Sometimes I feel like Seth Godin is peeking over my shoulder or into my brain when he writes posts like this one. The starfish reference is different from the one we talk about in coworking<http://www.amazon.com/Starfish-Spider-Unstoppable-Leaderless-Organizations/dp/1591841437>, but it's no less relevant. For those unfamiliar with "the long tail" theory, check this out <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Tail>. The key point of the essay should sound familiar, though: If you're a starfish, then, don't sign up with the long tail guys. Build > your own universe, your own permission asset. Find a tribe, lead it, > connect with it, become the short head, the one and only, the one that we'd > miss if you were gone. The long tail is for organizations that own warehouses. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
