The old adage was that there’s no such thing as bad PR.

A while ago, Russell wrote a fantastic piece on light pollution. Then he followed it up recently with this thought about micro-campaigns…
Then I came across this image today, while reading Right-Half Chow.
I won’t blather on about it - but they’re all worth looking at or reading…

Good article to read from strategy+business - go here to read it.
It’s all based on an original paper, written by Eric Raymond, called “The Cathedral and the Bazaar.”
