The Whuffie Factor: Threadless Interview

May 6, 2008 – 6:32 am

I had the chance to sit down with the awesome people at Threadless in December in a very snowy Chicago. They are so brilliant. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I heart Zappos.com muchly and Rachael and Tony made me heart it even more. I really enjoyed talking with them about the core values that makes Zappos rock so much.

Oh…and btw…I finished my book. Yay me!

Tweeting for Companies 101

April 21, 2008 – 4:58 pm

Why Twitter?

The key to Twitter is the level of listening you do as well as talking. It [...]

The Whuffie Factor Interviews: Timbuk2

April 21, 2008 – 12:03 pm

I sat down with Patti and Perry of Timbuk2 to ask them about their views on customer service, quality and community. Their answers are pretty cool.

Interview: Austin Hill and Akoha.org

April 3, 2008 – 12:48 pm

I was fortunate to be able to sit down in December with the amazing Austin Hill, Canadian VC and multi-time entrepreneur, to talk to him about the oldest form of economics: The Gift Economy and how Akoha.org (coming soon) fits into this.

Heroes Don’t Work Alone

April 2, 2008 – 2:52 pm

I’m constantly flabbergasted that some people want to give full credit for an idea, movement or event to a single person.
“It wouldn’t have happened without so-and-so!”
Well, they are right, but also wrong. Movements, from my experience, wouldn’t happen without a whole lot of people moving them forward. If there is only one person responsible, [...]

The Axis of Misery

March 2, 2008 – 10:59 pm

Misery by Mollyeh11 on Flickr
There are certain companies that, when I know I have to deal with them, a big wave of dread washes over me. In fact, there are INDUSTRIES that bring on this feeling. Industries like airline, car rental, telecom, cable, banks and storage always bring this on for me. Most of them [...]

Social Capital and the Influence of Social Networks

February 23, 2008 – 11:04 pm

Someone once asked me if reputation is interchangeable with Social Capital. Yes and no. To me, reputation is merely a dimension of Social Capital, not truly interchangeable. Social Capital is much more complex and includes:

connections
reputation
influence
bridging capital - the number of connections you have across to different industries, social strata, etc.
bonding capital - the depth of [...]

Yes. Internet Friends can also be Friends IRL

February 21, 2008 – 9:17 pm

This past month and a half has been a little rocky for me. In the future, I’m sure that I will refer to it as a blip on the positive momentum of my life, but today, it still feels a little overwhelming.
But the positive part of all of this is what I have learnt [...]
