I think that's more than just marketing. A lot of times, there's a lot to be learned by stepping out and getting an &amp;quot;outsider's&amp;quot; perspective.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 07:49:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Friday Flip-through: Cult of the Amateur | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/friday_flip_through_cult_of_the_amateur_sui_generis/#comment-1822931</link><description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry for taking so long before moderating the comment. Didn't realize I had a comment to moderate (I set it up to allow all comments, so I'm not sure why yours didn't get through).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, I'm looking forward to continuing conversations with you as well. Will be following your blog. =).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:45:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Share Your Story - and Win a copy of Meatball Sundae | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/share_your_story_and_win_a_copy_of_meatball_sundae_sui_generis/#comment-1822941</link><description>Hi Joana.

Might not always be easy to see the people on the parallel paths.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the encouragement and advice, though. =).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Derrick</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 16 Feb 2008 23:13:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Free Will? | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/free_will_sui_generis/#comment-1822962</link><description>Hm.

Agreed, especially in Singapore, there seems to be so much focus on being &amp;quot;practical&amp;quot;, that it annoys me sometimes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah, I do believe it's worth it, but it's hard sometimes, I guess.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And no need to be honored about me visiting your blog.

Yeah, I guess.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess I'm thinking more along the lines of...how free &amp;quot;free will&amp;quot; actually is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example, if you program a robot with an AI. A path finding program (to find the shortest path), for example. When it hits an intersection, it has a 'choice'. But the choice it makes is predetermined based on certain conditions, and the way the program is designed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is it possible to say that we're the same way - albeit more complex?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:28:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Adding Value to Rubber Bands</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/adding_value_to_rubber_bands/#comment-1822966</link><description>Yeah, I haven't really come up with many uses for rubber bands myself, but some of the ideas on Scoble's blog are really cool.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:50:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Web 2.0 in Education | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/web_20_in_education_sui_generis/#comment-1822968</link><description>Yeah, a forum is I think the most fundamental necessity. On the positive side, a number of schools have a forum, I think the hard part is getting students involved in the forum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just a thought for you. Do you think a school forum should be limited to school topics? Or should students be allowed to talk about their personal interests/lives?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:19:08 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Web 2.0 in Education | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/web_20_in_education_sui_generis/#comment-1822970</link><description>Good suggestions.

Haha. I'm finding that my posts lately are becoming shorter. Just like, short observations and lessons from various things.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And yeah, what I like about Obama is he seems to be going where other candidates haven't gone before. And in doing so, he's changed the game.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 03 Mar 2008 11:25:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Problem with Experience | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/the_problem_with_experience_sui_generis/#comment-1822979</link><description>Thanks. =).

Interesting point about Seth being a person, vs a company. But you can achieve a similar result (authenticiy, building trust, etc) without a blog, I guess. And blogs don't naturally come with 'trust' of the audience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess what I'm trying to get at is that, whether it's a blog or not is just the medium, the style of presentation. At least in my opinion, the message can be the same, and equally important and effective in either medium (if used properly).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:52:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Problem with Experience | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/the_problem_with_experience_sui_generis/#comment-1822976</link><description>Haha. Yeah, could work either way, I guess. For me, I guess I didn't expect much from myself when I first started blogging. As I blog more, I expect myself to improve, so I place more pressure on myself to do better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And well, I've only recently subscribed to your blog, and so far, it definitely hasn't been anywhere near being RSS spam. =).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:56:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Communication - Interpretation vs Intent | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/communication_interpretation_vs_intent_sui_generis/#comment-1822988</link><description>Hi Brad, thanks for dropping by.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yeah, I think testing is important. And also, I think this is why conversations are becoming more and more important.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:12:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Communication - Interpretation vs Intent | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/communication_interpretation_vs_intent_sui_generis/#comment-1822984</link><description>Hi Joanna, glad to see that the comments helped. For me, at least, that happens a lot, because I don't always think through my posts as thoroughly as I should. So the comments make me think more and give me a chance to elaborate on the post. As to finding out what people are hearing, well, I guess the only way you can (unless you're a psychic) is to listen to what people are saying. Because what they say will naturally be what they've heard. And the good thing is, with the internet and all now, it's a lot easier to track what others are saying about you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And Jeanne, thanks. =). Glad you like it. I was actually worried it'd be too short when I first posted it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:05:11 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Social Media Breakfast in Singapore, 29 March | Sui Generis</title><link>http://derrickkwa.disqus.com/social_media_breakfast_in_singapore_29_march_sui_generis/#comment-1822994</link><description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you're on Facebook, you can go to the Facebook event that Daryl created, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=11403512003" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If not, no worries.

I'm kinda really intrigued by the AskaBlogr thing, and I'm hoping it'll work well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And yeah, I'm glad we got to meet last fall as well. =). It's been really an awesome journey, meeting new people. And you were the first person I connected with, so it could be said that it all started with you.

Personally, I think there's a balance. At times, "re-inventing the wheel" can be useful, not in terms of the end product, but in terms of the process. Sometimes, by re-inventing the wheel, you learn and understand it (the tool) better. And in doing so you might learn to see it from a new way and find a new way of using it. From a purely business, end-product perspective, though, I agree with both of you that it isn't a good idea.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for letting me be a part of the book tour.

In my opinion, the 3 points you raise for the case against aren't points that discount it from being a social network at all. It just means it's a more closed and niche social network. I don't think a social network needs to be open to be considered a social network.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Facebook, for example, when it first started was limited to college students. That didn't discount it from being a social network. It just meant it was a social network with a fixed target group - college students.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the same way, the Xbox Live is a social network, but a social network purely for Xbox gamers. Having the barriers to entry, and the "lack of functionality", are just ways to define it's niche and focus, in my opinion. It's still a place where you can meet and build connections with others. As such, it's a social network.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That's my opinion, anyway. =).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:34:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 2008/02/14/mobile-web-predictions/</title><link>http://mashable.disqus.com/thread_4183/#comment-5994604</link><description>I was thinking more of 2009, but yeah.

I dunno about how well this would work for others, but one thing I did when I started my blog is email other well-read bloggers (such as yourself) and get advice and all from them. It really helped to add value to my blog. More than that, it alerted them to what I had to offer, and if they liked what they read, they helped to promote it by linking/referencing it, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So that would be my tip, to get in touch with the leaders of your field. Hope it makes sense.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh, and also, you mention about comments. Linking to other people's media helps. Especially with trackbacks, links can work in a similar way to comments. Even without trackbacks, links tend to help alert the author to your media (because more people are starting to track their name and their own media).</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:11:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Comments and Why RSS Is Not Enough</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/comments_and_why_rss_is_not_enough/#comment-8515888</link><description>Agreed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And well, I'd like, as Chris said, the post and comments combined, but with a toggle.

I think you've got some great tips, in terms of the general side of it. To me, I think a personal brand should be something you don't have to think too much about. It should be natural to you - what you really believe in, what you're passionate about - not something that you try to form. Yes, you make a conscious effort to develop it, but the foundations of it has to be natural.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A second thought - a large part of building your brand is thus surrounding yourself with the right people. People who encourage and inspire you.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Derrick Kwa</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jun 2008 11:10:52 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Develop a Strong Personal Brand Online Part 1</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/develop_a_strong_personal_brand_online_part_1/#comment-8519552</link><description>I think Jon picked up on a very important point.
