Steve Rubel has said there isn’t just one Facebook; there are 500 million of them. Does that make it harder to talk to your customers, or easier?

You gotta love Seth Godin. The man has a gift for turning complex topics into a pithy phrase (a la “All Marketers are Liars,” “Purple Cow,” and the like). He just did it again. Seth tells a great story about a “strategist” who asked what software was needed to build a website. In his fashion, Seth titled the story, “I need to build a house, what kind of hammer should I buy?”

So, why don’t we do more of ‘em? Well, we will. But, the real reason is, as Seth reminds us, the tools don’t matter. Sure, bad tools can hurt you. But the wrong strategy hurts more.

And check out these posts to help you think about whether you’ve got the right strategy:
