Comments on: Marketing as Blood Sport http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2008/03/12/marketing-as-blood-sport/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:44:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ed Brill http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2008/03/12/marketing-as-blood-sport/comment-page-1/#comment-240594 Ed Brill Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:33:52 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2008/03/12/marketing-as-blood-sport/#comment-240594 I would love to see a market where all vendors could focus on their own message, and not have to bash competition. Unfortunately, some vendors make it a blood sport, and it's impossible for their competition to take the high road and ignore it. Many parallels to politics.
