Marketing? How to win friends and influence people?<p>What's next on HN, dating advice? No, scratch that. It'll be how to 'hack' the perceptions of people so you can take advantage of them. I expect to see spam for Mystery Method here in short order. Swiftly followed by NLP and hypnosis courses.<p>Guy Kawasaki is undoubtedly a very bright individual, and I have even personally benefited from some of the advice given in his writings. But...not this. Not here.
On a related note, what's happened to Guy's site? There was a time I treated it as a reference for its useful advice on pitching VC's, public speaking, avoiding stupid mistakes... today it's all short-form, link-heavy posts, at least half of which are explicit self promotion.<p>I like Guy, but it's sad to see the way things have changed. Where's the meat?
