yes, exactly. we geeks love to hear these optimistic things about supposed geeky "revolutions"... just as we like to ignore obvious facts like most of the population not having internet access, most of internet traffic going to the same "old" mass media conglomerates, most of "new" media (blogs etc) not having 1/100 of the "old" media's audience, and most of the biggest companies not giving a damn about this "revolution", but still selling / profiting like crazy (using this "old" marketing that supposedly doesn't work anymore)... http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/01/01/1433206 no matter how hard we geeks like to pretend "old" communication and marketing (the ones we don't like, the ones most of us don't understand) are dead, they're still alive and kicking (and healthy!). last time i checked, uncool non-bloggy microsoft was selling much more than your cool distro of choice. -- Santiago Roza Proyecto Tiny ERP Argentina Departamento I+D - Thymbra [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
