I love the positive, genuine, and authentic energy. Though our efforts and achievements and our emerging character may be imperfect, our striving is heroic and can be contagiously positive for others.

Good post.

EquityKicker,

There's a lot of Long Tail hoopla -- Anderson makes this point, but doesn't support it with hard data -- and for good reasons. I can say that he doesn't understand Operations at all. Please read my post on the Long Tail and I explain it there...

word-of-mouth marketing is, of course, the the most effective means of marketing. the idea is to systematize it into a revenue-generating machine that is controlled, analyzable, and reportable. this has been done already -- bzzagent has been in this space for some time.

i recently interviewed samual clemens, director of network optimization at bzzagent. see that interview here:

This is Feedpass' first attempt at redemption after their eBay sale only fetched $4,000 USD.

Oh, heaven help us all: Multi-Level Marketing meets Web 2.0 -- this is almost as cheeseball as this statement by an MLM in Utah.

The percentage Ghosemajumder shared is interesting, but insufficient. Metrics like this require additional numbers such as sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate and false negative rate. These additional numbers give us a better picture of the measurement system and whether or not it is reliable.

If you're ruler is not to scale, your measurements will be off the mark.
