"I was listening to the radio this morning about Canada's similar program being exposed -- and i'm amazed the extent to which so many people have given up on the very idea of privacy. We accept big brother with no checks and balances based on a culture of fear that has been created by gov't and media. Time to re-watch Manufacturing Consent again." - leigh himel

"Freshbooks & dropbox exchange discounts on product for referrals. Generates huge sharing especially when coupled with users who are already passionate about the products." - leigh himel

"and easier is of course, a completely relative term. easy compared to almost impossible :)" - leigh himel

"I doubt that is the point. The name of the show is modern family and none of the women on the show work outside the home. That is certainly not typical anymore and is more reflective of the TV shows of the 1950's." - leigh himel

"world's most expensive CMS system. :)" - leigh himel

"the death part of of course intentional. i still miss mybloglog. :(" - leigh himel

"people kinda do that all the time when they share branded photography but it's not the same as targeted advertising and it's earned vs. paid media. its the paid media i'm confused about." - leigh himel

"but the post will be one on my tumblr? i'm not sure i'm getting it. i guess i'll have to wait and see" - leigh himel

"ack so my beautiful tumblr is going to have ads all over it? that pains me...." - leigh himel

"Fred's comments around Agencies getting all excited about their 15 second TV spots ..... i'm not sure this is what clients mean when they say social at the heart :)" - leigh himel

"As a marketer and a tumblr user, i'm trying to figure out how yahoo is going to be using the platform. Twitter advertising has been a challenge from a results perspective IMO for the brands we work with. I guess we'll see. Marissa is brilliant but it is still Yahoo. http://leighhimel.blogspot.ca/..." - leigh himel

"for the non new yorkers, is someone going to record so you can post it?" - leigh himel

"best reference i could find was here although not sure it's his (dsn't look like it's gaping void) http://www.highexistence.com/i..." - leigh himel

"hard decision but how awesome is that? in a corporate environment, that CEO would get a huge bonus and then entire team underneath them fired. the team is the product. making sure they are inspired is everything." - leigh himel

"there's a mcluhan quote about not looking backwards into the future that i love. we get the same thing when designing UX all the time... a redesign we did for GMCanada - we wanted drop down menus - no one had them - and they failed in xcountry testing. The client didn't care bc she liked them and recognized that just bc large corp weren't doing it didn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do. leading isn't about what the other guys do." - leigh himel

"Can a drone give massages? At least they could probably walk on my back!" - leigh himel

"That wasn't a glass full or empty comment, it was a statement of fact. I say build it without funds personally. So probably i'm the biggest optimist of them all. :)" - leigh himel

"I'm not sure the BEST strategy is the one that hasn't been done before, but it definitely is the one you are going to learn the most from. Just as you know though especially in Canada, it's the one that will have the trouble getting any funds...." - leigh himel

"that's cool. I'm working on a project engaging youth filmmakers across Canada and doing workshops etc. including at risk youth and kids who normally woudn't get an opportunity. It's really hard to find the them (especially if you do it outside the school system) but once you find them, omg blow one's mind creative/smart/awesome. as i said to someone in my team, i wish i could do this all the time." - leigh himel

"Yep i never mind if it's the right thing -- just when it's the wrong thing. Trouble is, who gets to decide?" - leigh himel

":)" - leigh himel

"seems way more black and white then it is in reality. Nelson Mandela wouldn't have been allowed to immigrate to the US based on your criteria. #justsaying" - leigh himel

"Yep." - leigh himel

"The Harper Gov't is known for it's behind closed doors getting shit passed through = lack of transparency. "The party in power decide it wanted to act so the Canadian gov't allowed them to do so" -- actually the party in power IS the Cnd Gov't - again good thing? Not so much." - leigh himel
