Just a thought: Marketing is part strategy and part tactics. We loose out some time cause we focus too much on the later. Tactics are good but if it complies with the strategy!
ICWAI and Chris Rogers liked this
Right you are, planning is part of the overall strategy, but planning also encompasses the tactics that will deliver the strategy!

Can't have one without the other.
- Chris Rogers
from BuddyFeed
Indeed it is! Tactics deliver results and planning helps in keeping ourselves focused and not get lost in the bling of the tactics.. :) Thanks for commenting Chris & TrafficBug
- Suhel Khan
Tactics will accelerate and support progress and results if deployed in parallel and toward clearly spelled out strategic objectives. So true Suhel, Chris, trafficBug
- Alexander Kitingan
I second your thoughts Alexander. :)

Gtalk is fine in my pidgin client and on my G1...
- Archangel ωαřмaiden
Unfortunately, I cannot use Pidgin to connect to GTalk behind our firewall...unless you know of a way to get it to work over port 80.
- Alex Scoble
I'm using Pidgin. You can't get it working via proxy or STUN server?

I don't get it...how does GTalk work over port 80 but not Pidgin talking to GTalk? I'Z CONFUZLED

Ahmed, I believe Robert is trying to distinguish between the product and the platform.
- Louis Gray
Seems strange that after more than 2 years nobody has been able to top the iPhone. This speaks very high of Apple ...and very low of the rest.
- Jordi Soler
I read in FT about Android OS that there was update known as 1) cupcake 2) Donut 3) Eclair and now speculation, 4)some bakery product beginning F and then 5)something beginning with G, probably "GPhone" ? I hope that update will bring something to cheer.
- ashish
I forgot to add that the next Android update is called "Flan".
- ashish
ashish, great deduction there... it's well known that their OS codenames have been derived from pastry... and one could also assume that the alpha and beta OS versions were pastries starting with the letters a and b, respectively, of course.
- Chris Heath
Droid may not live up to the iPhone standard. But, to the extent all platforms are innovating to catch up to Apple, we all benefit from better products.

That's too bad. Verizon is my current carrier and I'm overdue to upgrade my phone. I'm a Mac fan and would love to own an iPhone but there's no way I'm putting up with AT&T's bad coverage to do it.

here too - it's a nice fringe benefit!
- Chris Rogers
I know in WA, you do get the option to be covered, but spousal coverage can be prohibitively expensive (not to mention if you commit the sin of also being a teacher - no double coverage.) Even your plan could use some help in some places :)

- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
non-geek
- chaz2b
@Marco Fabbri: Nerd != Geek. In SML Dictionary, Nerds have no fashion sense and can't talk to people, Geeks generally have a fashion sense and can carry on a conversation relatively ok; nerds usually wear white t-shirts and white sneakers; Geeks generally wear black t-shirts and black sneakers. A classic example: Nerd = Bill gates; Geek = Steve Jobs!
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML
depends on what we are geeking out about. if we're talking about music, shoes, spinning, dyeing, yarn, german history, b movies and zombies- then ubergeek.

@See-ming Lee that is indeed controversial. Anyway as choice was given between geek and non-geek I meant some degree of nerd counts as geek.

@Marco Fabbri Well I think that all geeks are nerds, but all nerds != geeks. I believe that Set(Geek) includes Set(Nerd) but this is a question I have been thinking about for years now and I don't yet have a conclusion yet. But at least that's where I'm at now!

The way I look at it, most of my friends primarily use Facebook OR Twitter. A few use both, and a few have YouTube Accounts. They don't read RSS feeds or use Google Reader or Digg or StumbleUpon. Therefore, non-geeks cannot see the benefits of this aggregation power (anyone agree or not?)

I realized today that, in general, we benefit from much greater freedoms than our forefathers did 200 years ago. Think about that one, the next time someone says something like "if our founding fathers had felt that should be in the Constitution they would have put it in themselves" in a political argument.

Women can vote. People of all colors, creeds and ethnicities can live and work just about anywhere in this country. People aren't persecuted for their beliefs on a wide scale. Freedom of speech is largely greater than it is today (albeit mainly through better technology, not better government).

We are free to be constantly surveilled, optically and electronically, by our government and corporations, and the data collected used against us without our knowledge. They shoulda thought of that one. We are less free to exercise our right to travel than ever in the past.

Americans 200 years ago rioted over taxes on tea. Think about that. They were easily pissed off.
- Alex Scrivener
And you are totally wrong, LogEx...because of technology, we are much more free to fly to just about anywhere in the world. You couldn't go very far 200 years ago.
- Alex Scoble
And Americans didn't riot simply because of tea, Alex. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back...plus it didn't help that rum was cheap enough for them to get drunk on it before rioting. :)
- Alex Scoble
But you have to cough up your identity, and sometimes your possessions and papers, in order to try to travel, even within the US. The CBP has asserted that you have no Constituional rights within 100 miles of any border - this includes something like 80% of the US population.

The Constitution shouldn't be changed lightly, but they couldn't have forseen everything. In many ways, we do have much greater freedoms, but in many other ways, we have less. Some of things they did put in are getting trampled. We live in a much more authoritarian society today than we have over our history.
- LogEx
Many ways we have less? I completely disagree. The difference in the level of the freedoms we've gained collectively, vs those that have been erroded (we haven't lost any) is huge.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
People who are afraid will easily give up their freedom in return for security. In the time of distress, freedoms should be held on even more tightly. People forget that parts of our society have gone thru times when they had no rights.
- Kim Landwehr
I don't personally see the decrease in states rights as an erosion of our personal freedoms, particularly when states have so often gotten the area of personal freedoms wrong.
- Alex Scoble
agree with Alex re states rights
- Chris Rogers
The point of states rights is to allow different states to do different things. If you don't like the laws in New York, move to Virginia. Federal laws cannot be escaped without leaving the country, which is a much higher hurdle.
- Alex Scrivener
But there are minimums that states must meet, which is as it should be. They can't do anything unconstitutional, for example. But allowing variation is wise, as our population is varied, and it provides a manner of competition.
- LogEx
Exactly, the constitution provided limits on the states as well as the Federal government.
- Alex Scrivener
Hell, Alex, we can settle this easily. Let's ask Thomas Hawk how easy it's been photographing the outsides of various office buildings. I'm sure he'll tell you what a picnic that's been. FREEDOM, BEE-YOTCHES.

Sprint Dropping Call Forwarding Fees in Support of Google Voice? - http://jkontherun.com/2009...
I suspect Sprint expects to save money on voicemail infrastructure. In other words, Sprint customers who use Google Voice will not use Sprint's voicemail, thus driving down Sprint's cost to support voicemail. It's very interesting to see the savings are significant enough to warrant this move, assuming there is not another driving factor.

- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Yep. A bunch of others with suspected. I have heard (from a variety of sources, 2 of them who work in health care) that the only strain of flu going around now is H1N1 anyway. All of them are fine now.
- Laura H.
But to have suspected influenza, all you need to have is a fever and a cough and/or sore throat. I'm not sure all those cases are actually influenza, H1N1 or otherwise. The only way to know for sure is to culture it, which almost no one ever does.
- Victor Ganata
I know several - all ok so far

Victor: A snippet from a FB friend's post regarding his family's H1N1 bout: "...and only mild hacking remains of our torturous 30 days of hell." One of the only 2 or 3 times I've ever had a case of influenza resulted in being quite sick for nearly a month. I'm not a big fan of contracting any strain of flu.
- Christopher A Carr
Back in March my toddler (was 18mo at the time) contracted the flu. She had some cold symptoms during the day, nothing unusual for a kid, definitely nothing I thought to take seriously. She went from eh, she's got a cold, to barely breathing in under an hour. The doctor called it acute onset and said it happened mostly to the very old and the very young. I have a new respect for the influenza virus, in any strain.
- Heather Solos
I do, now. My brother's girlfriend has it. Confirmed by lab test this afternoon.
- Rochelle
I, myself, had it...and got over it without meds. (I didnt know i had it until the very end of its course.)
- Marissa
According to a friend of mine in Madison, WI, so many people have it that they aren't testing for it anymore. They just assume that it is h1n1. When she was sick, that's what they told her (and why they didn't test her).
- Katy S
my gastro doc sent me a letter told me to get the shot for both kinds but to avoid the nose spray - I'm on immunesuppresants so...
- WarLord
Now that flu season has started again, it'll be interesting to see what will happen to the population of flu viruses. Will H1N1 continue to dominate? Or will it level off as the other variants begin increasing.
- Victor Ganata
The shot is comprised of inactivated proteins that will allow your immune system to recognize the influenza virus. It can't actually cause the flu, although the body's immune response itself can make some people feel sick. The nasal spray is live attenuated virus, so, yeah, it's not recommended if you're immunosuppressed.
- Victor Ganata
Give me a few days. Since we had a confirmed outbreak of H1N1 here in my town, the local hospital is doing cultures on everyone who comes in with legitimate symptoms. Fortunately the town hasn't gone all panicky-crazy, so there's not been this flood of people who think they're sick. I think people are just being cautiously optimistic and going about their regular lives.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I do.
- Anne Bouey
Currently, 96% of all flu cases that are typed are Type A. 98% of all those type As that are subtyped are H1N1. So basically, 94% of all flu out there right now is H1N1, whether it's tested or not.

I don't think the 80s was any worse than any other decade of the 20th century, so I'll stick with the one I grew up in.
