Thanks @Brian Halligan! What's your t-shirt size? I'll bring one to you at INBOUND.

Thank you for catching this. We moved off HubSpot a while ago and must have missed a few links. Everything is linked correctly now, you can still get the download here: http://www.dtelepathy.com/l...

That's my fault, Damon. The duplicate was supposed to be a pull quote style. Appreciate you pointing that out!

That's right, George. The product and/or service team are essential components retention. Tools like NPS can help identify areas of friction post-sale and keep customers around longer.

Oh, that's unfortunate! This article is 3+ years old and the pages we linked to must not exist anymore :(

Hi Jason -

Sorry about that. We changed the host for those pages recently and missed the link you clicked on. Here's the correct link: http://www.dtelepathy.com/l...

Re: Do You Really Need a CMS?

Most CMS Platforms will allow for hybridization. In fact, DT's site is hybrid... our blog runs on WordPress, but the "main" site is static HTML templates.

You're right. There are too many options to list -- and that's exactly why incumbents need to take a hard look at their user experience. UX isn't just about usability. Pricing and feature sets an be huge sources of friction and send potential buyers elsewhere.

Re: SXSW PanelPicker

Had another fun interview with my old pal Paolo Rivera. He's a comic book artist that has done a lot of work with Marvel and just recently starting writing his own graphic novel. You can learn a lot about Paolo's process on his blog - paolorivera.com where he writes at least three times a week about his current work and techniques.

Hardware is just as important to Paolo as software. His sketches begin digitally and his paintings are scanned and post-produced in Adobe Photoshop. Digital seems to have affected old-school storytelling too.

Ha. We'll leave higher education out of this... but ethics, that's certainly a rich topic.

Just had a great discussion with Austin-based blogger Stephen Torrence of BadPhilosophy.com. We talked about his experience with podcasting, that time he went viral on YouTube, and just a little about his current startup venter - http://www.fourstjames.com/

Eduardo and I are excited for the possibilities with this panel. We've got a couple more interviews lined up to ensure we bring a wide sampling of storytelling examples to the ideas.

Thanks for the great comments guys. We're really excited for the possibilities with this topic. We met last week to discuss the panel and further solidify where we want to take it. At this point we're leaning toward touching on the mechanics of the technology, but leaving plenty of time to focus on what to consider when designing experiences that tap into your accelerometer, gps, camera, and other outside data sources. While the smartphone is your active interface, there are plenty of other passive interfaces (Nest, FitBit, etc) that could pass data... and let's not forget about other forms of context like traffic, weather, and police blotters. All of these things coalesce on to create your smarter-than-ever phone.

Another big point of the discussion will be privacy concerns. Ironically, today is the anniversary of SkyNet becoming aware. What was once science fiction is becoming a reality. Who are we giving our data too? Are you reading your terms of service? What about the NSA... do they also have access to see that I'm going 85 on the freeway since my GPS is passing data to the cloud somewhere?

This panel will definitely be juicy. Chuck and Jessica are both brilliant, well-spoken individuals who are passionate about innovation and compelling experiences.

... What about the Snapdragon chip?

Re: Snapdragon S4 Processors Powering the Connected Home

BrentSummers — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 15:27:18 -0000

That video is crazy! Is this powered just by Snapdragon, or other Qualcomm products such as AllJoyn?

My friend has one of these. It sure is sleek, and snappy.

I'm all signed up for the webinar.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S III, Proud Recipient of a Snapdragon S4 Processor

BrentSummers — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:56:20 -0000

This is really interesting. Do previous generations of Snapdragon also support 4G LTE (integrated) or is that a feature exclusive to S4?

Re: How Snapdragon S4 is Powering Windows Phone 8

BrentSummers — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:48:12 -0000

I'm definitely excited to check out a new Windows 8 phone. The past couple models of Nokia Lumia have been running older versions of Snapdragon and they're rocket-fast. Surely S4 takes performance up another notch.

I strongly considered purchasing a Nokia Lumia 900 but ultimately decided to hold out a while longer since MS isn't going to offer backwards support for legacy devices.

Wow that video about the marathon runner was really good. As a marathoner I just assumed that my heart would always be healthy. Guess I need to rethink that.

Will you be announcing the qualifiers?

Re: Executive Wireless Fitness Challenge

I think this is the next evolution for the healthcare industry. People are already using social media /wireless plugins like runkeeper.
