Angry. Stupid. Irrational. Emotionally flawed. I am all of these things for not following you sooner, Chris... Loved the passionate post.

in More Advice for the Shy on Chris Brogan
Great advice, Susan. I've been an extrovert for much of my life (but, ironically, I find myself still tensing up in some situations). A great way for someone to overcome/manage their shyness is to strike up small-talk with cashiers and similar workers. I usually like to make a comment about how I can tell they're ready to get off work and go home. It usually elicits a smile, and a quick 60 second conversation.
By the time it's over, my groceries are sacked and ready to go. It's a great way to get in the habit of saying hi and starting convo with complete strangers. Plus, people love it because it gives them a break in their, otherwise, monotonous work day.

in Open Letter to Ed Shaz and Ed Dale on Rick Butts Show
Wow, talk about being a big man.
What you did took a lot of courage. Thanks for posting.
And what's funny, is that by confronting your own issues, you - in an interesting way - liberate others by helping them to do the same.
Thanks, Rick.

in The True Test for FriendFeed: Facebook Comments on Social Times
I don't think FriendFeed is over-hyped, or anything similar. I believe it all just boils down to the "culture" of each respective community. FriendFeed seems to promote dialog and conversation. Facebook, on the other hand, is used more so for sharing photos, sending messages, etc. I guess it's unwise to suggest that Facebook users won't take to the new FriendFeed-like aspects -- it just seems like it will take longer for users to adopt it.

Good ish, Gary... Straight and to the point -- nothing like your other videos ;-) I'll be spreading the word, boss. You work on closing those 300+ IM windows (haha!).

While relying solely on Facebook for their Web 2.0 purposes is highly lazy, it does signal a long overdue departure from their previous methods and strategies.
Verizon just doesn't have the brand appeal that would engage AND convince subscribers to add another online social community to his or her already bloated list.
There are very few companies that I can think of, off the top of my head, that command this kind of devotion and attention: Apple is definitely one of them.
That said, Verizon can take this as a prime opportunity to begin re-crafting their brand to appeal to a more younger, yet highly sociable and influential market segment.
This move to Facebook Pages should mark the beginning of their strategy -- not the end of it. A previous commenter also stated that social networks are fads that are destined to fade into the digital dust as time goes on.
Well, even if that was true, it still makes sense to leverage that "fad" and take advantage of it while it still commands attention and attracts potential customers.
Myspace and Facebook's being around 5, 10, or 20 years from now is as relevant to the discussion as my shoe size is to Oprah Winfrey's sexual prowess.
