This video comes from Startup School 2008. Mike talks about marketing your startup. Now just throw out what you “think” of Mike for the moment, you can pick your opinions up after you watch the video.

While the video focuses on startup marketing and getting noticed, I think that there are some really good ideas and information for everyone. There is also talk about users, community and social networks. There is also a 10 minute question time at the end. One of the questions is “How do you recover from bad press?”. Quite funny, but some really great strategies for doing so none the less. Also including some details and interesting insights from Arrington about what social media to use in order to market yourself. This stuff applies to the aspiring blogger not just the multi-million dollar start-up and A-list blogger.

One thing that really struck home for me is the value that media producers and bloggers need to have in their community. That is your audience and for us that means you guys. I can honestly say that one thing I value more than anything here in our community is the Eric’s, Herne’s, Knightwise’s, Ape’s, George’s, Doug’s, Brie’s, BlogSlut’s and all the rest that I have failed to mention. Thank you for all your support and being active contributors – without you the comments would be boring and we would feel like we were talking to ourselves.

OK now you can have your opinion’s back and love him or hate him.
