I started off wondering what was driving all those new readers to my site (thanks again, Rod), and I found myself jumping from one site to another getting caught up on new ideas and different ways of applying tested ones. On a daily basis, I can catch up with intelligent and thoughtful people who I have come to know through their posts. I’ve never met Guy Kawasaki, but he seems like an old friend. He even claims to have nothing to say to those who have nothing to do. What better friend that that? http://boassobusiness.blogspot.com/2006/05/off-topic-bloggings-double-edged-sword.html Trackback from “OFF TOPIC: BLOGGING’S DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD”

(And it is the audience that pays the price) Sinning in moderation is highly recommended. I passionately believe that. :-) That was the sentiment behind this post, which is also why i still don't see it as controversial. Scott,

For example, anecdotes help tie the theory to real experience. Uri says they're often too specific to apply to you, but I find that they are what help me get from the general to the specific. Best practices is the drawing of conclusions from multiple anecdotes. If the guru isn't going to draw any conclusions from their observation of the real world, why would I even want to read their book? The operative word on #3 and #4 is "sweeping". Of course, this post is making those same sweeping generalizations and sweeping negatives. :-) And Uri's comment in reply to me basically admits it. Isn't this whole post basically a sweeping negative that you yourself don't entirely believe, Uri, just for the sake of sparking controversy and, therefore, buzz? Laurence - please don't insult healthy debate and well-founded disagreement by resorting to an easy jab. Snarky is so last-century. :-) laurence:
