The New Analysts

James Governor just redefined the technology analyst business. Go read it, especially if you were about to waste money with an industry analyst that thinks he/she can make or break you.

I was at a recent event when a well known industry analyst, who used to run a firm well known for writing white papers in support of vendor positions, sat down. I was discussing how blogs, RSS splicing and aggregation were going to change industry analyst and other information-based businesses. They sniffed and said that bloggers had no credibility. This from someone that sold their credibility down the river long ago.

This is an analyst I can work with, whatever he says about the company I work for.
