Thanks. Did you write anything useful on handwriting? That's my
weakmess in executing handwritten notes.

Re: How We Read

I never received a list of children's books from Sony. Thanks for
offering a list, but it's already packed up to send back.

I never received a list of children books from Sony -- and couldn't find toddler titles in the Sony eBookstore. Thanks for offering a list, but the reader already is packed up to send back.

I'd don't want to rely on one service for anything, but definitely would like the different services to inter-operate. Portable profiles will bring us closer that, no?

Thanks, Jeff. Good points.

That's a good point. There's truly a more immersive, tactile
experience. Moreover, with used books, there can be a social
connection by sharing or engaging in a space where others have been,
and have left their marks, or will in the futute. Finally, it's
probably best to get used books from people who were smart, so you can
refer to their notes and highlights. (An indirect way of surrounding
yourself with people smarter than you, and that's my recipe for
success.)

Re: Ad Network Platforms vs. Demand Platforms

maxkalehoff — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:48:20 -0000

A big question for me is whether agencies will succeed in building technology that can scale across diverse client needs. Historically, agencies have had a difficult time building technology and making it scale like a product. In fact, many advertising-technology initiatives retreated into agencies when they failed as scalable products -- we've seen that happen a lot in the SEM space.

Re: A Friend Is A Present You Give Yourself

I suppose it means that if you make the effort to befriend someone, you're actually rewarding yourself through the joy and benefits of a friend.

Great breakdown. What's missing?
- Stronger privacy standards: That's an underlying risk in this big mess.
- Simplification: You're very articulate, but boy...this is a tough ecosystem for anyone to follow.

Re: Are Marketers More Important Than Developers?

Thanks Sukhjit. Importantly, thought, the marketing is a lot more than
getting buzz out.

Re: Figuring Out Social Media? The Answer Is Not Advertising

maxkalehoff — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:37:17 -0000

For any business, it's not about doing social media. It's about breeding a culture whereby your community and stakeholders want you to win -- "pissing out of your tent" the saying goes. It's also about being where your customers are and making it easier for them to do what they'd want to do anyway. Social media should be the byproduct, a means to an end. Nothing more.

Re: Some Bloggers Can Be Bought, But Not Me

I think legally, the issue is deception. But personally and practically, the issue is trust. I think citizens will play a greater role in journalism, and journalism as a profession will be redefined. By definition, a profession is comprised of professionals, who uphold a standard that not everyone else can. Citizens are encroaching on traditional standards, so journalism will need to create new standards that others can't so easily achieve -- if it is to remain a profession.

Sheehan was the biggest geek among us and I admire him for that!

Thanks for the shout-out. My experience with this project has been great. So far, there is what the project has done for me:

- Introduced me to some other cool dads, and created a shared experience -- the most rewarding part.
- Made me more familiar with Sony, the company and its products.
- Made me more familiar with some, but not enough of the people behind the corporation and the products.
- Underscored that Sony makes quality products, though most are not for me because of complexity and design shortcomings.
- Re-casted me as a Sony fan, not one that endorses its products, but one that sees potential and wants the organization to improve and succeed (though this would increase if Sony would surface more of the story and people behind what they're doing).
- Made me more familiar with the dynamics of blogger and community marketing.

The principles are good, but the FTC regulations are messy and full of contradictions. Btw, what about email subscribers to my blog? Do they need to be informed as well?

I agree 100%. Similarly, that's why I always say I will "try" to be transparent and authentic. The fact is that I'm human and therefore imperfect. I sometimes make mistakes and get things wrong, even if my intentions are good. Moreover, disclosure is dependent on materiality, and that's certainly relative and subjective.

Re: Vandalized Ads Simply Are Better

maxkalehoff — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 08:27:28 -0000

Some similarities. It was a spontaneous, cultural overlay -- a
disintermediation of a one-way communication. Poor taste, to be sure.
But isn't most political discourse, especially its advertising?

A contest would be cool. Should it be sanctioned by advertisers or not?
