Joel on pausing
Posted by Jorge Bernal September 19, 2006
In the meantime, if, say, hypothetically, you were pausing because you live in a country where the police brutalize people, and a policeman was brutalizing you, and you wanted to stop the music so you could try to figure out what the policeman wanted and perhaps there was some way if you could just hear him that you could get him to stop beating you with a riot bat, you’re already DEAD by the time you figure out how to make the pause button actually pause.

Or how to turn great marketing ideas into a fiasco. If you are a phone company giving away free phones to bloggers and think that replaces advertising you’re dead wrong.
Blogosphere marketing only amplifies the quality feeling of your product. So if it’s worth having, bloggers will make it clear, but if your product is just crap, everybody will know.
So next time, think about it.
