“It's time to stop hiding behind brands, corporate policies or the way things used to be. Evolve. Get better. Let's learn from each other. It's called the Collaboration Revolution. Welcome to the Relationship Age.” - Tyler Hurst

FriendFeed can be FUN

I'm still trying to determine the real-life equivalent of this. I may never be able to. Sarcasm is lost on far too many people. Just remember what you know about @replies. Arkayne = window.Arkayne || {}; Arkayne.baseurl = 'http://www.arkayne.com'; Arkayne.go = function(e, a, view, cid, gid) { var id = ...

Chris Anderson is so, so wrong

This man, who apparently thinks the future of everything is Free, refuses to use the words journalism and media in some attempt to reshape the way he views the world. In this interview, he says he doesn't read newspapers, but then admits to reading articles sent to him through RSS or ...

When a friend dies

I did not know Ken. I barely know Bewick. This story serves not as a reminder that we could or should try to save everyone, but rather a reminder that it's important not to put off what we can do today. Smile more. Laugh more. Talk to people more. Don't get ...

WTF is the “true power” of social media?

We all like to be connected. We all like to share stories. We all like to be included. Spreading messages through internet networks is NOT the true power of social media. Any idiot can RT a message, blog about it (yes, I know) and pass it along virtually. It takes far ...

What happens in Seattle

Seattle is quite a different type of town. Today I: -Saw rather obese people on scooters. A whole pack of them. Shouldn't be funny, but it really is. -Saw many women without bras. In the mall, in coffee shops and on the street. Nipping out everywhere. They weren't hippies, nor where they ...

You are not your hit count

Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Erin Andrews. Shut up, Mediaite. Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator. Copyblogger, stop only allowing comments that praise you. Also, don't delete comments that YOU (yes you, Brian Clark) make ripping on dissenting commenters. ...

Things I learned while camping that make sense in real life

The title isn't exactly correct. More like remembered, but you get the point. 1. It's relatively easy to figure where you are. Slightly tougher to figure out where you need to be. Very tough to figure out how to get there. When in doubt, go simple. Walk. 2. Don't upset the herd ...

I get by with a little help from my friends

I'm not a marketer. I don't know SEO (well, kinda). I don't have much PR experience. I can't design you anything, nor can I building anything without directions. I'm a conversationalist. Yes, I know exactly how cheesy that sounds, but it's true. I earn my living, and satiate my desire to ...

Things I should have known that someone told me

Developed by Chelsea Winkel for her current job, this presentation shows why usability and design matter. Universal designs principles are important. They make ...

Stop worrying about your competition

It's human nature to look around us in a race. We want to know who's behind us, how far they're behind and how much harder we have to work to win. This is ALWAYS a mistake. In a race to the finish, your only goal is to run as hard as ...

What can 100 people do with their love of art?

Art is a gift. It changes the giver AND the recipient. But art, like a a true straight line, doesn't actually EXIST. All we can see is the physical representation of the artist's true vision of the world. And for this, we should all be grateful. I've purchased ONE piece of art ...

So you say you want a revolution...yet you have no idea what the word means. According to Scott Dadich, the creative director of Wired, "there's a revolution in the way ppl consume journalism." WHAT?

Make me proud

My dad is a 61-year-old safety trainer and salesman. He's owned his own business, helped raise three kids and has been in the same house since 1981. He's the hardest-working person I know, is never late and hasn't ever given up in the 30 years I've been alive. This past August, ...

Going bare

We wear expensive shoes because we're told they protect our feet. We wear certain styles of clothing because we're told we'll be accepted if we do. We act a certain way in order to fit in. All of these act as barriers to what's really there. Similar to force-feedback on any ...

Context

This is the first picture I'd ever seen of Sunny Thaper. I assumed he tweeted from there and, having never been to Gangplank at the time, had no one to ask. Since this was the only image I had associated with him, I thought of it every time I saw a ...
