DISQUS

Thanks for reviewing the video, glad you enjoyed it!

PREACH! I hate self proclaimed gurus/experts. Just do a search for social media guru / expert and look at the long line of douche-bags referring to themselves as such. The important thing is to follow this post up with an education on how to find someone with passion and expertise in social media - so you don't get ripped off by self-proclaimed experts with a bunch of followers.

Andy, great sources thanks!

Wil Reynolds's last blog post..I got my a** kicked for being white hat

Janet, great findings, great post. Definitely sharing with the crew here at SEER, if I get a second I'll post it on our blog too. What I like is the actual TRACKING of efforts, not just doing SM b/c it is COOL, but because it can lead to real business results.

Hey dude, keep at it. Good luck and I'll keep you in mind for future opps.

Hmmm, don't know what I think about this one - but you are right, why fight google. people spend too much time complaining about what they don't think is fair, instead of fixing the issue and becoming valuable.

What a cluster F

"When it is time to change??" Nice one!

AHHH This was bothering me LIKE MAD!! Thanks for posting.

Shawn, tacky and entitled is SOOO true.

Andy, thanks for sharing this. Do you know if it just looks like a big text file or will you be able to have the readable text be full of bolds, header tags, and other design elements to create emphasis?

Hey Thanks Evan! Will I see ya at Boston?

Yes Shawn - the annotations are really useful!

Funny, I think what this person did was smart. They developed a message that was generalizable, but made people feel that it was personal. Seth sees this and then shows us that what we thought was personal was not.

I think the only thing that could have been done to make this more authentic would be to actually read the blogger's stuff and connect (if possible) the bloggers actual interests to your clients offering.

I just meant you were off on that quote. Not everything else.

Beal my man, you are off here.

"Just when I thought I had it all figured out–we’re one America and there should be no segregation/segmentation based on the color of our skin–Rushmore Drive launches."

This is about marketing dude, you know that. Products and services have been marketed to people of different wealths, races, sexual orientations, etc. BET for instance makes sense.

However this idea is awful, for once simple reason...relevancy.

People, regardless of color, wealth, sexual orientation, height, etc want relevant results.

Would I be more likely to use this search engine because I am black - YES - if it did a better job than Google. Which it won't do, because if they could do a better job than Google they would not focus their search on one race and instead do for do it for the whole world - thus increasing revenues.

If this is a portal then fine, a search engine? STUPID!

If I type in a query I want the best result, searching for a coupon or a medication? Just get me the best result, I don't want coupons only for blacks or only black doctors to return in my results for a medication.

Let me go short IAC, they are reaching for straws!

Thanks so much, glad to hang with the penguin for a second!
