Seth Godin is kind of a big deal. People know him. He writes a blog. People read it.

It's Nonsense.

Obviously he writes it to help Build his Brand, and so I guess he's happy to give ridiculous 'advice' and draw indefensible conclusions, in the name of Having Something to Write. He seems like a smart guy, so I assume he knows how ridiculous his posts are.

But others might not. They might follow his advice. And if they did, they might ruin their careers, lose all their friends, and go broke.

This blog's for them.

Godinisms

Aka "Stuff Seth Godin Likes"

Godin's trickery and sophistry usually adopt one of several familiar forms. Learn to spot them, and reading his posts not only will be safer, it will also be more much fun.

    Counter-Intuitiveness
    Gross Imprecision

    Really Bad Ideas

Should you fire the voice mail guy?

Should you fire the voice mail guy?

(Godinisms: Populism, Stating the Obvious)

This isn't such a bad post. Sure, it's possible that many companies have voice mail trees that stink, and they go unexamined for years, and it's time for a little spring cleaning. Why not.

Now, most voice mail systems these days seem to work pretty well. And for the ones that don't, it seems farfetched that it's the CEOs job to fix them, or even pay attention to them.

But all in all, questioning your voice mail system isn't such a bad idea. At least you won't go broke!
