Funnel Marketing or Advertising Squidoo?

Is Godin’s latest thing really a new perspective on marketing or a not-so-veiled advertising ploy for Squidoo? I’ll let you be the judge.

funnel to megaphoneIf you’ve read it–another question: does the megaphone metaphor work? If the funnel works, as Godin even agrees, by prospects entering at the wide side and customers exiting at the small end–how can the idea of flipping that same funnel, and rearranging which end = in and which out, make any sense? Wouldn’t the obvious, and more accurate, way to illustrate his point is a funnel like the figure on the right?
