I like Sivers' version because it was more thorough. But it's good to hear the same idea expressed by a new person in a new way. You need new iterations and personalities you trust to make things click. That's essential to them spreading.

And where Seth observed, "We need more guy #3s," Sivers called you to action: "When you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first person to stand up and join in.": http://sivers.org/ff

Just to be fair: Seth is a friend and I told him about it before he posted about it.

I posted about it on June 6: http://sivers.org/dance-lessons

Seth posted on June 10: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/06/guy-3.html

Not being competitive. Just making it clear I wasn't copying Seth's idea.

Interesting! I wasn't aware of your previous post. Thanks for clarifying.

Looks like Sivers is actually the 'first guy' and the one to bring it two the masses will be guy #3. : )

Guy #2 and #3 were definitely critical here. Both were needed, and in the same order. (Guy #3 didn't seem like he was willing to have been guy #2.)
