Inspired by Joi Ito’s musing on vanity as a business model, I’m now at work on a new best business best seller: Seven Deadly Sins, One Hell of a Market.

Sample chapters:

Envy-based marketing
6540 Google results for “don’t be the last.”

Covetousness-based marketing
11,300 Google results for “dies with the most toys”

Anger-based marketing
254,000 Google results for Nader+president

Gluttony-based marketing
2,580,000 Google results for buy+delicious

Lust-based marketing
3,580,000 Google results for buy+sexy

>

Sloth-based marketing
5,520,000 results for buy+sleep

Vanity-based marketing
25,200,000 Google results for “blog”!
