It basically summarized his book up in 2 minutes. It leaves out all the details and good information. It's articles like these that do entrepreneurs a dis-service:
a) You don't get the nitty gritty important details on how he really did it. You should definitely read his book to find that out btw.
b) The focus is on the zeros and commas, making everyone think they can make million on teh internetz easily.
- gojomo 17y agoAre the rest of the details in his book? If so, it's acceptable that a ~650-word newspaper account just provide a taste/tease; it's all the medium can do.
- mhb 17y agoIf it's an ad for the book it's acceptable. But it's unclear exactly what it is - it doesn't even mention that there's a book. It sure isn't much of an article.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoThe NY Times consistently prints these 'millions in minutes on the Internet' pieces. They did the same think with Markus Frind, Mr. Plenty of Fish, and I've seen others as well. I know it's fun to rewrite the same story over and over about how you fall out of bed into a pile of money, but it gets a little old for those of us who know you really fall into a pile of hard work and meager reward.
