Since I mentioned Seth’s Blog<\/a>, why don’t we review it?<\/p>\n

I think Seth Godin has very interesting, very useful ideas on marketing. But I think his weblog can be too much a Delphic Oracle at times.<\/p>\n

Visually, it’s very clean. Even though he easily could, he doesn’t clutter up his message with advertising, other than promotion of his own products.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, he sometimes doesn’t clutter up his message with message. There are times when his profundities are about as deep as a fortune cookie.<\/p>\n

Commenting is normally turned off, but trackbacks — Typepad — are turned on, so you can communicate with Seth’s audience, if not with the man himself.<\/p>\n

I love this weblog, but I wish it were as consistent about addressing issues as it can be about raising them…
