Hugh MacLeod's Quote for today

Hugh MacLeod, the noted Illustrator 2.0 is explaining yet again his Blue Monster 2.0 concept for Social  objects. That part is good, but he has stated it before. But he closes with my quote for the day:

"Ideas within companies are like people within companies. It doesn't matter how good they are, there has to be a cultural fit or else it's a complete waste if time; you're just fighting a losing battle."

He's right, of course. We can never overestimate the importance of culture.

Have you forgotten what Scoble looks like already? ;)

The other guy is my old friend Jeremy. He doesn't blog. Heck, I don't think he's even on Facebook or MySpace.

Jeremy and I go way back. We were hanging around each other the same time I came up with the "Cartoons drawn on the back of business cards" format, back in Chicago, 1997.
