Social Media in the Middle Ages

Sometimes we understand the present by looking at the past.

This struck me yesterday while I was strolling to the meeting

with the local Rotary club downtown Stockholm, Sweden.

"What would be the Middle Age version of twitter, blogs

and web sites?" this is my picture:

Twitter: the Joker running from the edge of the village to the

city center "he's coming!!! the king's man is on his way!!!"

Blog: the messenger arrives, rolls out the and reads the King's wills

Web site: the laws and other important stuff in this Kingdom

Conclusions:

The strategy and language in the different channels may differ - but

all aim for the same message - and effect.

What's your view?
