Great quote
I've been reading the online version of the cluetrain book. I'm only in the first chapter and so far it seems like a lot of platitudes. He rants about marketing and corporate speak, but if you look at what he is doing it is just marketing at the people on the net. Anyway, I'll reserve more comment on the book until I read more than the first couple of pages.
But there was a GREAT quote I had to pull. Talking about the beginnings of the WWW he says the following:
Many, in their own assessment if not that of others, were net.gods — high priests of an arcane art very few even knew existed. When disagreements arose over serious matters — the correct use of quotation marks, say — they would join in battle like old Norse warriors:
heh, heh.... Norse Warriors,.... heh,.... quotation marks..... He really hit the nail on the head there. :-)
