[edit] Not encyclopedic

"Seth Godin is known for a very visual, personal, and dynamic speaking style that has earned him a large following." This doesn't seem particularly encyclopaedic. WhiteCat 01:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Books

I didn't see any links or even a name about the book Godin coauthored. Any information on this should be easily available, right?

[edit] Claims removed

I just removed the "Seth Godin is known for a very visual, personal, and dynamic speaking style." bit. It had been tagged as needing sources since September when it also had "that has earned him a large following." tacked on the end. Someone removed the large following bit and the fact tag - but the whole claim needed sourcing, and I couldn't find any notable commentators that made a point of highlighting Godin's public speaking.

I also deleted the bit about him becoming known for philanthropy (also tagged since September). I couldn't find any reliable sources that supported either view as particularly significant. While the details of the Squidoo revenue to charity bit were verifiable on their own they don't really say anything about Godin and his reputation as a philanthropist. I couldn't find any notable commentators who seemed to be picking Godin out from th crowd as a notable philanthropist so I pulled the whole paragraph. -- SiobhanHansa 13:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
