Don’t look shocked
• Seth Godin– And I’m agreeing with him. It happens. Sometimes
• Thinking about Stripe Generator– Most people can't imagine why you'd want Stripe Generator. After all,
it's just a free tool that... makes stripes.
• Blogs are a tactic, not a strategy– Steve Rubel points out that blogs and trackbacks aren't the only thing
happening these days (TrackBacks Are Dying.) Digg/reddit and lenses and instant messages and tags are all part of the same universe. Each serves a different purpose, but all of them are related and keep moving ideas around.
• You should write an ebook– I'm serious. Smart people with good ideas worth sharing can get a lot
out of this exercise.• http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/03/you_should_writ.html

Buzz building
• BW: How would you advise a marketer to act if they want to start a buzz?
• DW: First, they should focus less on who people influence and more on how people are influenced
• Second, they should also think more about networks, and network structure, rather than treating everyone as behaving independently.
• Third, they should move away from the idea that buzz can be engineered to achieve some prespecified outcome, and get better at measuring and reacting to buzz that arises naturally – http://socialmarketing.blogs.com/r_craiig_lefebvres_social/

Sins of Internet advertising
