I've heard some good things about the new Firefox too. I think it's supposed to be released this week.

The Fast and Furious trailer looks like the movie has potential. But, Star Trek? I'm predicting it to be a box office bomb. It's a remake of a cult classic, and J.J. Abrams, the director, has publicly said he didn't really like the Star Trek series and he's going to give this a Star Wars feel. I have a feeling the Star Trek fans will not be pleased.

Glad you liked Bond. We kind of liked it. ;-)

Hey Pauley!

I'm not a real big game type player. But, when we have family visiting from Canada there are a few games we do play. SKIP-BO is one of those games! I like it because you can play the game, and still visit.

Hey Pauley;

Fun, fun, fun! We originally came to the Rochester area on a Religion Visa, then applied for Green Card status. Are you working with a lawyer? It's a whole lot easier to do that. While they say you can apply for Green Card by yourself, it's really hard.

This is simply a great shot! It's one of those rare pictures that I could look quietly into for a long time and meditate on things.

Okay. I'm in. Looking forward to reading your book.

It's at #10 on Amazon at the moment, BTW.

Congrats on this synergistic acquisition!

I registered at the site when you first mentioned it on TechCrunch. It's a smart offering.

Hi there...

Do you think you could make this update available in a format that us Mac folks can retrieve?

Thanks!

Sandy's book sounds like a great resource. She's certainly garnered the accolades. Would love to add it to my digital marketing ammo collection.

If you use an automated system to say "thank you," then are you really saying "thank you"?

Interesting points, David. Your health care example is a classic illustration of closing what some are calling an abundance gap. I might add that, while Humana's motivation comes from within, it is certainly customer centric. I don't think one necessarily precludes the other.

The strongest brands come, and have always come, from within. Paul is spot on in his observation that it's easy for a brand to drift from its core essence in the face of an onslaught of external inputs. It's critical to maintain a strong sense of brand focus, of brand self. The ease with which customers can insert themselves into the equation does lead to the need for a somewhat collaborative approach. It can be a delicate dance.

Thanks for reminding me about Idek.net, Eric. You mentioned it a while ago and now I'm reminded to check them out.

I've been test driving HootSuite for a few days. Pretty cool feature set.

Sounds like an interesting play. Simple is good. Not sure about the name. At all.

And yes they need to integrate with Twitter.

Another tip: Select "Narrow Columns" in General Settings to fit more columns within the width of your screen.

Hi Jesse...

I have fewer than 2000 followers (just over 900 at the moment), but I'm experiencing issues.

I've received only four daily updates in the last eight days. The first two updates listed a total of 32 new followers, 7 unfollowers. The latter two updates listed 0 new followers, 0 unfollowers.

Yet in this period I've gained over 70 new followers. Not sure about total unfollowers, but it's more than 7 for sure.

Hope these details help you as you work to iron out kinks in the system.

Thanks.

Good points, Eric. You should re-tweet this link the next few Friday mornings.

Thanking via DM is right on. Doing so publicly is heading in the direction of your bullet #2: re-tweeting someone else's #FF recommendation of you.

Re: Why Passive-Aggressive Twitter Following Is Spam

Mark Frisk — Wed, 20 May 2009 10:46:51 -0000

I can't believe anyone would defend this kind of behavior. I'm not sure if it's capable of compromising Twitter's infrastructure, but it's bait and switch, pure and simple, and an abuse of people's natural inclination to be courteous in returning follows.

I use Twitter Karma once a week or so to weed out and block people who do this. They are nothing more than time-wasters and dead weight for a community. Any claim to legitimacy they make is laughable.

Re: Social Media Explorer: Jason Falls Interview

Mark Frisk — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:19:32 -0000

I missed the news that Jason was venturing out on his own (so much to keep up with, so little time!), so thanks for bringing this significant news to my attention.

Jason: Best of luck to you! I wish you all the success you deserve. Speaking as one who has left agency life for a self-directed path, I can tell you that it's exhilarating. Scary at times, but exhilarating and 100% worthwhile.

Eric: Thanks for this interview. Well done!

Thanks for drawing my attention to the WSJ piece and Chabot's blog post. Interesting info that comes at a particularly apropo moment.

BTW, I don't think I've ever slipped into red pencil mode w/ a blog post, but since an earlier commenter started...

It's deep-seated, not deep-seeded. A bit counter-intuitive, but true. ;-)

Thanks again!

Isn't Qwitter broken? I haven't gotten a notification in many, many months. Maybe all year; I haven't been paying close attention.

Re: HootSuite Update: Tweet and Track Photos and Files

Mark Frisk — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:43:31 -0000

HootSuite has a lot to recommend it, and these updates sound cool.

That said, I agree with those who have expressed concerns about the iFramed link destination pages. This pretty much makes using Ow.ly a non-starter for me. I want to send people directly to a destination, not to an iFramed page that they can't bookmark easily, should they want to. Seems very un-webby, to me.

I think HootSuite's link stats presentation is fantastic, much better than bit.ly's. I just can't get past the fact that Ow.ly uses iFrames.

Hey Jason. I like the new name and I'm psyched to give the service a try.

Wanted to point out that the teaser on the home page -- "Includes 20Gb of storage. Only $4.95/month or $29.95/year." -- doesn't jibe with any of the plan options on the register page, neither in annual rate or storage.

Maybe I'm missing something...
