  Cluetrain Number 92
Hey Bloggers! Who are your friends? allies? sparring partners? Who are you arguing with for better future? Are you delivering commitment or content? Are you creating a space for engagement or space for Advertising?
92. Our allegiance is to ourselves—our friends, our new allies and acquaintances, even our sparring partners. Companies that have no part in this world, also have no future
Who are you?

I have been both. Content and commitment.

I sleep better with commitment. It hurts more, though. I suppose because it wraps me in the gift.

Content just wraps the gift with paper someone else made. So, I am looking into how I can transform much of what I do with more writing than content.

It makes me (or those in my employment) part of something instead of being the pusher of things.

I need to think more on how I can take a product that is branded with a way I don't like and compete against their branding.

I was once of the thought that I needed to compete against the product.

I think I was wrong about that. I do not. Great products sometimes have marketing and branding I hate.

That does not make the product bad or evil. The product was born with two sucky drugged up parents.

I still can get involved with the life of the product. YES!

I can overshadow their noise. The internet allows me to compete with the branding-the noise.

This is good conversation on these things here.

Mainly because as I read and aggree or disagree I then go to my businesses and start hacking on em.

new mantra: Compete against products when better ones are found. Go to war with drugged up parents always.
