In my experience, those first to market often suffer and sooner or later are passed by competitors who improve, re-invent and better market the original product or service. Does that mean every first-to-market strategy is a bad one? Only if information such as this is ignored and unplanned for. We need to pay attention to these numbers and these ideas.

Now that most of the business magazines have blogs, those blogs are all more highly read than this site. The gossip/business blog DealBreaker is relatively new, and gets 10 times the traffic of this site. And the big gurus in business blogging are all offline gurus as well like Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, and Tom Peters. BP is around 2500 in technorati ranking. Yes, I have much more traffic than I would have if I had started this blog one year later. But the paper cited above relates market leadership to first movers. My first (or at least early) mover advantage didn't help me defend this blog against business writers focused more on the mainstream. Businesspundit isn’t a market leader.
