Jeff Jarvis points out Inc Magazine’s new cover ‘Small is the new big’. Had to drop a comment on that site… as I excitedly showed my gf that exact cover yesterday in Borders – late last year I gave a talk on this ‘trend’…everything from localised power production, micro-finance, organic food, firefox, microformats, the $100 laptop. And of _course_ blogging.
I was trying to point out that being small is a good thing, and that we’ve got tools that flatten the competitive landscape…
But I reckon it’s not that ‘small is the new big’ but that that there’s a reversing of the bell curve.
I.e. we’ve got small _and_ big – but just not much in between.
