48. 8.12.2014 Dr. Ute HillmerDigital Marketing“The CluetrainManifesto (2001)”
95 Theses Excerpt
1. Markets are conversations.
12. There are no secrets. The networked market knows more than companies do about their own products. And whether the news is good or bad, they tell everyone.
17. Companies that assume online markets are the same markets that used to watch their ads on television are kidding themselves.
18. Companies that don't realize their markets are now networked person-to-person, getting smarter as a resultand deeply joined in conversation are missing their best opportunity.
19. Companies can now communicate with their markets directly. If they blow it, it could be their last chance.
21. Companies need to lighten upand take themselves less seriously. They need to get a sense of humor.
