rich (never mind social) – eg: press release would come to include related video, audio, suggested tags?

Derek, On the social media elephant in the room, I didn't mention that because it wasn't really new to me either. I was on their first conference call with bloggers. I guess I'm just spoiled and follow things too closely.

I thought that it was a bit of PR, XBRL had never been launched to the market, and CC was using words like “interactive data”, rather than the barcode analogy, for a while now.

The Elephant in the Room was social media that the SEC and Lutz frankly endorsed. Expect some comment, or even better: innovation, to come out of the newswires now.

As far as my personal experience goes this event certainly caused me to take a double-take.
