Stern makes a living off of spouting opinions about topics about which he knows nothing, which begs the question of why anyone should give his opinions any merit? Just because he’s on the radio, famous, and/or rich? Sorry, no.

The one thing he does know is his own show. Thus, I would suggest Stern apply these bullet points to that.

And what makes social networks good for those under 15 and not for those over 15? If they’re useless, then wouldn’t they be useless for all? Just evidence of his ignorance and lack of deep thought, once again.

Companies, celebrities, etc. have got to start understanding this. You are already online now you need to start participating!

Stern has really disappeared from the headlines and general conversation since he went into his “closed network” of Sirius. A friend of mine said, “He could be eviscerating people over there, we just wouldn’t hear about it.”

While there’s no denying the initial success that Stern had when he first jumped behind closed, paid doors, the growth of his show is nothing to proud of. Sirius in general is re-adjusting their subscriber growth numbers today – http://tinyurl.com/5qlv88 The company is blaming soft auto-sales but the real story is the lack of steady adoption.

Stern should be using the social network tools to expand his base but he can’t see anything outside of his walled-off world.

Sirius stock has plunged by 91% this year, yet Howard chooses to ignore the power of emerging networks. Good luck to you Howard, it’s ironic that I haven’t thought about you until I read a story about your show on a blog.
