Wow. A blog posting an image of a Twitter post. That's like uberspam.

I think that companies ought to hire just the Ruthlessly Honest Dick, and let its product users become evangelists. If you're good enough, shouldn't that just happen?

Thanks for being a ruthlessly honest dick.

How about make something good enough that the ruthlessly honest dick can be the evangelist.

This seems to be Apples strategy.

I didn't want to explicitly say Apple, but yeah. That's what I was thinking. Once your dick has nothing to say, he's an evangelist.
