If you don’t know who Andrew Keen is, Google him, I’m not linking because I find him and his views on the internet and the changing face of the professional/amateur divide simultaneously calculating and idiotic.
If you do know who he is, you’ll understand why Tom Coates’s drubbing of him is so spot on.

if you watch his (Andrew’s) poor performance at the Barns and Noble debate I wouldn’t worry about him getting much more publicity. Or if he does then he is just there to fill the space of agent provocateur.
Yes, but I the reason I like Tom’s analysis of it was that he doesn’t achieve anything by being the agent provocateur and it’s disingenuous in any case (as he writes a blog himself). In other words, his position is contradictory and untenable and a good agent provocateur is at least consistent.
