Bad economies like this one bring quick transparency to who is “real” and who is not.  Tony (Phonetag CFO) sent me an article that was in the New York Times yesterday of an interview with Guy Kawasaki.  I am not a big fan of Guy but I thought the interview was great and I particulary liked this excerpt:
