Re: What Everyone Misses About Twitter…

Chris, there is only one definition of spam -- unsolicited email. You agreed to receive email from Ed, so there is no possible way that can be called spam. What Ed is objecting to is people reporting emails that they have opted-in to receive as spam. The solution to your problem is simple. Ignore or delete what you don't want and read the stuff you want. Calling it spam is, in my opinion, low and unethical.

Well, since sending *true* spam is illegal in the US, I think it is important to get the semantics right. I don't disagree that tons of unwanted email is bad, noisy, junky, etc. I do object to the "define spam however you want" issue because in my world, calling someone a spammer is equal to calling them a criminal.

Plus, one of Ed's main points was outrage against people who freely opt-in, but then use the 'this is spam' button to voice thier objection to the content being presented. Marking someone as a spammer when you have freely opted-in to their list is unethical and just plain mean.

Rick, while I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment, and totally agree with Ryan, I find myself wondering why you chose to specifically name Lynn Terry.

I've followed Lynn for quite some time and consider her to be quite the opposite of a 'guru' wannabe. She has never appeared to want to be anything but Lynn Terry, who, by the way, was one of the people who took the StomperNet people to task for their failure to resolve the problems they had with their newsletter launch.

Thanks Ryan. Ed Dale calls her "The Ralph Nader" of Internet marketing, which I think is a fair description.

Hmmm. That could explain a thing or two.

I agree Ryan. Many tactics and strategies can be super powerful if one takes the time to do the right things, has a good business foundation, leverages his or her experience, and applies them at the right time. Most people won't, or can't do all of those things, so a super frank super cautious disclaimer is just smart. There is a *context* for everything and it always affects the outcome, I find it very interesting, from a copywriting standpoint, how Glenn crafts his disclaimer message.

I don't know Glenn or his products, but it is entirely possible that he gets *better* long term results by filtering out certain people who are pre-disposed to expect overnight results without work and building a very strong context.

If, for instance, Lance Armstrong sold you a peak performance cycling course on DVD and used the full emotion and passion he has for his techniques and the results they have brought him, would you really expect to get exactly the same results?

Would you fault him then, for stating in the fine print that he is very likely different than you and, very likely, would get much different results?

Great rule of thumb! I'm pretty sure I regularly violate all three elements, but I'm working on it. Like Mark Twain said, "If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."

Sorry to hear this Ken. Great job for making it public. I have this little voice inside my head that makes me think I know who this person is. It sounds similar to a crazy run-in I had with someone we both know.

Re: The Secret to Online Business Success Is… Being Single?

Amen Ryan. I've noticed the same thing with people I actually know as well as those I observe. There is, of course, the time factor which is huge, but I think there is something else -- the initial income goal.

Single folks can do what is the BEST way to build an online business. They can start with a very small monthly revenue (say $100/month) and build from there. Of course, married-with-kids folks can do the same thing, but their mindset tends to be different. They are more likely to 'swing for the fence' and look for bigger wins up front. The effect is they do more work and see less results at first, but their wins can also be better. Making the transition to full-time is also much, much more risky for married-with-kids folks.

The only answer here it to keep the test running. You picked a winner too soon and the variance is very low. I'd let it run longer and then create a new test.

Come on Alison and Chris! "Going down the Rabbit Hole" is a reference to Alice in Wonderland... you get lost in another world when you go down a rabbit hole, just like Alice.

Great information about TFCC wrist braces and injuries. Have you ever checked out Bullseye Wrist Band? It is a newer brace for the same issue https://bullseyebrace.com

I am so thankful for this site. I have been coming here frequently to get news on new software, the video driver/software issue, the WinMo6.1 upgrade, etc. This was also the place where I learned about putting the Google search on my main screen and I already don't know how I lived without it.

Please know your work is appreciated and used out here. Thanks!

No "official" Tilt ROM. Vacuums.

I wish they would do the drivers and the WM6.1 upgrade would be released to us at the same time...ya know...like now!

It seems Google has something against WinMobile. The fancy GMail exclusive to iPhone keeps getting tweaked and the rest of us have a stagnant version. Now this Blackberry only app and you see which major mobile OS is being left out??

Re: Push Mail on your Tilt

Is there a push program that supports IMAP? I have become accustomed to not having to manage my email multiple times.

Re: TiltSite Comment Of The Week

Jeff Daly — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:20:10 -0000

Awesome rant! I don't push my Tilt to limit as much as you do, but I do a lot. I have Word documents that I refer to and one spreadsheet.

My tilt has become the origin of probably 30-40% of my emails. I don't use "push", but use IMAP with my webhost and that works for me. I just do Send/Receive when I want to check it.

I also keep track of my personal AND professional life in Calendar. In fact, the Calendar is where I keep track of my billing hours for my clients. My friends also know that if you don't see me put it in my Tilt, it's probably less than 50/50 that I'll show up.

Yup...my Tilt is more than a business tool, it is my assistant!
