DISQUS

Jan... hehe! it's okay. I'm a little busy with my studies, i never had enough time to answer the comments of the previous post.


Thank you so much for featuring me!



wee! XD

i just want to correct the following ideas that i wrote on my post... sorry for a blundering take on postmodernism. It slipped in to my mind. Sorry!


I wrote: "...postmodern society where intertexuality (a principle which denies the existence of grand absolute universal truths)..." i never quite said it right mainly because i committed a categorical mistake. When one uses the term "postmodern society", it prompts a discussion on sociological aspects of postmodernism. To identify 'postmodern society' in terms of a philosophical concept of 'intertextuality' is like colliding philosophy with sociology, two different categories, which results to an erroneous reasoning.



It should be this: ...'postmodern society' where media is the primary driving force for reshaping social experience and subjectivity.



hehe! sorry! Ciao!

@kathleenmaher


i was wondering, what do you exactly mean by 'being clued in'?



i think what you are trying to say is that being referred to or being cited by other blogs. it's a big factor to successful blogging. Not only featured to other blogs but also featured to other media such as television, print, and advertisements. Good publicity, that is.



I thank Jan for doing that! haha!

@Angel Cuala


I agree with you sir. Purpose should be factored in when it comes to becoming a successful blogger.



being a successful blogger should not be limited to only the three characteristics that i mentioned. successful money makers online may or may not be good writers but they certainly have to be good SE Optimizers...

Thank you so much jan! i really appreciate it!

haha! i like this one. i suddenly remember my first attempt to create a blog. I said to myself, "This is not a blog but a journal, a piece of writing, a mirror, a window to one's soul, and a remedy for a broken heart" (from my diary Feb 23, 1008)


I never thought of becoming a great blogger, but i always imagine myself becoming a great writer.



I always felt this euphoric feeling, coming out of my room, plunging into my daily life with a thought that i started a new thing: a blog. In changed me in many ways, and blogging help me a lot in breaking my WRITER's BLOCK, which plague me for two years. I have always kept a diary, but i felt it wasn't enough to cure the blockage.



A great blogger is not necessarily a great writer. One has a quality different from the other. I find it surprising to find bloggers such as bryanboy (byanboy.com) and scott (thesartorialist.blogspot.com) earning a lot of money without putting much effort in their writing.



i came with the understanding after a year of immersion into the blogosphere that the a great blogger should have the following characteristics:



1) a Persona: this is the projected character of the author, it manifest through his writing style. if bryanboy is known for his tongue-and-cheek and funny character on his blog, he may turn out to be a different person when one meets him in person. Great writers should be masters in depicting this persona.



2) CONSISTENT with his own niche. niche blogging is growing nowadays. It works effectively for me to focus on one theme: CINEMA. If one starts a personal blog, he probably has to invoke a consistent persona.



3.) INFLUENTIAL.







Ciao!

You like arguments don't you? :P

ok, i agree that elliott wave is a valid technique for trading. in my opinion it keeps you disciplined, it puts things into perspective. with good money mangement you cand have positive results.
still. do you guys really believe that the market moves in 5 waves? do this exercise: assume that there should be 7 waves instead of 5 (4 impulse, 3 corrective). if you can fit the market action into that, then elliott wave is not valid. i tried and i could do it. (tip: you can use the same "tricks" like failed waves, double corrections and so on)

so, i guess, when nothing else works, one turns to elliott wave. i thought this blog had more quality but it seems i was wrong

Why Would I want to use this when I can easily just let the clip play and then click at around where I want to look at the clip. I do not see people wanting to do this, seriously

Hi Jake,


I love the idea that we may be forced (by the economic crisis) to do the right thing. Not just from an ecological standpoint, but also from a social one. Absolutely agree, it's much better to think about than one's 401K.



Adrian

cool one^^

Thanks Helge,


As always you've pointed to another great resource I didn't know about before.

haha touche


actually i think this is a demonstration of allowing your audience to write their own story around your company.



plus, i think it's a testament to the power of PR. this isn't something they could or would have run advertising around.



how are you nien?

Absolutely agree Helge, and I love your examples. The phone ushers in the possibility of a new creative revolution in marketing. I can't wait.

Thanks Helge, just ordered the book!


I agree, activity based targeting is the future which is why I think that the mobile phone will be the dominant advertising platform in the future. Am writing about this today.

I do know about Open Social, think it's a step in the right direction - but it's an initiative to let you USE your data elsewhere not to OWN it. Control still resides elsewhere - I think this is going to be a big issue soon as people get smarter about how much information they're really giving up AND what that information is really worth. Would love to discuss this over a beer, I enjoy discussing almost anything over a beer!

Good meeting you too Charles, hope your trip is going well. Let me know if you do make it to Minneapolis, you should definitely visit.


Also thanks for the tip - missed this the first time http://russelldavies.typepad.com/advertising_pr...>

Hi GL, thanks for stopping by!

@curiouslypersistent I wonder if a situation could develop where open source tools became the defacto social platforms (a la apache). Feels to me that social services (and the data) are important enough that an open source solution will gain traction at some point.


@adam owning your data makes it easier to use for a host of other reasons as well as making it easier to integrate with private non-shared data. I have a host of documents on my computer which I will never share but which are related to my public/social content - and I'd love to have them ALL under my control. Try taking that data from Ning (or any aspect of that data) and using it somewhere else - it's much harder than it should be considering its yours.

@david esrati I like the metaphor of sharecropper! I think there's a post in there.
