I totally agree.

I'm wondering what made the group leaders adopt? Was it features? Trendy name and logo? Did it seem like the hip thing to do? Exclusivity / scarcity?



Large marketing firms dedicate resources to finding "trend setters" and "cool kids". http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8...

Older video: "Merchants of Cool" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/

Or look at a Goog search "marketing trendsetters | "trend-setter"

Lots of noise. The Merchants of Cool is a good relevant watch.


I heard about that "Merchants of Cool" video but never got around to watching. Thanks for the reminder, it's back near the top of my TODOs.
