/in /by

I’m a fan of Seth Godin, one of the first Internet marketers, and his daily blog; sometimes it’s a page, sometimes only one or two sentences. His messages deal with all aspects of business and marketing, but sometimes, he uses examples from everyday life. Here’s one that’s brutal but honest:
