It has some decent points, but anyway, I still not "get" Seth Godin..really, I saw a lot of his blog articles being heavily linked, but I never ever saw any really good insight from him. Please enlighten me what so special about that guy.

Got me. Every once in a while he has a very worthwhile post, the rest is vapor, filled with unnecessary buzzwords, obvious or not very useful. Here's an example of a few his posts that I found insightful/useful: http://is.gd/2oWe http://is.gd/2oWe http://is.gd/2sJw http://is.gd/2sJw http://is.gd/TJD http://is.gd/TJD The problem is: his best posts are good enough to keep me reading him every once in a while so he wins. If you want to know about marketing/PR my recommendation is to read Made to Stick.

Seth's job, in his own words, is to remind you of things you already know. It's hard to explain why people love Seth so much. All I can really do is point you to some of his best stuff. * This Is Broken: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4101280286098310645 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4101280286098310645 * Hard Work: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/69/sgodin.html http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/69/sgodin.html * All his books, especially All Marketers are Liars, Permission Marketing, and Free Prize Inside. * His best blog posts are collected in the book Small Is The New Big. I love all of Seth's vintage stuff, but my personal favorite is probably his post Clean Fire Trucks: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/12/clean_firetruck.html http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/12/clean_firetr...

I feel the same way. And yet, isn't being loved by so many people proof of being a really good marketer?
