      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/cartoon_disclosure_sep09a.png" width="150" height="58" />Think of this post as a mashup of two of my favorite social media books: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Naked-Conversations-Changing-Businesses-Customers/dp/047174719X">Naked Conversations</a> meets <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Transparency-International-Association-Communicators/dp/0470293705">Tactical Transparency</a>.</p>

<p>And in the interest of transparency, I should disclose that I thought about slipping my Amazon affiliate code into those links, but decided not to.</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>As well, I should disclose that I'm surprised to discover I can become a tad embarrassed about drawing someone clad only in the clothes they were born in. And that I cartoon partly because of a neurotic need for attention. And that I dismissed two other ideas before drawing this one because they weren't quite social media-y enough, and a third because I suspect Gahan Wilson drew it a few decades ago.</p>

<p>I submit all of this in support of a theory of mine: that the future of corporate communications lies in boring audiences into submission through sheer information overload. Radical transparency and tactical transparency, you've met your match: tedious transparency.</p>

<p>Feel free to try it out in the comments below.</p>
