I don't mind sphinning stuff for friends or associates, but I beg people to at least take a look at it before you sphinn, digg, etc. That said, I don't blame Dan one bit for sending it to folks, I'd do the same.
Of course Twitter will die, as will MySpace, Facebook and other current technologies. Pretty stale entry overall as just seems to be rehashing of what others have said before.
Good comprehensive post that I was able to pass along to PR and marketing collegues that still doubt the power of social media.
That's the INTENT of my statements... of course, at the time I didn't even know the audience was full of SEOs!!! I never knew how many folks even worked in SEO until a year later when Danny brought up the quote for a second time and folks went crazy.
Just to be clear, you didn't know the audience at SES was full of SEOs? Seriously?
Is there really such a think as making "too much money?" How much, exactly, does the author believe is too much?
Do we have to counter each "bitching" article with an "SEOs makeout session" article?
Let's leave the "genius" tag at home for now. Stamping your feet for attention does not merit the bestowed title of genius. Unless of course, you count likewise attention whores Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan as fellow geniuses.
Unethical? I'm not sure that ethics has anything to do it. Personally, I'd stay away from the practice, but to each his own.
I think the article is akin to another Sphinn article that discusses asks "Which blogging style are you?" Seeing what voice, style and structure works for others is a great way to help your own blog
There are limitations of course, as no one will be able to completely capture the same style as, for example, the Onion. Even if you do, most will see it as a rip off of the original.
The best advice, as always, is to read as many diverse styles as possible and use bits and pieces towards your own unique voice.
As a former PR practitioner, this was right down my alley. It's been an interesting battle getting former co-workers and friends in the PR industry to "get" what I do. Unfortunately, a lot of PR practitioners and marketers see SEO as one more thing taking precious dollars away from their own firms.

Because it sucks or because on the first full day, the program didn't work as anticipated?
Story: Wordpress 2.3 You Suck
WordPress 2.3 may very well suck (I haven't touched it yet), but is it really any surprise that some (or all) of the plug-ins don't work correctly?
I know everyone loves to be the first one to say something sucks, but I think a little more time and research is necessary.
As a former public relations practitioner now in the SEM realm, it's always interesting to find clients or their competitors who do not have their releases (past and present) available online. When I was starting in the PR industry, the agency I worked for strongly advised clients to get their press releases onto their Web site (and into a newsroom) purely for informational purposes. As you can (or can't) imagine, it was often a battle of titanic proportions just to get the releases on the site. I'm glad, years later, that those decisions continue to be validated.
Thanks for the article Loren.
Thanks for changing the title Danny, I'm glad you enjoyed Matt's piece.
Thanks for adding Fathom SEO to your list. I'm curious, how many sites you reviewed in preparation for this blog post?
