It was like fresh air, like wide open horizon, like everything that matters. What is more, the humbleness of thought, expressed in some citations,like this: <i>Although a system may cease to exist in the legal sense or as a structure of power, its values (or anti-values), its philosophy, its teachings remain in us. They rule our thinking, our conduct, our attitude to others. The situation is a demonic paradox: we have toppled the system but we still carry its genes</i> were speaking to us even deeper as we just started to fight with demons of the past...

It was like fresh air, like wide open horizon, like everything that matters. What is more, the humbleness of thought, expressed in some citations,like this:

Although a system may cease
to exist in the legal sense or
as a structure of power,
its values (or anti-values),
its philosophy, its
teachings remain in us.
They rule our thinking, our conduct,
our attitude to others.

The situation is a demonic paradox:
we have toppled the system
but we still carry its genes

were speaking to us even deeper as we just started to fight with demons of the past…

Cluetrain is one of the most important book for my generation….

It's more than a little surprising how many marketers these days tell me that they've either never heard of Cluetrain and/or haven't read it. I suppose it's an opportunity, but it's also scary that they don't know the root of this social web stuff. Hopefully this 10th anniversary edition helps get the Cluetrain out to an even more broad audience. I certainly was proud to be invited to participate! Jake McKee Thanks for the review, Cory!

Is there a PDF available? Seems a little old-fashioned somehow. So…ummmm, what if I don’t want a hardback version? Is there a PDF available?

I did read the first book, probably on your recomendation, made my husband and ex-husband(!) read it also. My husband took it to work recently and some of his bosses read it. -No effect yet that he can see. Now I will have to get the 2.0 version. Thanks for writing about this, Cory.
