Thanks for the support and the kind words Mark! It's great (dare I say, refreshing) to partner with another brand who believes in empowering their customers.

If you've set up your first ever sweepstakes with this guide, reply to this comment and share the process you went through from conception to launch. We'd love to hear some stories and provide pointers. :)

I totally agree. Sometimes you have to try something new out.

While it's a bit early to see how companies have to contend with the Gmail tabs, it's important keep focusing on creating high quality emails and providing great service to your customers (i.e.: your email list). Regardless of what changes are introduced to the ecosystem, those who focus on delivering the best value will still do well for themselves.

Great summary Scott! My biggest issue—aside from the plight of the individual employees—is the complacency which appears rampant through entire organizations due to incumbency or (in the case of Time Warner and "Bill") laws allowing for monopolies.

It's important to emphasize that many of the 'stolen' ideas were originally just an inkling whispered from its creator, elevated to new heights by a listener with vision and the decision-capacity to run with such notions. Sometimes it needs to be fostered with the right hands and the person with the idea isn't necessarily fit to bring it to its full potential.

This is what happens every day in our industry, and it's amazing. I've even discovered a few of my own tweets or casual comments transformed into great articles or features by friends who have more clout or conviction. More power to them.

The point of Dustin's site is to experiment with typography and content. If it makes you uncomfortable, it's doing its job.

Sort of follows the the same idea behind failing often. You'll have a few more "failures" sure, but a lot more "winners" as a result.

AA lost an asset in their rash judgment. Seems they're losing a lot more by being an unsustainable business. They'll learn the hard way how important culture is.

So you're actually doing it! Hope it all goes well, and that you have time still to work on your writing as you travel. Don't forget to eat and carry spare change for when your luggage is inevitably lost or unwearable!

Hope to chat with you while you're on the journey. :) Let me know if you need any help along the way.

There is a great industry in wordsmithing to encourage greater click-throughs and conversions. You'd be surprised how some of the smallest changes, like replacing a comma with a semi-colon, in something as small as two sentences can drastically change its effectiveness.
