Mery:

Apenas voy descubriendo este post tuyo y no sabes cómo te agradezco el que me hayas incluido en esta augusta lista. Es un gran honor estar en compañía de tanta gente a la que conozco y respeto, y por si fuera poco, me has dado la oportunidad de conocer a mucha más que vale la pena leer frecuentemente.

Confieso, sin embargo, que lo que más me llamó la atención es que hayas mencionado el podcast. Si el hallarme aqui fue una sorpresa mayúscula, el hallar una escucha entusiasta la hizo lo mejor de este mes :D

Confía en que haga una mención de este post y de tu blog en el siguiente podcast. De nuevo gracias y espero que podamos coincidir en algún momento y conocernos en persona.

¡Un abrazo y lo mejor para ti y tu blog!

Jason: Thanks for the reply. However, my question went in another direction. Sorry about not being clear enough.

The reason for the 1% rule is pretty clear. My question really is: How do you know which pages fulfill the 1% rule and which don't. I haven't seen a number that says that. Do you estimate it, calculate it or just look somewhere for that information?

Regards from Mexico City.

Jason: Excellent post. Not many people blog about this topics, which I also deal with frequently. One question though:

You mention the need to filter by the 1% of your fans, but I haven't seen anything that tells you what number of your fans like a given page. Am I missing something? Do you guesstimate ;) that number or how are you determining it?

Other than that, everything is crystal clear. I will start sharing your posts with my social media marketing group here in Mexico City. They will find them very valuable also ;)

Re: Indian Housewives and Their Maids

Oh, I keep forgetting the influence of Mexico's greatest contribution to world culture: Telenovelas (soap operas) :D Indeed, old, wise maids are a staple there.

Outside urban areas, particularly in center and southern Mexico, there are large numbers of people that speak prehispanic languages such as Otomi, Nahuatl and Mazahua as their first language. Some of them do not speak spanish, even. But check this out: There is a Linux version in nahuatl: OmeteOS GNU/Linux and Firefox has been translated in 24 dialects and variants http://www.mozilla-mexico.o...

And the Mozilla Mexico logo absolutely rocks :)

¡Saludos to the other side of the world!

Re: Indian Housewives and Their Maids

Actually it DOES bear a strong resemblance to the housewife/maids dynamics here in Mexico. Setting aside the fact that arranged marriages are not that common here, what you describe is pretty close to what I've seen in 40+ years here. It is a common joke that the most important member of many mexican households is the maid. Personally I call them the "Queens of Home" :)

But what you describe is also very common here: girls that find an employer when young, and if they're lucky, they will remain there for years, even decades and become as another member of the family. The old, wise maid who has been with the family for years and has seen the children grow is a cliche in mexican movies and soap operas, but it is (or was) also a common fixture in many households.

I have a beautiful anecdote that my mother shared with us about a young maid of indian descent that we had when my sister and I were very little. One day she found her softly singing a lullaby while we were sleeping in our beds. She was singing in otomi, a dialect spoken by many indians in central Mexico. She says it was one of the most beautiful images she has ever seen.

Great post, amigo ;)

Regards from Mexico City.

Re: La verdadera razón del cierre de Google Reader

Al final resulta que Facebook resultó ser el verdadero asesino de los RSS, y extrañamente no de forma directa, sino por la presión que puso en Google para abandonar su postura de apertura y seguimiento de estándares.

Por si me hicieran falta razones para detestar Facebook :)

Strange that you didn't include Hive Reader http://hivereader.com It's still on beta but it shows a lot of promise particularly where sharing and commenting is concerned. It would be a worthy addition to this list.

Marshall: I tried Little Bird when it opened in beta and it was quite good, but I have one serious issue: When dealing with non-english sources (spanish in this case) the quality of the results degraded substantially and couldn't really get as much value from it. ¿Is there any chance this will improve in the future? ¿Was it something that was fixed later and I just didn't happen to see it? ¿Is it a feature, not a bug? ;)

I'd love to show this to PR and advertising agencies here as they would find it an invaluable tool. But although the concept is bulletproof in operation under real-world conditions it is not as good a solution for us in a non-english environment.

¿Significa esto que ya nos vamos a reunir aqui todas las semanas a platicar del capítulo en turno? Conste, porque es una responsabilidad :)

Concuerdo en que esta serie pinta para ser la mas oscura hasta el momento, y no es para menos. Estamos en plena tormenta de los 60's. Ya en capítulos previos se veían los primeros relámpagos, pero ahora la ruptura es completa. Incluso a nivel familiar y profesional las grietas del viejo orden ya se notan. Mas que una paz tensa, lo que tenemos es una guerra tranquila, hecha de escaramuzas, emboscadas y choques repentinos y breves, tal como el Vietnam que cada vez cobra mas víctimas en el campo y en el frente doméstico. No hace falta mas que ver a Sally Draper y a Pete Campbell que están rápidamente perdiendo el poco respeto que les quedaba por sus mayores y no se ven preocupados por la idea de dejarlos atrás. La secuencia de Betty en el edificio en NY es genial por eso. Creo que es un tema que ahora si va ocupar mucho de la serie: El conflicto entre el establishment y la contracultura. Ya se vieron cara a cara y a ninguno le gustó lo que vió del otro lado.

Vaya que esto se va a poner bueno.

Re: Social Media Got Boring

Angel B — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 10:23:23 -0000

The most interesting part of your post is the timeline. I've always said Social Media in Latin America, Mexico specifically, were about 2 years behind. And from what you say, it seems we are painfully still in 2009 moving into 2010. There is still so much to do here the element of excitement remains although it is contrasted by a LOT of frustration about missed oportunities.

On the other hand, your great posts will be sorely missed, They are one of my best sources of inspiration and thought.

I'll keep in touch, however.

¡Suerte!

A glaring omission would also be http://getprismatic.com It is quickly becoming one of the best sources of news and content available. So far the only major drawback it has is a lack of a mobile app. Other than that, its performance is remarkable. Highly recommended

Llamarle MUY inconsistente al guión es verse amable. De hecho David Lindelof (uno de los creadores de LOST) es uno de los argumentistas, lo cual tristemente parecería explicar algunas cosas sobre todo en cuanto a la incoherencia que plaga a los personajes y la trama.

En efecto la parte, que mejor funciona es la del descubrimiento de la construcción/nave de los Ingenieros. La película en ese momento podría definirse como "Raiders of the Lost Ark meets Alien" con lo mejor de ambos. La escena del cuarto de navegación es la cosa mas espectacular y hermosa en mucho rato. Pero tan pronto los personajes dejan de descubrir cosas y empiezan a querer explicarlas o reaccionar a ellas es donde la cosa se va al caño rápido.

En Reddit se hicieron algunos comentarios interesantes acerca de esos puntos medio oscuros y esotéricos de la cinta y algunos de ellos no están nada mal. Ahi lo dejo: http://mashable.com/2012/06...

iGoogle was my daily start page for a long while and I loved it, but somehow it was displaced and the benefits of having all important stuff in a single place diminished. Currently I start with 2 tabs: Twitter in Seesmic and Google Reader, so I guess my habits changed and iGoogle lost importance. I seem to remember it had some technical problems, somehow (too slow, crashed) in early Chrome.

Re: Posterous: You Coulda Been a Contender. Instead of a Bum.

Angel B — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:35:04 -0000

I am also a great Posterous fan. If it goes under, it will be a terrible blow. Even my mom has a Posterous blog and she loves it, so does my wife. I cannot think of an easier blog platform for non-techies.

Hoping against hope that Posterous will somehow survive even in a zombified state (ala Friendfeed) but these talent acquisitions usually spell death for the bought platform/application. Only Google does a worse job than Twitter in handling bought properties, I think.

I wish I could be more glad for the Posterous team, but as a user I cannot. Hope this at least makes Twitter better somehow, but even if it does we will have paid a terrible price.

I need a drink :(

Congratulations! I don't remember exactly how I found your blog (most likely a shared item from Mahendra Palsule) but it quickly secured a place in my "Must Read" folders. Keep it up Tac!

Curiously enough, my own bloggiversary is this thursday. It's 4 years for me, but it also has brought enormous changes in my life.

I am very surprised to find newsites mentioning the Döring Law outside Mexico. I'm glad you are bringing attention to this issue. Quite a few bloggers, lawyers and organizations here are putting a lot of attention to this, just as it was done for the ACTA Senate hearings last year. Although it is only an initiative it has drawn a very heated response from a lot of people. It may never get past the initative stage, but we are certainly preparing for a intense debate to shoot this law down.

Wish us luck.
