<p>Seth spoke about the new book due out in December,</p>
<p>A meatball is a nutritious meal - it can be likened to your products.  On the other hand fudge sundaes are the empty calories, the treats and toppings that might lure you into the restaurant - the marketing and social media tactics that attract traffic.</p>
<p>And they definitely work, says Godin, but not when they are on meatballs.</p>
<p>He walked us through the 14 trends that he says are changing everything:.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style=Direct Communication - there is an increasing amount of direct communication between producers and consumers. The ease of publishing means more and more feedback mechanisms are appearing.
  • Tell an Authentic Story - there are so many sources of information you need to tell an authentic story to capture that elusive attention.

  • The Long-Tail - Reaching niche markets and providing content that appeals to them will garner success.  Few organizations are embracing this idea.

  • The influence of Google and Other Search Engines -information on demand and bundled services.

  • Consumers Are Talking to Each Other- marketplaces have indeed become conversations.

  • A 'big idea' can reach a large number of people - a 'big idea' is something that changes the world or the big idea's direct environment forever.

  • Where is the money? - It's getting harder to tell who has the money.  But the gap is widening. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
