    Hello all

    Just a note to say that there is an online version of my forthcoming (6 May)
    discussion in the New Scientist of Malcolm Gladwell's new successful book -
    The Tipping Point - about Social Epidemics and viral ideas

    http://www.newscientist.com/opinion/opinion_223726.html

    Although IMO there may be several shortcomings of the book - Gladwell
    successfully communicates a compelling memetic message without the
    techno-jargon some of us so love. Lessons to be learned? Comments anyone?
