Another great thing about Sting is that he is one with his product. He truly believes in his music and shares them with everybody. It's genuine. It's like knowing when a salesman is just giving you the talk to get you to buy and when a salesman is truly enthusiastic about his product.

I guess it is more of various forms of the same principle... Neville, Thanks for sharing the video. yup... it is really cool and i have been following up with it via Facebook. In fact, if no other university besides Stanford as the first, we might be the 2nd in the world offering a class on Facebook. That's National University of Singapore. I am going to miss it coz i am still not back in Singapore yet. http://stanford.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14275350327 Noah,

If that were true we would have no marketers. The other two I buy wholeheartedly. Hope you had a great time in Argentina. My greatest thrill was getting to spend some time one weekend looking at some eighty year old couples dancing the tango in one of the town squares in Buenos Aires. Oh how beautifully they danced. Oh I wish that in a couple of decades when I get there I can be that graceful. Thanks for bringing back fond memories. Not all products market themselves.
