So Randy, you're saying that even though the "-" character is effective it's not officially supported? A bit unclear here.

Re: How to Become a World Class Sourcer or Recruiter

I've discovered that I have many of the traits that you have described here and they're all rooted in sheer determination and a willingness to leave no stone unturned. Competitive? Check.

One area where I could use some insight and have yet to find a good resource for is when I'm looking for alternate titles. What insight do you (and the readers) have to improve in this area? I've found a few lists generated by the BLS and such, but nothing really significant. I feel like this is an area of focus that is incredibly undervalued in search.

Ever heard of spinach? It's pound-for-pound the best veggie out there. No question.

I'm curious about how the upcoming Wired iPad app is going to change the traffic and overall brand engagement.

Luxury brands must understand at some point these people want to and will need to interact online as well. I can't remember the last time I hit a brick and mortar.

Re: Day jobs

Nice post. The economic landscape has taught many a good lesson in the same vein of the day job mentality. Necessity is the mother of invention and now more than ever the laptop crowd are now able to create and foster significance into their lives. Daniel Pink's new book 'Drive' covers some of this territory in more depth.

Cheers,
Tim

Great post Josh. List are still very underrated as a whole. There are a ton of great marketing ideas that can come from organizing and filtering your information using lists.

Re: Can E-readers and Tablets Save the News?

timandren — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:29:37 -0000

A good question to ask is: "Is pay-for-publishing for digital content a valid, sustainable business model?' My guess leans more toward 'yes' than 'no'.

Books will work in a controlled, DRM world a la iTunes, but will see some piracy and/or cracked devices - this cannot be avoided.

Magazines will be multimedia app-based offerings similar to what Sports Illustrated has proposed and Wired magazine has recently developed.

News only? I doubt it. Big media companies better be quick to the 'value add' portion of their offering or they will die a quick death.

In conclusion, the news information share will be (and should be) free, while the creation of new material in itself will fall into a paid, semi-controlled category.

Re: So, When Do You Plan To Use the iPad?

timandren — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:54:48 -0000

Here's a thought...I'll use the apps I already own for my iPhone, plus many more that are soon to be developed for the iPad. The screen real estate is a welcome change compared to the size of the phone display.

I'm a bit surprised Mr. Jobs didn't focus a bit more on the 'everythingness' of possibility that the apps allow for in his presentation. This is where the potential is for this device. Currently, we've just seen the framework of what it can do.

Re: Why Social Media Purists Won’t Last

timandren — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:02:22 -0000

Great post Jason! Don't get it twisted folks...the black-and-white approach is appropriate to argue a position.

The reality is social media must be social to work with the human touchy-feely side of communication...otherwise it's back to a 'banner advertising' type of approach and we all know how that's gone.

It's possible to find a happy medium that allows for both relevant and valuable contributions mixed in with an agreement that 'we are gonna try to sell you too.' I accept that type of relationship because it's no different than going to lunch or drinks with a salesperson.

timandren — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:58:44 -0000

I get the point @garyvee, but you can't remove emotion from business. As humans, we can only do our best to be aware of the role emotion plays in business, buying decisions, etc. and limit how it controls our behavior. Just like Dan Patrick says: "You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him."

Try as we might to think that we're being rational and looking at all the logical angles, business (and life overall) is more emotionally driven than most realize. Ask Bernie Madoff's ex-clients, some of whom were very 'rational'.

Don't worry Chris. Pareto's Law says that only a small percentage of people will do the actual work Gary recommends to all who listen.

I haven't read the book. Knowing Gary though, the very thing he continues to emphasize yet so few people pick up is that it's not necessarily about the hottest trend or technology, but about rolling up the sleeves and getting dirty. Working so hard (and intelligently) it hurts so good, because you have ABSOLUTE passion for your company.

Absolute is no small word. It means 'everything'. Heart and soul. Once you have that then you plug it into the right platforms and you've got something special.

Many will read the book, but who will apply themselves and do the real work after they've learned? Not many.

timandren — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 19:20:51 -0000

Branding acts like emotional keywords. This is the information our mind processes when it associates a product or service with a feeling or expectation.

The essence is lost as Gary explains "you're supposed to be cool and hip" and that obviously wasn't coming through with their experience.

I've had some great memories at The Mondrian, so maybe management has changed. This can be devastating to a company if the people behind it have lost the essence of what it means to it's customers. They will leave and they will talk. Snapple went through that same experience.
