Making money twice

This must be how people transition from doing useful work to being marketing gurus etc. Yeah it pays, but it's bad for the soul :-) I recall Phillip J. Eby, once an unusually smart Python programmer, now a self-help author.

Thank you for your comment. I thought I was the only one that read this post as "more ways to keep milking money from the same suckers."

They already cried foul when Google did a product that was slightly similar to Campfire. Now, I'd love to see their reaction if someone decided to "repackage" one of their products on their own.

Repackaging someone else's content and repackaging your own content are two extremely different things.

To be fair, there is value in both editing and variety of presentation. And it can even be measured in dollars, if this article is anything to go by.

It was kinda sad reading his blog while he made the jump. The first few self-help-ish posts were actually ok, but the rest were just annoying.
