Re: What Tiger’s Silence Should Teach You About Social Media - http://www.socialmediaexplorer.com/2009...
"Tiger is totally a brand - that's why car companies, athletic equipment, and others all use him as a "spokesman" for their brands in TV and print. Michael Phelps learned that last year. When you are making tons of money by using your image to sell other peoples' products, you have to treat your image like a brand. Yes, there are the legal implications - but those don't preclude making sure that your brand - personal or corporate - is represented by you when it's being debated by everyone else."

Re: What Tiger’s Silence Should Teach You About Social Media - http://www.socialmediaexplorer.com/2009...
"The days of "no comment" meaning that news media give up and go follow a story with interest are over. There are rabid bloggers on the internet who can *make* a story in the absence of any real information... and people who used to buy tabloids now stir it up on the Internet instead. Participate or live with the impression that other people create for you or your brand."

Re: Women In Tech - http://andrewhy.de/women-i...
"Every single semester that I taught the intro to programming course there was at least ONE guy who felt the need to say "oh great, we're being taught by a chick?" the first day. Startups are one thing - but sexism is very much alive and well in the tech industry. It takes a special kind of strong-willed woman to face it and succeed despite it. I could introduce you to dozens of women in their 20s-40s who could share stories with you - but what's the point? I'll go ahead and remind you now tho that Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper were "at the barn dance" well before most men... it's not that the women are only just now peeking in."

Re: Lets All Do The Crowdsource - http://learntoduck.com/startup...
"Love the post Micah, but don't necessarily agree on the wisdom of a crowd, unless the crowd is made up of not just passionate users, but also predominantly wise ones. The proverbial lemmings are a crowd - not a wise one. As you put it? The wisdom is in broadening your pool of intellectual resources. It takes someone wise enough at the helm to say "yes, this is a good solution/idea/map" or equally no, in order to make the idea useful. I would posit that for every Threadless, you also have an example where the community has been overrun by either the clueless or the scurrilous. The front page of Digg is a good example of a community that used to be passionate and informative a is now passionate but not as informative. Oh, and yeah, I get sick of hearing "crowdsource" as a substitute for "tricking someone else into doing the work for us for free!" ick."

Re: The difference between ad:tech and Blogworld - http://www.pmorganbrown.com/2009...
""The people that control the money have yet to make the leap." You know, part of this is that the people who advise the people who control the money have yet to make the leap as well. I cannot begin to explain the number of times in the past year I have said to someone with a background of traditional ad agency thinking: "Social Media isn't just digital marketing on someone's social networking platform. Just because you use a tool that can be used by Social Media Marketing doesn't mean that you are *doing* Social Media Marketing. eMail can be used as a SM tool, but it can also be used as a direct marketing tool. The tool doesn't dictate the methodology, it's the other way around." Have I been understood when I said that? Mostly, no. I get a nod of the head and "yeah, yeah, yeah, of course!!" and the very next thing that I've heard strategically from the person who agreed so vehemently is essentially the equivalent of the banner ad on Facebook. I've talked to Marketing people in..."

Re: The chat room/forum problem (& an apology to @Technosailor) - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"You have managed to generate some *passionate* discussions the past couple of days Robert! I do rather wonder where we all go next. I've actually been using Facebook way more than I used to, strictly because Twitter has gotten more broadcast than conversational of late with the influx of people. I've also taken to reading more blogs than I used to because of the desire for finding information that interests me rather than (as you put it) 'cat pictures'. I suspect you're not quite as enamored of 'controlled' conversations as you posit here though Robert... as it is the unplanned encounter that changes our viewpoint best. Still - we all have our threshholds. Sometimes you just need to walk away from some places, scale back on others, and ramp up others. I think you're finding your balance. :)"

Re: Twitter Lists- Im Not Down - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/twitter...
"I outlined it more thoroughly in my own post today, but as to how the Lists can be scammed more easily than even following? Only if you're willing to go through and see if 1) the lists are all by different accounts and 2) they are all positive lists (is Chris on 50 good lists or 50 negative lists? or maybe 25 of each?) then will it be useful. Putting the number on peoples' profiles indicates it's a metric when it really isn't."

Re: Twitter’s lists make Chris Brogan feel bad - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"Makes sense... but think about all the time we're going to have to invest in maintaining these lists. I'd rather spend that time interacting with people. It's why I've never really managed to twig to the groups feature on 3d party apps - I just don't want to spend the time updating/maintaining them when I could be twittering! :)"
- Lucretia Pruitt
Re: Twitter’s lists make Chris Brogan feel bad - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"I think I get that. You know, before I got rid of them yesterday, you were the first person I added to my "People Who Make Me Think" list. You're still top of that list, even if it's not a formal "list" on Twitter any more. I may not always agree with your conclusions but I do always find that you make me examine my own perspective and analysis and that more often than not, you add to my awareness. I'm very honored to be on your follow list Robert, but I'm even more fortunate to follow you. You're the one who originally made me see the power of twitter and who you follow being more important than who follows you. I've learned a lot thanks to you the past couple of years. Thanks Robert!"
- Lucretia Pruitt
Re: Twitter Lists- Im Not Down - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/twitter...
"addendum: Someone else (whom I won't name b/c it was a DM) just mentioned to me the fact that subjectivity plays a huge part in lists that cause issues. Let's say I was making a list of "Social Media Thought Leaders" but (strictly hypothetically) I couldn't stand you Chris, or I always disagreed with your viewpoints. Am I likely to put you on the list because I know that you are, in fact, one of those leaders despite the fact that I don't want to follow or endorse you? Lists are going to prove to be a bigger negative than a positive in the long run. There are "shoulds" -- people *should* use lists to enlighten other users, they *should* not be offended or hurt if they are left off of a list... and there are realities -- people will use lists to manipulate, game the system, increase their perceived influence, troll, malign others and people will be offended and hurt if they feel left out by someone whom they care for or respect."

Re: A loss for words. - http://learntoduck.com/micah...
"I always come to your blog a day or two after you write something that makes me cry... You have such a way with making me wish I were around for more of your stories and your insight. I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother - she must've been one amazing woman given how much just a couple of paragraphs makes me wish I'd known her. My heart goes out to your whole family, Micah. Clearly though, you are just one of many of an amazing family. And yeah, I think you're pretty amazing. "Black sheep" or not. Take care of you, my friend. ((hug)) Some day? Let's grab a cup of coffee - you can tell me more stories about your Babu... I'd love to hear them."

Re: Twitter Lists- Im Not Down - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/twitter...
"Do you recall how I met you? You had this really awesome idea that would help new users - Twitter Packs. I railed and ranted and posted against it. It was exclusionary and contrary to the open and non-elite nature of Twitter!! Oh, and I mistakenly thought it was sexist...(word choice, I admitted I was wrong.) This was back in 2007, right? I'm glad you and I are on the same page now. At least with your wiki idea anyone could edit a list/pack... now? Now we've got a whole new game for people to play thanks to Twitter. I will never really understand why people think that it's okay to make other people feel crappy and left out simply because they don't care whether or not someone leaves them out. The justification I keep hearing for why it's okay to make people feel that way? That they shouldn't. Let's start acknowledging the reality versus the ideals. If everyone you know was invited to a party but you weren't - it feels like crap. You aren't going to go to the host and say "hey... um,..."
- Lucretia Pruitt
Re: Twitter’s lists make Chris Brogan feel bad - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"Actually, there's kind of an irony to me about this whole discussion. I met Chris over the whole "Twitter Packs" idea - which I said was exclusionary and contrary to the public spirit of Twitter back in what? 2007? It was his idea and I understood where it came from and how it was intended to be helpful. But I also sow how it could damage the community. Now I'm on the same side of the table as Chris - and the opposite of yours. Lists *could* be great - if everyone approached them from the viewpoint you do. But they won't Robert. They'll be misused, abused, and a whole new source of twitter gaming. Where people used to try and amass follower numbers to convince others they had reach and influence, they will soon game list numbers. How long before accounts are created that solely "list" a series of users names under tags like "social media" "social media guru" "thoughtleader" etc so that the number that says "lists" under their name is high? How long before we start getting the..."

Re: Twitter’s lists make Chris Brogan feel bad - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"http://twitter.com/listing... Yep. I was curious what lists I was being included on... this lovely troll account popped up. Blocking it solved my issue - but this will become more and more common shortly. Fun having to track that sort of thing down all the time, eh? Would be particularly fun if that showed up on your Google search (not.)"

Re: Why Speakers Shouldn’t Be Paid - http://andrewhyde.net/why-spe...
"So, let me get this straight... You want me to TEACH people information and skills that it took me years to get - but you think I should do that for free? Yeah. Not. I go to conferences that ARE community to give back and speak for them for free. But when you've got someone charging hundreds, even thousands of dollars, to participants? They are paying me for my time, my knowledge, and my experience. I'm sure as heck not going to make them tons of money as a "charitable" experience. I speak at BlogHer for free because that's a community that is one I give back to. But I won't ever speak for free for someone who just wants to profit off of information, experience, and knowledge that it took me years to acquire no matter how passionate I am about what I do. Sorry, but you missed the mark here 100% in my book Andrew."

Re: Antifeatures: big mistake that location app developers make - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
"Agreed. One of the biggest reasons it's an "anti-feature"? There's no opt-out. Until someone has been stalked by a psychopath? You can't really understand why there are those of us who absolutely hate to use an app that *forces* you to disclose your exact location. Heck, most "normal" people freak out when they see the aerial view from Google Maps (also helpful to stalkers) - forced disclosure = dangerous for personal safety."

Re: Community Can Be SO Powerful - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/communi...
"This has been sitting on an open tab all day waiting for me to have the chance to read it... well worth the read (as always.) But I'm still a bit conflicted, if I'm honest. I'm hating the way people interchange "community" with "collective" and "being a part of your community" with "decision by committee"... Are communities created or do they develop? Are they organic or artificial? Are they solid entities or overlapping venn diagrams? Perhaps I don't get "community" as it's being used by so many these days. Fortunately, the communities I feel a part of seem to not get it right along with me... because I'd hate the lack of freedom of anything else. Still, you are a catalyst for these ponderings Mr. Brogan - and that's a good thing."

Re: Community Can Be SO Powerful - http://www.chrisbrogan.com/communi...

Watching Conan the Barbarian, quoting far too much of it, analyzing too much of it altogether (like did they get all of the out of work Star Trek (original show) musicians together to do the score? It's way too similar.)

Coding an iPhone application which connects to Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, and fetches RSS feeds off the web :)

Scampering between sites/browser-tabs like a headless chicken is hardly geeky but that's what I've been doing this Sunday morning. Google Reader, Friendfeed, Facebook, Twitter, Social Median, Lazy Feed, et. al.
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
Setting my Ruby on Rails environment up on my new Windows Laptop. I know it's the easiest platform to do it on, with InstantRails, but might install it on Linux, just for the crack :) And checking out the Mosso plans.

Drinking my morning coffee.....
- Roberto Bonini
it's unlikely to be me - checking friendfeed while things compile (contributing to a linux distro this week), reading up on vtiger (coincidence? someone is vtigering above), and wondering what's for lunch
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Reading Robert's friendfeed updates IS the geekiest thing one can do ^^

Geeky/cultural - going through my favorite Woodstock performances on blip.fm.
- jcunwired
....multi-tasking between sourcing UI icons for a new app, scanning FF live feed, coding PHP, browsing Seesmic and now commenting on a thread where i appear not to be geekiest person here on a Sunday. Oh, and now i have too many tabs open in firefox, so i'm using Safari as a fill-in.
- Matthew Ogston
everyon'es working around me and im on friendfeed. lol
- nivcalderon
Browsing Google Reader, Friendfeed best of day, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Social Median, Twine while copying a video off my Flip & uploading to Viddler... and on my iPhone: getting the Kindle & audible format of a @TedDekker book (Showdown) to take along on my kayaking trip down the Juniata river this afternoon. In the background, Mythbusters is busy figuring out how the Hindenburg blew up.
- Courtney Engle
ohhhh.. i forgot: downloading my entire list of domains for backup before moving servers. Add FTP to the list. and drinking freshly ground coffee in my french press travel mug. The coffee was purchased from a Guatemalan farmer my sister met while there.
- Courtney Engle
A couple of people have mentioned coffee. I just had my tea (I'm not from England). I think that may be even more geeky than drinking coffee!

I'm backing up The Internet. And storing it in the cloud.
- Micah Wittman
Micah +1!. Better than me - sister in law just dropped of HP laptop with Vista and said "it's slower now." so I get to play with the cleaning of spyware and the uninstalling of a billion little apps that HP feels are so necessary that they should be part of startup just to ensure that it takes a full 5-10 minutes before you can use the machine. But I'm not bitter.
- Michael Pardee
I'm commenting on this post. Can life get more "geeky?"

Ripping Hogan's Hereos DVDs to make H.264 files for later playing on Apple TV. It's good to carry on in comments here as it shows FF that there is a continuing need and use of the FF ways of doing things. If this was on Facebook, I could not send a comment to Robert unless he friended me. Things are just so much tighter and efficient here.
- Keith Rowland
About the only other thing we could ask for in comments, is comments on comments.
