Kathy Sierra’s ama­zing post, “You ARE a mar­ke­ter. Deal with it.”

In this new open-source/cluetrain world, I am a mar­ke­ter. And so are you. If you’re inte­res­ted in crea­ting pas­sio­nate users, or kee­ping your job, or breathing life into a star­tup, or get­ting others to con­tri­bute to your open source pro­ject, or get­ting your sig­ni­fi­cant other to agree to the vaca­tion you want to go on… con­gra­tu­la­tions. You’re in mar­ke­ting. Now go kill yourself.

The mar­ke­ting chart alone is about as suc­cint a defi­ni­tion bet­ween old and new mar­ke­ting as you’re ever likely to find.
I left a big ol’ rant in the com­ments, as is my wont.

    Hugh, did I remem­ber to tell you that *nothing* comes bet­ween me and my limi­ted edi­tion (#57 of 200) gaping­void t-shirt?
