Re: Leveraging Twitter Lists For B2B Success

David — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:04:18 -0000

Kip,
I like the list features, but I wonder if it's a little to late. I've set up my lists and have been working them within Seesmic Desktop. The thought I doing this over doesn't seem very appealing. However, for those that use the web version only this will be a great addition.

Re: Facebook – who, what and why we should care

David — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:12:06 -0000

To begin with, I like the simplicity of the Facebook interface. If your comparing MySpace on this feature only Facebook wins hands down.

Second, I'm using Facebook as my "Social Media Hub." A place to collect feeds from my blog, Google Reader, del.icio.us, Twitter, etc. and then make then available to my friends. It's a collection of "ME" to keep my friends in the loop. It's a bulletin board to those that want to stay connected.

Finally, thanks Lee for the detailed post on the latest phenomenon.

Re: SOF Observed ↵ return to front page - NPR Series on Muslim Women in Europe

Have been a listener to the podcast for a long time and always enjoy it. I was extremely excited about SOF blogging. I curious though if you would consider offer you RSS feed to publish the full blog post via just the first sentence?

Thanks for all your efforts!

Re: Confession

David — Sun, 03 Jul 2005 11:56:53 -0000

I've have said for a while that confession is ingredient that we are truly missing. However, until we circle ourselves in communities where the outcome of confession is forgiveness and release rather than exposure and isolation we will continue to not practice it. However, if we circle ourselves within a community of trust and love we will began to see this needed practice again enjoyed by followers of Jesus.

You nailed it with the final sentence, "If you want to achieve any level of success, you must master promotion as well as production." Good stuff!!

"Twitter connects you to the PERSON not the business"

Chris, I love this! I would rather connect with the "PERSON" any day. I tired of trying to connect to the business.

Re: Connect With Your Audience

David — Sat, 05 May 2007 12:46:06 -0000

As Jay commented earlier public speaking can be very terrifying to those who seldom give presentations. However, to those that speak on a regular basis there must be a change from product pitching and connecting with me.

Connecting for me is being available before and after your presentation. The presenter also has to come into my world and this can be achieved with genuine interest in me more than just his product. The bottom line is if there's genuine interest in my world if the product is applicable then I may BUY into your world.

In other words, authentic, engaging, honest, concern, interest, me has to speak louder than pitch, sale, close, client.

Just a few thoughts on the fly!

Re: Five Personal Branding Tips

David — Tue, 08 May 2007 17:25:31 -0000

Chris, I like the tip - "Tighten up you message." Like others who have commented I needed to be reminded of that.

Personal branding has to be about adding value to others not just me, me, me. If adding value to others is important hopefully trust and transparency will be communicated with it.

Great Stuff!

Re: Connecting People

David — Mon, 21 May 2007 11:00:40 -0000

Chris, very nice! While I've never thought of myself as a connector I find myself constantly connecting.

Thanks for sharing what you do!!

Re: The Matrix Lives Your Life

David — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 10:47:26 -0000

It comes down to "making choices" and "taking action." The question I've asked myself after reading this post is, Am I putting action towards my choices or am I in the never ending rat race of always taking action to someone else's choices?

The challenge isn't whether we won't to act. The challenge is whether we want to make a choice. Especially if it goes against the grain.

Thanks CB for thoughts and insight!
