"I am using ping.fm too. When I wrote this article - in September of 2006 - the world of social media was very different. I agree that leveraging accounts through one touchpoint can make a huge difference not only in time saving but also in overall usage of a service." - Eric

"It Works!" - Eric

"Wow I didn't realize the spot was down. All companies should have a place where these assets live online forever - even youtube would work." - Eric

"Yes!" - Eric

"Yikes! Well, let us know what happens." - Eric

"First off - THANK YOU. Just know I have been looking for this file for quite some time. For the prize; please respond to my email I sent through via ericfriedman (At} gmail . Com Thanks!" - Eric

"Not sure it ever really caught on, but its still for sale." - Eric

"Is this available through any official source?" - Eric

"Thanks" - Eric

"I think its a little of both. Surfacing that information will happen more, and we will hopefully move to a system that accounts for everyone's vote. Early voting I think is key and will spread 4 years from now." - Eric

"I agree - they should not expire either." - Eric

this is pretty funny - Eric

"But you just did :) You are right though..." - Eric

"I am not sure. I will ask the folks involved - I think for the person it might, but why would either person sit through that for more than a month or so? Cracks me up..." - Eric

"Exactly. That is the human element I was trying to convey here - but missing from the CS rep." - Eric

"I am actually happy to hear from the other side on this issue. I tried to point out that fault may be with the management of the company - and my hope is that people recognize that this type cycle does nobody any good. CS reps are mad at bosses, customers are mad, and bosses have higher churn... The cycle has to stop somewhere." - Eric

"Sorry to hear that. Sometimes all you need is somebody to say "hey, that sucks and I would be mad too. Let me help you fix it". Sadly, that rarely happens. I hope you got the issue resolved - if not, keep emailing support." - Eric

"Ha - always thinking about the SEO implications. Good idea." - Eric

"Thanks for stopping by!" - Eric

"I think the two way interview is a strong analogy. People should consider who the potential employer is at the same time a potential employer is judging them. If a potential employer has an offer to work at a company using an @aol address (assuming its not AOL) I would definitely be cautious as to what they are offering." - Eric

"Basically its worth it to brand your identity...so yes." - Eric

"Hopefully your leisure and love activities will turn into something you can make a living with. Especially in today's times enjoying what you do is most important." - Eric

"Show up everyday :) I started this blog as a way to talk back to the huge online community. The first week before starting was daunting - what do I write about? What if no one shows up? Then once I took the first step (writing the first post) I just kept the momentum going. Sometimes its tough but when people comment or link it makes it worthwhile. Step 1 is finding something you are passionate about and speaking your voice. The rest will follow." - Eric

"Thanks" - Eric

"Thanks" - Eric

"Nice" - Eric

"Ha! Perhaps she will come onto his show and he will get the chance. Percentage likelihood = 0%" - Eric

"definitely one you will have to do yourself." - Eric

"Right. If you discover you ARE wasting a moment - make a change." - Eric

"Thats ok - would be interested to hear top level at some point if you wanted to show a case study." - Eric
