Fantastic stuff here Jun! Have always thought about best practices around groups of people to stay in touch with. Contactually is also pretty awesome.

Re: 12 Questions To Ask Your Future Employer

mindofandre — Tue, 17 Feb 2015 12:59:05 -0000

I think these are great questions for the smaller companies/startups (as Sarah mentioned in a recent comment). For the people that are working on hiring the right people rather than being told they need to straight up fill a position quickly and get back to the grind. And when I think about 99u, I think about individuals/companies trying to build a smart culture and do great things. So I think these are pretty appropriate in the right context as you feel things out during the interview. Perfect for some opportunities I'm entertaining - thanks Sarah!

Re: Mailbox App: Is It Worth The Wait

This is exactly my issue with it Russ. Beautifully designed, but just not able to integrate into the system I have now with existing Gmail labels. I'd have to go back into the Mailbox folders and then organize them again.

I'm really enjoying Dropbox these days with all the collaboration between files that I do now. A lifesaver that it's on my phone as well. Second runner up is Evernote, I swear by it to do a brain dump for any ideas and clipping of resources online. Thanks Jenny!

No more campaigns that last 3 months and end up forgotten by "target audiences"! All about sustainability and involving the voices. Great work Alex!

Fantastic advice!! And just in time for my own thinking around doing the same for my blog. I'm past the point where I can keep up with all the fantastic things going on in health innovation and really want other perspectives on various topics that now are included in the content area. Thanks for writing this John! SUPER helpful.

To be honest, this post kind of made me emotional. Not only because of knowing you for the past few years but also capturing very close, the things I've been working on myself. I might need to print this out. So proud of you and glad you took the time to write this. It seals everything into reality. Let's do it.

Re: Going Off the Grid at SxSW

mindofandre — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:25:04 -0000

I'm a people person and that's one of the reasons I enjoyed SXSW last year. I got to meet up with people in person that I truly had friendships with and have a good time. One instance stood out to me on the very first day I arrived at the Convention Center. I came to a table where a young lady was sitting at her laptop. I couldn't find an open outlet to charge my own computer and she kindly showed me her own portable charging station. At that point we exchanged names, she said I had a French name, she was from France and we talked about tech, culture and good food. It kind of set the tone for me for the next few days.

The connections/networking aspect is a very fun part of it for me. However, after reading Wisdom 2.0, I'm hoping to adopt more of the "listen/observe" aspect rather than constantly looking at my phone to see who is tweeting me. Otherwise you don't learn anything and you spent an ish-load of money for nothing.

On top of that, I'm gonna be checking out film stuff a bit more this time which will hopefully give me a little reprieve from some of the interactive distractions.

This is fantastic Geoff!! I remember reading the book while I was doing martial arts in college. Now I need to re-read it and print this out.

Re: Overvaluing Twitter

mindofandre — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 10:21:13 -0000

I actually thought Klout was more or less a joke when it first came around. How can an actually company measure influence on Twitter? Once again it's a shoddy attempt at quantifying social media based on numbers and/or popularity. I'm surprised the Klout engine has gone this far to be even blogged about.

Re: Health as urban design.

mindofandre — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 16:34:13 -0000

I was working on the definition of public health 2.0 but you beat me to it Jay :) Great article as usual too.

As for Skibumef's comment - you're absolutely right. It will indeed take a big, diverse team of people to accomplish this re-envisioning of public/community health. What I mainly see Public Health 2.0 is (along with Jay's description here) is looking beyond what we think of as healthy and look at what is constantly part of our daily lives, motivating us and influencing what we do.

Re: Beyond Groups: Why Curated Membership Communities Are Today’s Most Important Networks

mindofandre — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:40:14 -0000

Fantastically worded Nathaniel and I wholeheartedly agree. For the past few years I have been keeping an eye on these communities and feel like it's an environment where I thrive the best. These communities will truly be shaping how things change for our future.

Re: Confessions of a Sector Switcher

mindofandre — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 10:02:09 -0000

Really enjoyed reading this post Rosetta. It's kind of how I think of myself right now. I'm all about making change and doing good in the world through public health, but I feel that the traditional public health world is broken right now and it's not as effective as it once was. Which is why I'm thinking up "outside the box" ideas on how to make an impact on the public's health and yes <gasp> they might even be for-profit ideas. This is something that rang true when I was honored to chat with Robert Egger last year. He believes in the same thing. Kudos on all your achievements and keep up the great work!

Re: What ARE Influencers Good For?

mindofandre — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:45:30 -0000

It surprised me how much chatter was going on about this service since when I first checked it out late last year, it just seemed like a public Q&A service - sort of like LinkedIn. I didn't see anything ingenious about or new for that matter. Then certain people started talking about it over Twitter and all of a sudden it became the source of blog posts and in depth analysis (as well as ridicule).

I've just come to the conclusion that I'd rather be doing things that matter - whether offline or online - than be someone sprinkled onto a product to make it magical.
