My tip- sign up for every free "loyalty" point system and work the specials. I can't even begin to extol on the beauty of being able to upgrade a hotel room (or get early check-ins) that often require no accumulated points! I love my Starwoods Preferred Guest Card and wouldn't dream of giving it up.

in How to talk about your competitors on Community Guy
I've been thinking about this a lot since we're positioning ourselves against 65+ competitors. Since we are a social media company , my approach to date has been to be open. As our market matures, features and functionality will be a tough selling point since anything can be built in or added via APIs. That leaves services and perceived leadership as the two areas for differentiation. Taking a page from Obama's campaign, I think it will be hard for vendors who trash their competitors to be seen as leaders since they can hardly be considered honest brokers in the space. Vendors who focus on laying out their vision for adoption and the future will ultimately become trusted voices and, hopefully, immune to the oneupmanship that drag down companies.

in Lessons for grassroots campaigns on Community Guy
I thought you might find this article in the WashingtonPost interesting:

Just another sign that people who ignore the power of social media do so at their own expense.

Interesting- I had the opposite experience at the rally in Austin. I was asked about volunteering about 3 times on the way in and was emailed some very enticing and easy ways to get involved the very next day. Additionally, I received a "find your polling place" email yesterday that helped me avoid going to the wrong place this morning.

in New term: Love Leech on Community Guy
I see it from both sides...as a blogger I hate the cheapy comments that are almost more about getting another link to their site than it is to plug a product. Now that I work for a vendor in the space I feel almost... well... scared to comment lest I get regarded in the same vein. From the industry side, transparency and sincerity should be the "golden" rules to follow.
Of course, I'm sweating a bit before I click the submit button for this comment. :)
