Cluetrain quotes - 3

Continuing my quotes from the Cluetrain Manifesto, here is another quote which I love from the 95 Theses:

Continuing my quotes from the Cluetrain Manifesto, here is another quote which I love from the 95 Theses:

I finally read the Cluetrain Manifesto over the Christmas break. I had dipped in and out of the online version but I treated myself to a paperback copy and read it while offline in Spain. All these things are so much easier for me to digest in dead tree format! Getting old, I know.

Anyhoo, I thought I’d share some of my favourite quotes from the book here on the blog for you.

we are human beings and our reach exceeds your grasp.
deal with it.
