Business is no longer B2B.

                          It’s no longer B2C.

                             It’s now P2P.

You can buy attention (advertising).

                        You can beg for attention from the media (PR).

             You can bug people one at a time to get attention (sales).

                       Or you can earn attention by creating something
                        interesting and valuable and then publishing it
                                                         online for free.
