Blatant Advertising
From Seth Godin’s post on Frequency, Frequency, Frequency and the paradox of the Net:
The challenge online is this: smart people are bored by frequency. The people you’re trying hardest to reach won’t sit still for repetitive messages. I used to read a certain blog religiously, but after the 300th irrelevant post about his new book, I had to flee. I haven’t been back since.
I had a similar experience recently with a blog I faithfully followed and happily recommended to others, the Dilbert Blog. However, after his millionth time of adding unrelated references about his new book to his posts, I decided enough was enough. It was just too distasteful for my liking. I too haven’t been back since. I wonder if we’re talking about the same blog, after all, they say smart people think alike
All that being said, I still believe Scott Adams has incredibly unique viewpoints and puts them to words in very entertaining ways. Definitely worth the read, just not for me right now.
I’m still with The Dilbert Blog, I don’t mind him plugging his books.
Are you reading Fake Steve Jobs? He’s on a roll right now …
Hi Rizal. Welcome to my humble little blog. I did follow the latest FSJ satire, kudos to him for fooling everyone, myself included
