Restarting And Marketing

I've been restarting a products company and the marketing has changed so much over the past few years! For example, on the good side:

• SugarCRM offers great value - open source, why spend 75K?
  
• SEO tools (I hope google's not reading this) - open source
• portals for Engineers - why leave your cube to find anything?
• and the best help a guy like me could ask for ...
• lots few trees cut down
• more time with the family
  

At the same time, there is some downside as well:

• the world has been replaced by voicemail
• email filters kill many requests
• shows are smaller and smaller
• margins are thinner
• channels are becoming lower cost
• prices are falling
• products are volume
  

It is sure a different place - and still lots of fun....
