DISQUS

Hear hear, Gary!

Nice article!

One idea I had while reading it is to take your Rolodex and start inviting Austin startups to demo at Conjunctured. Do this weekly at the same time each week. Open up Conjunctured to the public to come into these talks. This will serve multiples purposes.

1. It will shine a light on Austin companies and what they are doing, giving them press and also introducing them to potential hires or consultants.

2. It will widen the net of people who are interested in working at or at least learning more about Conjunctured.

3. It will help help establish Conjunctured as a hub for startup activity.

Unless you're starving, hell no. :) If they didn't hire you for you, then what's the point. You're a "youth culture" consultant for crying out loud. You're not their employee (fortunately).

I mean what's the big deal, cut your hair, get the gig if you really want it...it's ok.

But it seems particularly perplexing given the reason they hired you and could be a warning sign to run the other direction from the project.

In general I would say you want to look for clients which "get you and your style" rather than those who don't. I'm sure you'll find some.

Very nice, Wynn. That’s cool!

word.

btw, that's @robertetaylor, not robert e kelly

cheers

Thanks for that reminder Gary. Great concept. Vids are up from your Austin visit. Thanks for making the trip!

Peace

John Erik, it was great!

I've got the videos up on my site now.

wrt the post...

I'd link up your LinkedIn posting on "asked LinkedIn friends a question" in case people want to jump to the whole discussion right now.

At the bottom, where you say I encourage you to "ask questions on LinkedIn", I'd link that to the primary page for LinkedIn Answers in case people want to check it out. My $0.02.

I like the fact that you've published this big list. I'd suggest you use a strikethrough as you meet with each person and update the blog post accordingingly. That way, we can follow your progres.

Nice.

Hey John

I am liking what I am seeing from you in following you online. Keep up the energy. Hope to meet you sometime soon.

Fred, I know you are aware of SnapTweet, but I just wanted you to know we've recently added auto-tweeting based on a Flickr tag like Twittergram has. Best.

Howdy folks...

SnapTweet bridges two services I love, Twitter and Flickr. Please give it a try sometime.

Thanks

SnapTweet is a service which combines Flickr and Twitter. It allows auto-posting via Flickr tag or via direct message to @snaptweet. It doesn't try to create another photo store or a new friend network, it just hooks up two services that we all love.

Please give it a go sometime. Thanks.

Hello Dave, I wanted to tell you about an app I wrote called SnapTweet ( http://snaptweet.com/ ). It is sort of similar to what you built for yourself I guess, except it only tweets your latest when you tell it to. Please try it out sometime if its of interest.

Thanks, Damon
