I know this is going to sound way to simple but it is amazing when I ask this question how few people can tell me the answers. And no the answer can't be Anyone that does not want to carry around 20,000 cd's. But here are my questions, and by the way there is genius in simplicity...
Why you?(your client)
Why me?(your company or product)
Why now?(timing is everything)
Now if you can answer these things hammer away. Like a good trial attorney once said repeatedly: "If the glove don't fit, you can't convict"

Really simple video on RSS feeds
I'm a big fan of RSS feeds because of the way they simplify my time online. I subscribe to feeds from about 50 blogs, as well as everything from daily news from Journal Gazette and the latest entries on the Snopes.com Urban Legends site. With a quick browse through Google Reader, I cover a lot of ground in just a few minutes. If I had to visit these same pages individually to see when they were updated, I'd never keep up.
I'm such a big believer in RSS that last night I planned to find a video explaining how it works so I could post it here. Well lo and behold, The Good City has beat me to it, posting about Common Craft's "RSS in Plain English" video earlier today. In just three minutes, you'll learn how to save yourself hours a month.
So, how did I find out about the Good City post? An RSS feed to Google Reader, of course.

Who need _________________ (Problem/Situation)
By doing this _______________ (What)
And you know where most stumble?
With 670 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border fence slated for completion by year's end, construction companies in Texas are questioning the feasibility of completing such a project without immigrant labor. So let's get this right, we are going to build a fence to keep Mexicans out of the U.S. but we need the people that we are trying to keep out to build it, HUH!
