I’m feeling patriotic

March 31, 2007 – 10:19 pm

…and would like to highlight some amazing Canadian startups as well as Canadian contributions to the Web world, in general. I’m hoping that my friends at the Globe and Mail will see this and understand the importance of the media in really highlighting and helping their homegrown companies.
(if I’ve missed your company, please [...]

I Own my Own Words, indeed

March 31, 2007 – 7:37 pm

RE: Calling Chris Locke a sad soul who blames others in the SF Chron.
I really need to watch what I say to reporters. I have a knack for making statements that either get hyperbolized or, more likely, are printed exactly how they came across and what I should realize is how awful they sound in [...]

Embracing the chaos: and recognizing opportunities

March 29, 2007 – 3:15 pm

Our client, Carlos Garcia of Scrapblog proved this week that embracing the chaos can expose exciting opportunities for a startup.
On Tuesday afternoon, Chris and I stopped by the Adobe booth at ETech to chat with Michelle Turner about Apollo. Adrian Ludwig was also there, preparing for the hot Apollo demo they were going to do [...]

Fighting the wrong enemy

March 29, 2007 – 2:46 pm

Not so long ago, I was chatting with a blogging colleague of mine who, after discussing our similar woes with trolling in our comments (mine, thankfully, are pretty light…his aren’t), said to me:
“When did I become the enemy?”
Certainly, with a great deal of severe evil in the world, people trying to take advantage of others [...]

The Unsinkable Kathy Sierra

March 27, 2007 – 8:15 am

On Saturday, whilst working on our last minute changes to our ETech presentation, I received a frightened email from Kathy Sierra that read in the subject line:
“I may just have to quit”
I quickly opened it up. It wasn’t the first time Kathy had sent me an email on the content, but the subject line really [...]

What’s Your Favourite Virtual Community?

March 25, 2007 – 10:35 am

I’ve known about VampireFreaks.com since I lived in Toronto and hung out at the Bovine Sex Club (not what you think…rock’n’roll bar) and lived just off of Queen Street West, so I loved it when Ted presented it as a strong ‘niche’ community example at FOWA06, I was totally delighted. I never quite ‘fit in’ [...]

Off to ETech

March 25, 2007 – 10:06 am

Chris and I are off to ETech this week. We are giving a workshop entitled:
Community Marketing: Your Customers in Charge
Which is a bit melodramatic for the pretty nuts and bolts workshop we’ve put together.
Stay tuned, because we’ll also post the slides to Slideshare as well as the notes from the session soon!
See you [...]

How to: Receiving Customer Feedback

March 19, 2007 – 6:53 pm

A necessarily numbered list of tips from our experiences…

How to Receive & Integrate Customer Feedback
1. Listen to expert users, but don’t (often) integrate their suggestions.
I know many experts who will violently disagree with me here, but I think that just justifies my position. Probably one of the worst things you can do is to [...]

Banality and Shakespeare’s Sister

March 18, 2007 – 11:12 pm

There are two types* of people in this world: the first believes everyone’s lives are inherently interesting and the second is Nicholas Carr.
Yes, it is a terribly narcissistic mistake to believe that anyone gives a flying snake about what you ate for breakfast (it was Mintz Blintzs from Trader Joe’s and they were amazing, [...]
