Seth's post hit me too. I sent the link to friends and they all came back with "Loved it!" I know many folks who work for cog-shops and feel like they do more meeting than creating and doing.
By the way, Seth's memes spread so well, I think, because he keeps comments turned off. It's a clever way to get a lot of Achoos. I just wish I could plant a big neon feed reader in every office of Corporate America with his posts. We'd see better products, happier employees and a stronger economy.
I agree, Seth's an important read. I realize folks in the marketing biz tend to be his main readers, but he's got a wisdom that transcends that field.

Guy Kawasaki interviewed Darren Rowse about Seth and his closed comment policy. Rowse came to an interesting conclusion - with closed comments it causes the discussion to be taken elsewhere, furthering the "sneeze".
This was no doubt one of seth's better posts lately. I tried an experiment on my blog once. I trackbacked to one of his posts, which always brings a nice bump in traffic, but I turned off comments for my post. I wanted to see if I could "re-sneeze" his brilliance from my blog's platform. Dismal results.
Lesson learned? Trackbacking to a remarkable post does not make your post remarkable. Post original, remarkable content and let people comment. Keep the community alive. Seth is one of a kind.

Maybe I'm the only person here, but I'm not really too much of a fan of Seth Godin's ideas all of the time...

Interesting concept.
I explored how it pertains to radio, here:
