Thank you! Bibsonomy is perfect for what I was looking for, and they still support RSS!

Re: Droga5 Curses at ‘Misconceptions’ for Newcastle

I love Newcastle. But my wife won't let me drink it because of the supposed food coloring. Can they address that in an ad so I can drink it again?

Re: What Fresh Statistics Tell Us About Twitter’s Decline

vanhoosear — Tue, 13 May 2014 05:57:44 -0000

Is Twitter entering its "twilight years?" I think not. Yes, it must adapt or die. But it IS adapting. It owns Vine. And it's retooling to become more visual -- indeed more like Facebook. It remains the "social media franca" of the Internet -- the least common denominator for quick, fast online sharing with the largest group possible.

But that's not necessarily a very compelling place to be, even for a marketer. People want to be able to tell there stories in as many different ways as possible. Twitter's focus on 140 characters is certainly limiting, and the massive breadth has created an apparent lack of depth. But if you dive into the platform, into cards, into Vine (launched by Twitter in 2013), you see the capacity for much more.

I don't expect Twitter, if you'll forgive me, to die on the Vine. I expect more to come from the platform cum portal.

So Ruth, If Twitter HAS peaked, what would replace it? App.net now that it's free? I'd love your thoughts...

If Facebook were so concerned with subtlety, we'd be able to do more than just "Like" things...

Re: Now with More Burner Phone!

Chris, you mentioned a technique proffered by Justin Cutroni to address the disappearing search term data in GA -- setting up a filter that maps organic searches to the pages they land on. Can you explain this tactic in any more detail?

Re: Now with More Burner Phone!

Chuck and I used Google Voice for years for business. You do need another phone, but you can do an awful lot without one (and without racking up any GV charges). While we finally broke down and bought a proper phone system (a hosted VoIP Digium Switchvox system), GV worked well for a long while.

Blowhard? Please, Patrick. Overexposed? Maybe. But I don't think you have to be cruel. Neil is a smart and nice guy who has made his love for science contagious.

Love the epitaph and the sentiment. I'm fortunate that I still have both of my parents, but I know how fleeting life can be. Thing is, your dad WILL live forever, at least in your hearts and minds. Peace,
