I'd heard about it, but it was sort of on my ignore for now list. Sounds pretty cool. And as for new tools to take better advantage of what we have, I say bring them on.

How big is your farm?
If you own a lot of acres but just have a few bags of seed, you might be tempted to spread out what you've got and cover as much territory as you can. Farmers tell me that this is wasteful and time consuming. You end up with less yield and more work.
Marketers face the same dilemma.
The number of media channels available to you keeps growing. The number of places you can spend time and money is almost endless. Yet your budget isn't. Your time certainly isn't.
Some people would have you spend a little time on each social network, run ads in ten or fifteen media, focus on one hundred major markets and spend time on PR and publicity in every publication willing to listen to you.
Or you could pick one channel and win.
What are the chances that people are eager to join the tribe of the fiftieth most popular brand in a given market? Or that they will pay attention to someone who shows up now and then but is in a huge hurry to get to the next place?
Yield is what matters, and yield comes from getting through the Dip. You punch through the clutter when you allocate more resources and more dedication than everyone else (in that market). Ignore the other markets and the other channels. They're dead to you anyway.

Your comment somehow explains all those German art movies my friend made me watch in college. You know there's some logic in there somewhere your just not sure what it is :) Oliver as usual you never cease to amaze with the completely randomness that only your German wired brain can bring.

Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the www says its the semantic web.
But we all now that thats bull….

So, what is it?
Given that we all cant eat the web or sleep in it, the answer is Agriculture.
Just check the new issue of my Bible http://www.monocle.com/
We are all going back to the farm!
