Anecdotal Value is Recognized

Bethanne's Book Blog Barnes & Noble Book Blog notes the value of anecdotes.

so many stories were shared that our table's gross "anecdotal value" (you could look it up; it's a real concept!) would make us millionaires if it could only be translated into cold hard cash.


Take home point: Anecdotes have no value unless and until they are shared. Only after they are shared can the listener appreciate--value--the story.
