Get every single person in my life<br>&gt; passionate about it.<br><br>Social proof: we are more likely to be persuaded into doing something when we see a lot of other people doing it.<br><br>&gt; Why did I return my Cingular aircard and buy a<br>&gt; Verizon EVDO one? Cause my friends were passionate.<br><br>Liking: we are more likely to be persuaded into doing something when we see people we know and like doing it.<br><br>&gt; Why did I try CoComment? It’s not cause Laurent<br>&gt; took me skiing. Well, that helped.<br><br>Reciprocation: we are more likely to do something for somebody when they have already done something for us.<br><br>&gt; I get bummed out when I hear people assume that<br>&gt; getting me (or other A listers, or even someone who<br>&gt; really has huge influence like Walt Mossberg or<br>&gt; Steven Levy) to write about them will make their<br>&gt; company.<br><br>Authority: we are more likely to do something when somebody who is authority in a particular field has told us it is a good thing. Whether you like it or not these people understand that you and Walt etc. are respected as authorities on new consumer gadgets and applications and they want you to write about their product.<br><br><br>If you want to learn more about these techniques and the two I didn\'t mention (scarcity and commitment/consistency) go spend 10 bucks on his book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0688128165/sr=8-1/qid=1140459823/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3296279-2186432?%255Fencoding=UTF8" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0688128165/sr=...</a><br>It gets 4.5 stars from 161 reviews and, right now, has a sales rank on Amazon of #219, which is pretty good for a book published in 1998. It\'s quite literally the best non-fiction book I\'ve ever read (followed by David Allen\'s Getting Things Done). I guarantee that you won\'t regret buying it, in fact if you do I\'ll buy it off you for $10.<br><br>Andrew.</div>\

To continue to be valuable to your employer and add shareholder value, you need to get back to blogging about broader technology issues, trends and stuff that, as Chris says, has "business value", read:  can MAKE MONEY!.  And then you need to tie all of that back to how Microsoft best maps to that stuff. Enough of the "look how important blogging is and how highly I rank".  I often wonder if you are as passionate about your employer\'s goal to increase shareholder value as you are about your place in the blogging world. Do the former and the latter will come, with you even having to beg for it.</div>\

I get the irrits more at HOW he goes about it. He\'s a bit Machiavellian about it, in that so long as it ends up right, the journey\'s no biggie, whereas I\'m very concerned with the journey, and think that not only does it count as much as the results, it counts MORE than the results.<br><br>Microsoft got results (until recently), but the journey they took was <i>such</i> a scorched-earth campaign that it could be decades to undo the virulent, unrelenting hatred they created. Was it worth it? Well, by Bill\'s bank account, sure. But man, it\'s got to suck to be doing good work that you know millions will (in some cases literally) spit on just because of the name on the box. Robert kvetched about the DoJ demoralizing the IE team...dude, the DoJ working day and night for the next decade couldn\'t do that efficiently as MS itself has. Please note that eating one\'s own dogfood, and eating one\'s <i>young</i> are in fact, different.<br><br>But the point of my comment was that for Robert to complain about people who never create and only write about those who do is rather hypocritical, since that defines a rather large part of his career and pretty much all of his fame. It\'s not like he\'s creating, he\'s just writing about those who do. The only differences between him and Chris Coulter are viewpoint and writing style.</div>\

This is very case by case, very demographically CRMish. Say a product with a large blue-collar demographic, suddenly decides to get into the luxury market, they run the risk of losing their base. Sometimes better to peel something off, creating a hybrid, that appeals to differing markets. And sometimes you have highly specialized markets, and all the blog-sucking up won\'t do an ounce of good. And the markets are rather thin-slice limited to Consumer and Tech offerings.<br><br>But I liked your \'suck-up\' post. Bloggers are just a differing subgroup, know the religion(s) and sacred cows, know the lingo, pander to the egos and adjust the marketing. But lot of those things are common sensical, but still good to repeat. The biggest being, how evil marketers are that are only your friends when they have something to push.<br><br>PS - And much more beyond just \'style\' and \'viewpoint\', but since I don\'t blog, obviously I am not doing anything with the rest of my life, spending all my time "only attacking the thoughts of others" (note that was sarcasm). But I live in this thing called the capitalist system, hence my offerings, scripts and productions need lots of folding green stuff, and I have other family obligations. Your offerings on a blog are already financed. If I could get 100K a year with bonuses, to blog and run shaky cams around Microsoft and go on exotic junkets, maybe I\'d change my religion too (though I\'d cross my fingers). ;)<br><br>But bearing down on a BIG documentary project and won\'t have time to even comment, even in between dupes and encodes, so you will get a breather from me. :) So the comments are safe from snark for awhile.</div>\

Power was particularly blatant.<br><br>The licenses also created a lot of extra work for users and Apple when it came to OS upgrades, because there were too many cases where you needed this patch or that enabler to load it onto a non-Apple system. Not 100%, but there were definite trends and problems.<br><br>in other words, even with Apple detailing the spec for the licensees, there were regular, continual problems, and Apple was having to provide support to the same people who were trying to take away sales. The business model for this was SO stupid, I\'m amazed it passed a laugh test.<br><br>That experiment was so obviously and thoroughly bad, and happened at a point when Apple didn\'t have any chance whatsoever of gaining at all from it that it never occurred to me that you were talking about THAT idiocy.<br><br>Apple is not, nor has it ever been a software /OS company ala Microsoft. it is a *computer* company, ala IBM, and that has ALWAYS been how they make their money: Selling the whole widget. Every time they\'ve forgotten this, it\'s been bad.</div>\

It\'s not certain that Apple would have lost if it had licensed early in a growing market and capitalised on its advantages. That\'s not the same as licensing too late, when Apple\'s market share was falling and the company was being badly run.<br><br>This also doesn\'t change the general point I made to Guy: Apple did get noticed; it just wasn\'t able to convert notice into sales.</div>\

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-9630435" class="dsq-comment-message">Actually Jack, up until the mid 90s, Apple was never going to be approved over IBM in corporate. IBM had that kind of corporate clout, Apple never did. Ever. Still doesn\'t.<br><br>As well, IBM never encouraged clone makers. In fact, they sued the *hell* out of them. It wasn\'t until Phoenix pulled off a clean version of the PC BIOS that the clone market could start up, and had they lost that suit, IBM would have been *fine* with it.<br><br>But either way, your licensing point falls down. Early on, there was no PC hardware that could have run the Mac OS worth a crap, so they would have had to license not just the OS, but the hardware spec as well, which is exactly what they did in the 90s, and that was a rather amazing failure. There\'s yet to be any logic to suggest that Apple would have somehow been this industry - dominating powerhouse if they had licensed the Mac out early on. In fact, they were NEVER an industry dominating powerhouse on say, an IBM scale or a Microsoft scale. They\'ve always been a major player, bigger or smaller depending on when you\'re talking, but they\'ve never had a Microsoftian market share.<br><br>The problem with sales was who was going to buy it? Corporate didn\'t want it, and refused to buy it, and schools, especially at K-12 take forever to buy anything, and you have to deeply discount to get those sales. So they were left with Higher Ed and niche markets. Developing for the Mac was a complete pain in the ass, as the development machines cost a LOT more than the Mac did.<br><br>The sales point was valid, but any attempt to link it to some "If they had only licensed the OS..." theory is just silly.</div>\
