Kent Lewis, president here at Anvil Media, just got off the phone with Seth Godin (the best-selling author of more than seven books on marketing, the spread of ideas, -- e.g. Purple Cow!). Seth gave a brief write-up of the conversation on his blog:
"The most important part of the story is this: he doesn't do the community work for that reason [a profit motive]. He does it for the right reason--because it feels good to help his community. The magic of the zero-marginal-cost scalable nature of the web is that your volunteer effort goes a long way and generosity almost always pays off."
Seth is referring to pdxMindShare, an invaluable resource for numerous people here in Portland's business community.
Paul Biggs lives in Portland, Oregon where he writes about technology, apps, and gadgets when he can find a spare second.
