This is a feature my team has been pining for so that we can fully leave google doc drafting behind. Thank you!

Go to Gato Bizco and order my creation, the Bizco Cristo. It's their regular burger improbably served on a french-toastified burger bun. It's a contender.

Also, I need to get my mouth around one of these. Looks amazing.

Re: What Is Your Content Giving?

Dave Coustan — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:33:25 -0000

That's where I respectfully disagree, though. Of course business goals should be in the equation - from day one. If you're setting up the channel strategy properly you're aiming for that intersection between what your users are trying to do (in life, not just the channel) and a rational,smart, aligned area for the brand to participate, not just adding in free gifts and unicorns as the honey used to catch flies. If you don't, the fine line you are walking is between gifts and bribery/false "surprise and delight". Not to get endlessly regressive here, but that's fulfilling a business goal too in point of fact - you're writing about it as marketing strategy, aren't you? End/means?

I think I agree if framed up a bit differently - when I think about content strategy for a brand channel, I help them find the overlap between the business goals and the audience's wants and needs. For me it's not a question of "giving" so much as providing utility for what that audience is trying to accomplish, and in a way that makes sense for the brand's objectives and point of view.

The way I read the description, it seems like they're for making you more aware of form, rather than forcing your foot into a particular position. But it's really hard to tell without measurements and/or more photography.

In tumblr, you can enable it in your preferences, and then direct people to yoururl.com/ask. Or you can use third-party formspring.me to set yourself up with an external one.

Re: Ubergizmo Giveaway: Fellowes Microshred Series Shredders

I'm tough on shredders, or they fail me too soon. Curious to see if it really is 100% jam proof for regular, standard use.

Conicidence that you noticed this on the day 4Chan was planning to upload tons of cut-in porn to YouTube?

Generational fail. After reading this I'm seriously reconsidering whether or not I can consider you my pat'na'em.

Star Wars Uncut is another fun example of this taking place in culture. The curators of the project have set up a simple system where participants can "claim" a 15 second clip and then film it and upload it. That both makes it more likely that the outcomes will work well together, and makes it (hopefully) easy to get lots of participants with varying degrees of technical sophistication.

It's odd that Wordtracker.com isn't included in this list. I also recently discovered another one that looks very promising - http://authoritylabs.com/.

Great to run in to you at the badge pickup line last year. I don't think I'm going to make it either this year -- just too much going on.

Re: The "Twitter Dilemma": How Many People Can You Follow?

Dave Coustan — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 12:23:08 -0000

I like keeping my account protected for that very reason. I've been able to curate a list of people who use twitter in ways compatible to mine, and who I like to keep up with, and that list has hovered between 200-300 people. For me personally, I don't see value in a massive jumble of people/free-for-all. And in general, if a new person requests to follow me, if their ratio of follower-to-followed isn't skewed heavily one way or the other, I accept their request and give them a try. I think the scobleizer/brogan approach is more of a brute force marketing strategy than a human communication channel.
