  1. Chapman contributed jokes to Shefer website by westendgirl · · Score: 1 · on The Product Marketing Handbook for Software, 4th Edition

    I'm not sure how you got 5 degrees. They both write for Pragmatic. And Chapman seems to know Shefer well enough to have contributed some one-liners to a "Top 10 List" on Shefer's site. This comes up in the Google link I posted.

    In that case, he deserves a spambot link:

    I looked up Daniel Schefer's website. He has written several articles for ProductMarketing.com. If you look up that site, you'll see that ProductMarketing.com is sponsored by Pragmatic Marketing. And who is Pragmatic Marketing? Well, it's a company that provides training seminars -- and they list Aegis Resources among their alumni. Aegis Resources is owned by Merrill Chapman, the guy who wrote the product marketing book. And Shefer (reviewer) and Chapman (author) seem to show up together in Google a few times.

    Now, I can't be sure, but it sounds like Slashdot published a carefully placed success story. I work in marketing, and I can't say I blame Shefer or Chapman. But I've never seen such a blatant placement on Slashdot before.
