Marketing? How to win friends and influence people?

What's next on HN, dating advice? No, scratch that. It'll be how to 'hack' the perceptions of people so you can take advantage of them. I expect to see spam for Mystery Method here in short order. Swiftly followed by NLP and hypnosis courses.

Guy Kawasaki is undoubtedly a very bright individual, and I have even personally benefited from some of the advice given in his writings. But...not this. Not here.

I actually went to the site the read it. It is interesting. I saw the item about friendship. and it is in fact relies on citations from psychology to explain why people form friendships. Then it suggest if the observation from psychology is correct, then how can readers to use it as a double edge sword.

Sometime I feel even I know how to write code and build stuffs, but if I need to build something people wants, I need to gain insight into human psychology.

That may be, but this isn't the place.

On a related note, what's happened to Guy's site? There was a time I treated it as a reference for its useful advice on pitching VC's, public speaking, avoiding stupid mistakes... today it's all short-form, link-heavy posts, at least half of which are explicit self promotion.

I like Guy, but it's sad to see the way things have changed. Where's the meat?
