      The "tech companies as governments" metaphor is getting popular. Then what's the equivalent of diplomacy between these governments? (A valid answer is "None, you're abusing the metaphor".)

      Ok, this has me stumped, but a cautious take: tech companies don't need diplomacy between each other yet bc it's mostly still tech cos (digital gov'ts) vs. regulators (physical gov'ts). Even tech cos who war w each other are still doing so based on national borders (China, etc)

      Which makes me wonder: what else needs to happen before we start seeing conflicts *between* tech co's that will require diplomacy?

      Finally, if tech cos are cooperative rather than competitive (nobody's infringing on each others' territory), does that collectively make them more like a single country (e.g. give it a seat at the UN), rather than an entirely new political paradigm (online vs. offline world)?

      I attended many meetings at Google with representatives from, e.g., Apple that sure felt like diplomacy to me. I think that 99% of @slightlylate's job is diplomacy.

      do you think that diplomatic role is a generalizable job function within a company (ex. "corporate relations"), or is it dependent on the product in question?

      I think to some extent this is what corpdev is at big companies.

      Replying to @aboodman @nayafia and

      Not sure if this is what you're getting at, but in national diplomacy there is this whole art/skill of communicating compatibly with lots of other cultures, so that aren't misunderstood, don't offend, etc.

      (or choose to offend to achieve specific goals when other approaches fail)
