Marketing? Me? I spend a good deal of time railing against marketing and consumerism, but I am by profession a marketing ...erm... professional. People are individuals, not 'targets'; they are producers, not consumers; and 'we' (being marketers) are 'they' and 'we' should never forget that. I call my technique Pinko Marketing - Commons-Based Unmarketing.

Greg at Cistera challenges me to a useful new meme : naming my favourite apps. I'm not usually a fan of passing along memes, but I am a big fan of many of these tools, so I will definitely bite...but put them into various categories: BLOGGING Technorati - for tracking, nothing is better.

A group of people, dedicated to the Music Genome Project, spend years at their labor of love - not making money (Tim said, "Being a musician was my 'stable job'."), getting evicted, scraping a company together to keep the dream alive. They've done one thing really well - music discovery.
