| I was reading the preamble post at Doc Searls' IT Garage, and noticed that the post was immediately hijacked by someone flogging Linux-based accounting software. A number of folks -- including my old friend Gary Turner -- started to chat about that topic using via comments on the post. Kind of strange, given the context. This is another case of blog spam exposing an unmet market need. Someone related a story to me last year about a single blog post that mentioned Soldier of Fortune magazine as an analogy; that post, because of the author's Google juice, became a watering hole for all sorts of out-of-work and wannabe soldiers of fortune until the author cut off all comments. Looks to me like IT Garage should dedicate some time to Linux accounting software, or maybe someone should start a blog dedicated to that topic. |
