ooh, I wonder if they do that in the terminator future to keep the robots out of the human tunnels. - Don Schuetze

My bet is that if the robots are going door-to-door, they'll defeat that level of CAPTCHA. :^) - Kurt Starnes

Best quote: "The conductorettes’ work The conductorettes did the same work as conductors: taking fares, collecting tickets, calling out stops, and working with the motorman who drove the streetcars. One of the conductorette’s duties was also moving the trolley pole if required, which sometimes involved scrambling up the side of the trolley if something was out of sorts. But as the conductorettes were first issued skirts in their uniforms, climbing the trolley could be a real challenge. Eventually, the conductorettes were issued pants as part of their uniform instead. As conductorette Pearl Wattum explained, “It’s no goddamn place for a woman up the side of a trolley in a skirt.” (Pearl is one of the women can be heard on tape at UBC Special Collections, and was described by another conductorette as having a “rough mouth and a warm heart.”) Conductorettes also generally attended to the passengers, handling any issues that would arise on the streetcar.

Favourite quote: "Great, community members take over the coverage that matters to them, they use all available tools: social network, live blogging, Flip-camera produced videos, to give local stuff the exposure it needs. Another view is this: Doing local journalism is as complicated as any other kind of reporting. Poring over local financial records requires the same amount of time, dedication and expertise as digging into a national political party’s finances. Yes, citizen-like journalists will do fine reporting on “lighter” issues such as the state of schools or of the sewage system. But uncovering and preventing what really matters, such as the misuse of public funding, rigged bidding procedures for large projects and so on is a very different story." - Don Schuetze

"There is a valuable audience for advertisers to focus on who are engaged with brands through social media and search. The study further validates our view that media discovery -- specifically. a brand's owned and earned media -- is as important to success as the paid media we handle every day. Generating upper-funnel awareness and influencing consideration through social media can produce better down-the-funnel performance with paid media, such as paid search." - Valeria Maltoni

favourite quote: "complimentary media - social (the new "earned" media), owned media (a brand's web presence) & paid media will produce a compound effect if they work together." - Don Schuetze

looking into the value of intersections more and more. This research jives with my own thinking around the Web presence of the future and the question of "what do you do with the technology?" - Valeria Maltoni

"Many of my more extroverted friends wouldn’t care if their farmer-friend was hawking shriveled turnips dusted in cow dung. They’re there to have a social experience." - Don Schuetze from Bookmarklet

Killer article Mike. I have personally proposed many of your strategies above to some restaurants/business. I hope many of them wake up and see the value before their competitors do. - Amani

Nice article, Mike. One of the great related examples is @kogiBBQ on Twitter - they make me drool with their pics and hope to try them out when next in LA - they tweet their truck locations - Sally Church

It's the second story I'm interested in: "A Reader Revenue Model That Works Christopher Kimball, Cook's IllustratedAmid the wreckage of the media industry, there is at least one publisher who’s charging readers for content and making a lot of money at it. He’s Christopher Kimball, the intense, non-nonsense publisher of Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines. The flagship Cook’s Illustrated has nearly a million subscribers who pay between $25 and $35 a year for six issues. There’s no advertising. The business is reportedly insanely profitable." - Don Schuetze
