Favorite blog posts of 2006

Seth Godin - “The story always matters,” and “The problem with global warming.” Seth is the smartest marketing mind I know, and it’s because he doesn’t approach issues with marketing solutions. He approaches issues with people solutions. Every time.

Josh Steimle - “How to avoid bad clients.” This is a gem. I think the business climate for service companies would completely change if everybody lived by this blog post alone.

Clayton Blackham - “Five things you didn’t know about Clayton Blackham.” Clay went out on a limb and tagged Mark Cuban on this, and Mark responded to him and not Jason Calacanis. We learned from Mark that somebody somewhere has a tape of him singing “My Dingaling” by Chuck Berry. Clay (or Focker as we call him) is a fellow Utah PR guy.

Guy Kawasaki - “The art of innovation.” In the words of Guy. “The purpose of innovation is not cool products and cool technologies but happy people.”

I’ll add more as I remember them. CKnud started this thing. What are your favorite blog posts of ‘06?

In all fairness to Ben Stein, I didn’t write that post - I just posted it on my blog but its a great message and I’m glad I found it.

You should know that a good portion of the Ben Stein post is a hoax. He did write and recite some of it. The breed of weirdos that gets a kick out of people forwarding their fake emails added a good portion to the end that Stein had nothing to do with. Here is a link:
