From VentureBlog: Accelerating Acceleration:

But suffice to say, marketers who understand how to sell into a certain market trend will have increasingly more say than technologists who understand what can be developed.

Weird. It is my belief for quite some time now, that this is the case already, and not only on the consumer electronics market either. Whatever you do, you have to sell something. If you do a terific job, but you can't communicate it, you can forget getting praised for it. If, on the other hand, you can't do shit, but are a master in selling that, you will be "a successful entrepeneur".

I just found this post as "draft" in my MT. Originally drafted on 21 November 2003, but still true... I didn't change a word, either.
