in SocialSpark.com Preview – PayPerPost Goes Googley? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Hey Andy!
This post of yours has me very excited about future possibilities. Innovative and well thought - both your post and the mission behind SocialSpark.com.
What do we need to do to twist Ted's arm so you can do more testing and reporting? I always appreciate your 'take' and 'review' on services - as I'm sure many others do as well.
Cheers! Laura

in [series] How to Increase Your Sharing Influence in Half the Time on Free Traffic Tips
Shh! Tinu! What are you doing sharing all your effective marketing secrets?
:)
Just joking with you, of course. I love the way you write and the way you share concepts - especially in this post. I think you'll talk right over the heads of those who use social marketing for 'evil' - and engage your 'thinking readership' well enough to take a breath, conceptualize, and increase their online success.
Bravo!

in Destroy Your Blog Rankings Linking To Digg or Technorati? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Andy, I'm citing you on this post, from within a pdf (the new Stampede Secret to be precise) as this discussion is rich.
I'm publishing in two days - I know it's short notice - but if you don't want me to link to it for any reason, drop me a note and I'll remove the reference.
Cheers, Laura

in Wordpress Trademark Scammers? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Years before I switched to working from home, I worked in the software training industry. We created training manuals, flyers and brochures for our classes - complete with product names and logos.
We were never approached as infringing upon or degrading the brand - nor were we publicly defamed the way Sherman and Brandon have been.
On the contrary! Microsoft and Corel would often send us corporate-wear as 'thanks' for supporting their brand.
In past years I have thought of Matt as a class act - for the power he's given me through his donation-ware WordPress, but also for the personal thank you emails he sends whenever I've PayPal'd a few dollars. Yet THIS situation just smacks of low-class and low-blows.
If anyone at Automattic dared to take the time and watch Sherman Hu's videos they would eat their words. Those videos have helped more hard-working people fast-track the learning curve of WordPress than anything I've seen after hours of trolling the geeky, sometimes very rude, WordPress support forum.
If anyone is damaging WP's reputation it's Automattic first - not just by their attacks on enterprising entrepreneurs who are merely filling a need, but by their lousy support system. (Don't believe me? Just head over to www.wordpress.org/support and read some of the very rude responses from moderators, to some honest questions in some of those posts. I'd personally like to take every one of those frustrated users by the hand and say "You want answers? Watch Sherman's videos.")
After 2 years of working with WordPress I hold the program in the highest regard, but the support of the blogging community and tutorials such as Brandon's and Sherman's were as essential to my success as the software itself.
I think this mess is quite unfortunate for all involved. It definitely could have been handled with a lot more grace and style on Automattic's part.
