Last month, Chris Brogan and Julien Smith published a book called Trust Agents. Being a fan of Brogan, one of my social media heroes, I bought the book the day it came out, and was amazed by it.
The book outlines a personality called a “trust agent”, a person that influences many, although you may have never met them personally. Social media gives anyone with computer access to thousands of people who could fit under that title, as long as you trust them. One rule of the title is one (like myself) cannot declare themselves to be a trust agent, but others can levy that honor on you.
So, who do you, and many others trust? TV talk show hosts? Actors? Athletes? Politicians? Librarians? Bartenders? It does not have to involve the internet.
