 New Marketing vs. Old Marketing ( Do not miss it!) August 13, 2008
Erdal Bezaroglu (NY, USA)
Hi Seth,
i have been following your blog like a year and reading your posts almost everyday. I also bought your book " Meatball Sundae" it is a great book everyone who has "gatekeepers"(who does underestimate technology and power of online marketing tools and love their dark caves) in their company should buy, read and apply, give the same examples or similar ones to their executives and you will finally win the challenge(i did it and it is working).You may easily convert them into "new marketing" lovers. i have been thinking to write you since along time but could not find time because i am reading your intelegence whenever i have time( always excuses:)).You have changed the way i look at the new marketing. Anyway soon i will order all your books from Amazon they are making everythng crystal clear and easy. I highly reccomend everybody to read them. I hope you will continue to write them.
All the Best,
Same Song -- But It's a Good One August 11, 2008
Lois Lain (San Francisco Bay Area, CA)
Godin continually wows me with his ability to convey the same messages in new and different -- and entertaining -- ways. I found many noteworthy ideas and thoughts in this book -- specifically, don't try to go after the hard-to-reach customers; stick with the ones you have and serve the heck out of them.
I liked the variety of examples Godin gives -- both "do this" and "don't do this." The real-life case studies drive home his points.
Anyone in business today should be considering these topics and figuring out NOT how to make New Media work for them, but how to adjust their existing business to take advantage of what New Media is.
 Over-rated, generic info, no substance August 9, 2008

I've read this book and listened to Godin speak, and I can tell you buying and reading this thing is a waste of time. His points are long-winded and not terribly important. If you're in traditional media and you're still trying to convince someone that "the internet" isn't a fad, this book is for you. However, if you live in work in the modern marketing age, you'll find nothing here of value.
I high-lighted almost the entire book July 16, 2008
Gerd Leonhard (Switzerland)
If you are into the Future of Marketing do yourself a favor and get this book. I read a lot of books and this is one of the best marketing books I have ever gad the pleasure to gobble up while on some airplane going from one speaking gig to another. To illustrate: I am pretty ruthless with my high-lighter in one hand, and pen in the other, and by the time I am through I can always tell which book really got me going, simply by the amount of high-lighting I have done (or not, in most cases). And my copy of Meatball Sundae was YELLOW, all the way through. Every single page a real keeper, with morsels such as "Coca Cola is no longer the most popular soft drink in the country. The most popular drink is "Other", none of the above. The mass of choices defeats the biggest hits." and "The 'operating system' for marketers is now fundamentally changing. It doesn't matter how big your market share is today. If your product and your marketing are optimized for the older model, you will be defeated by the relentless tide of the New Marketing and the products and services that are designed for it"
Plus I love his writing: easy to read, to the point, structured paragraphs, clear. So, for once, forget the feeds, the tweets, the podcasts... read a book. This book.
Fun Way to Get the Point Across July 5, 2008
P. M. Waugh (Pierceton, IN USA)
I enjoyed this book very much but more importantly it gives me a different way to look at my marketing - or lack of in some cases. The ideas are principles we have known or heard but did we follow them. By Seth's innovative way of thinking and relating an idea it is both simple and complex at the same time. Easy reading but lots of ideas to put into place.
