How Chipotle, Pinkberry,and others win by doing just a few things well. http://37signals.com/svn... (In-n-Out should also be on this list!)

I love the ill-informed comments about Chipotle being owned by McDonald's. McDonald's sold their minority stake in Chipotle about 3 years ago, IIRC.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
I had no idea that Mcdonald's sold their stake. Good info to know.

OMG, Higlet, who WOULDN'T love a man who could dress up as Lumberjack Fairy and allow photos to be taken! That is so cool! He must really be okay. :-D
- Ladybug Heather
Of course there should be a lumberjack fairy - put a small chip of the tree you have cut under your pillow and he'll leave a gift and a blessing
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I think he was secretly pleased that the new wings he bought for her fitted him without pinching too much - reason enough to dress up! And yes, he's pretty cool - he's been entertaining the kids while I write *and* helping me edit, so the least I could do was tell you all how great he is :)
- WorldofHiglet
UHM, no those are butterfly wings.. NOT fairy wings. KAY THANKS:) So that makes you a "Lumberjack Butterfly"... NOT a "Lumberjack Fairy!" Common, get your wings straight.

- WorldofHiglet
Yeaa? Well Worldo, you're clearly not dressed like a "fairy" you are dressed like a "Lumberjack" so I think you really need to make up your mind.. 5 year olds are gonna say whatever, that doesn't mean anything. I would win the debate.. Idc. And my 4 kid thinks you look like a "DOUCHE-pedo." Words straight from her mouth :) BUT thanks Glen :)

"The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (...) or precomposed triple-dot glyph (…). Forms encountered less often are: three asterisks (***), one em dash (—), and multiple en dashes (––)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Luca Sofri
Luca that is what I learned in English class, and I'm pretty sure style guides will support me on that.

Three dots=less than a full sentence has been left out. Four dots=a full sentence or more has been left out. So say me and the Chicago Manual of Style, though other style guides differ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

"Three dots are ellipses, meaning that something is left out. If you combine ellipses with a period, then that would leave four dots... meaning that something is left out, and then it ends. " http://wiki.answers.com/Q...
- Luca Sofri
Ok, maybe you mean that sometimes it happens to have a period after the three dots, and that adds to four dots. It is ugly and I would never do it, but it makes sense. But it doesn't exists something like "four dots" as a rule.

- Dennis Jernberg

- Rick Cogley
I don't see the point of giving a hint on wether a partial or a full sentence has been left out. It has been left out for a reason, so who cares about it? It's not a guessing game. Besides I'm with Rick and Sasaki: it's a single glyph, and it's made of three dots. The fourth dot (the period) could be technically correct but it's so ugly that no one will miss it, I think.
- Andrea Tassi
Three is the number of the dots, and the number of the dots shall be three. Four shalt thou not dot, nor either dot thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third dot be reached, then thou shalt lobbest thy article towards thine web, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

LE: None. That's been fixed. :) Probably not thinking too much about it.
- Louis Gray
Logical: Twitter is the new website.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, now I know you're joking!
- LogEx
Logical: actually I was joking about the Google Profile thing, not kidding about the Twitter thing.
- Robert Scoble
Robert... after all you've said about Twitter and the fragility of SNS relative to your own brand?
- LogEx
Yeah, but where's your email address? LOL
- David Libby
Didn't you hear....E-Mail is Dead!
- Owen Greaves
I wish gMail supported HTML signatures. Been wanting to do something like this for years.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
you can do html in gmail, with a firefox plugin Blank Canvas http://blankcanvasweb.com/pages...
- Robert Higgins
Yes, e-mail is dead. It is also required in order to create an account on how many Web sites!?! I think I was required to link my OpenID account to an e-mail address. So much for Identitiy 2.0....

Louis - I like the links on the home page, but EVERY employee gets that? I can tell you that lots of storage people are going to be scared by all of the "interwebs" stuff. I <3 the Emulex guys and know they're trying to update their image, but I'd think that most of them have bigger issues that learning to explain what FriendFeed and SlideShare are when people look at them funny.
- Stuart Miniman
Stu, I think I should use the word "optional". It's optional to everyone and every e-mail. And it's fine if some conservative industries aren't ready yet. It's time to shake it up.
- Louis Gray
Is it using Wisestamp? Very nice. FYI - Wisestamp is free, works w/ Gmail, Posterous, even the links.
- Liza
Is this seriously your sig for emails? Bit busy don't you think? Wouldn't a push to their website that has the actual list be a better use of that space? Also with email clients that don't do HTML its going to be lost.
- Uncle CW™
It's a bit much
- Rodfather
The nice thing about Wisestamp is you can delete the icons in gmail, if it is going to someone who you think has no idea what Slideshare is. Otherwise, wd be a pain.

In my training of employees on how to do a Email Signature, (where the corp hasn't stated a standard) is to plan for plain text clients. Have your information there. Do one font only and stick to that. Nothing fancy in the font either. Get the information there so that the recipients can contact you or get more information about you. Company Logo's are only if you really need them. Key thing is to provide a sort of Business Card (information how to get a hold of you) at the bottom of emails.
- Uncle CW™
I tend to fall into the plain text camp. my signature is as follows: " -- 505.652.2878 http://sarahvela.net @orchid8 everywhere"
- Call me Bronco
Yeah, I like simple signatures.
- Andrew C
All the hyperlinks scream I'm spam & it will likely be treated as such by many mail programs.
- Rick Frank
Rick, very good feedback. It will be considered.
- Louis Gray
Too much. Too busy. I'd get rid of the office line, the link to lousgray.com, and definitely the emulex logo. Anyway that's just my opinion :)
- Eric Florenzano
They get it better than I do. I have to admit, I do not recognize all of those icons as they do!
- Randy Rambo
check out http://www.socialmediav.com they have a killer signature widget, both for personal and corporate brands! :)

Office and mobile phone? You need Google voice. I was able to get a cool number, (areacode) 4 Julio F

Just a simple link to a homepage should be enough, small description about what you do, and phone numbers if you're into that kind of thing.
- Peter Stuifzand
Too many links in an email signature can cause the email to be flagged as spam. you need to test it out before using it. never can be 100% certain...
- Mike Nencetti
Are those custom icons, or something pulled from the web?
- Spencer
How does that degrade? Are there alt tags? Does the text/alternative or text/plain part properly remove the HTML and still preserve the pertinent information? Accessibility is just as if not more important than having something flashy IMHO. (Disclaimer: I use a text MUA and you'll get me to accept HTML mail sometime shortly after the sun suffers hydrogen exhaustion...)
- matthew john ernisse
yes but what's it mean? More is not bettter.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Personally, it seems way too cluttered to me. I would rather just have a link to a page on the company's website that lists all of their various connections. I'm almost as jaded to those icons as I am to banner ads. If I want to know about the company I will be looking at their website first, then their blog, then whatever other services interest me, but I'll always go to their website first. If that's not impressive then it doesn't really matter what they're doing in other spaces.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
they get it, but is it necessary? agree with others here that it's cluttered and sorta cliche already.
- Bill Kinney
Looks good to me. Simple. IMO, I would (1) bump name size +2 pts (2) maybe italicize title or choose different font, so it will jump out at you, but not as much as name (3) remove "www." from website. (4) I haven't seen this in real-life to look at overall point sizes. Often people's business cards need ALL pts sizes +2 to +4. As my 72-yr old Dad always reminds me, older people can't...

@louis - how'd you create a company google profile?
- andy brudtkuhl
Andy, A Google profile is just assigned to a GMail account. So if you create a centralized GMail account, you can make a company profile. This one, for example, is emulexinc@gmail.com. More on the strategy here: http://www.louisgray.com/live...
- Louis Gray
I think if they are all business related and it is for marketing- why not. There is another app nomee.com that does a card also. It is flash based so won't work on the iphone
