I do wonder how these Godin posts make it up to the top - especially this one.

It's an old book, the message is fairly generic, and almost everybody knows what it is. The review is bland and offers no further insights.

It makes the front page.

Haha no I'm saying Godin often makes up or magically changes the meaning of all these words/phrases (Purple Cow?!) and then doesn't even follow his own advice. Squidoo isn't awesome, or amazing, or wonderful; it's an abortion.
