I flagged this [Seth Godin blog](http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/01/no_one_knows_yo.html) because it so relevant to the credibility section of yesterday’s [blog](http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/archives/000404.html), calling for change in the industry analyst business.

> I’ve been reading the site for years. I figured that Nick (his nom de plume) was about 50, a burnt out engineer shopping at Fry’s and living in the Valley.
> 
> Go figure. A 13 year old kid starts a site that takes a nick out of the stock price of a Fortune 500 copy and so annoys them that they sue him against all better judgment.

A lot of analysts would love to have this level of influence. few do.
