As much as I agree, I am challenged not to defend an upside to con calls and marketing jerks who really don’t know what the heck they are talking about because they just love talking. In fact, it’s likely that the reason they don’t know what they are talking about is simply that they love what they see in their dreams and just talk too damn fast cause they are so bloody excited by some idea it their head, start to “what if” immediately and don’t find time to actually learn what they are talking about. But, with all this talking, all this energy and all the time that’s taken in the process of trying to get someone to understand what they really don’t know themselves there are always a few nuggets that do make sense and eventually after hours and hours of radio frequency emissions lost in ears listening into con calls, I generally find they do, in cases actually ask just enough questions to satisfy the next step to creating something. Not that I’m sticking up for my own circle jerk. Maybe marketers need to try and create a marketing tool to extract thoughts and disseminate them more effectively from marketers dreams to developers realities. Anyways – I really don’t know what I’m talking about and my con call has started so I’ll stop now. Sitting on hold and waiting for a con call to start while I read Joe’s muse.
