greedcandy
:Yes, another spike shoved my bandwidth above its quota late last night and caused my site to be down for 8 hours. I’ve sorted it out with my webmaster. It shouldn’t happen again, he said, reaching for his checkbook.
: Another diamond from Seth Godin:
In a world where things are viral, you’re more likely to succeed with passive networking (strangers recommending you) than the old school active kind. In other words, make great stuff, do your homework, build your audience and when you’ve got something worth talking about, people will talk about it.
I love this guy. “Passive Networking”. What a stunningly great term from a stunningly great paragraph.
: Tom Peters’ new blog is ferociously good. There’s a reason why he gets the big bucks. My pet name for fun, motivational writings about business is “Greedcandy”. It’s a bit cynical, but hey, it was coined by me, so go figure…
Anyway, Tom and Seth are my two favorite Greedcandy folk at the moment. [UPDATE:] Though I’m thinking Evelyn Rodriguez is getting damn close to stealing their crowns. Her stuff already goes beyond them both in a lot of ways.
Hear that, Tom? You’ve got serious competition for a change 
Hey, I’m one of the creative types that managed to stumble on your blog through linkage from other creative sites and I’m pretty new to blogs writing about what you call Greedcandy.
Are there any other Greedcandy blogs you’d recommend besides Seth and Tom?
Sure Jack, I’d recommend Eveyln Rodriguez in a nanosecond. She’s on my blogroll.
I think she’ll could well be “Hugh’s official fave Greedcandy writer” before too long. The longer I read, the more impressed I get. She’s got a certain edge not even Tom or Seth have.
She’s on Tom Peters’ blogroll as well. You know hard it is to get on his blogroll? Yes, that hard. Exactly.

Count me in as another ER adherent!
I’m sorry, I couldn’t get beyond the hysterical cartoon. I am still laughing. What a great little bit of truth. A gem. Hmm…I wonder how much I am missing in my life, since I have more guy than gal friends?
