Comment on Google “Me” and What It Means Right Now by Jed

Haha totally agree, Bill. Good Will Hunting, despite being an amazing movie, was the beginning of the end for a number of actors, including one of my favorites, R-Will. Flubber, Death to Smoochy, One Hour Photo, Man of the Year, RV, The Night Listener…I could go on, but I think the point it made.

Can’t imagine Google will continue to prevail if they keep releasing these products that fall short. Usually the negative has a longer lasting footprint than the positive. Kind of like Ben Affleck movies. Make too many Daredevil’s and Jersey Girl’s, and you forget about Good Will Hunting.

Update: Twitter has just rolled out “Twitter Places”, a more robust geotagging system, and is integrating with Foursquare and Gowalla. But can we please get more creative with the names?? Google Places, Twitter Places, Facebook Places. Sheesh.

Yeah James, it’s interesting that Facebook seems to go for these huge, over-arching changes either without giving it a whole lot of thought, or (most likely) not caring. Facebook’s user numbers keep increasing, despite confusion and privacy issues, however, so maybe they don’t have to care!

Good point; itt’s been discussed that the “likes” will have an influence on search results, but they won’t be counting as backlinks. As far as sending them updates, you try placing buttons on your site that allow visitors to subscribe to your blog or “like” your Facebook page, but unless they opt-in, you won’t be able to send them updates.

Comment on Sun Tzu and the Art of War (and Marketing) by Everett Reiss

Hey Jed,

Thanks for the succinct recap of Sun Tzu for Success, and the actionable takeaways. I think forming a counsel is a great idea. I kind of have a personal one, but I don’t draw upon it enough. Typically, I’m my first resort, and second resort, and maybe third resort – and then I seek counsel Some of the wisdom literature of scripture also stresses this, like Prov 15:22, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed,” and an even more famous one, Eccl 4:9-12, which ends with “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Anyway, great meeting you in person at the Tweetup and thanks for applying Sun Tzu to marketing and success. Read the Art of War in college and haven’t thought about it since… until now.

Definitely Justin, Community pages have a learning curve (like everything else) and Facebook seems to be implementing changes too quickly for the average user. Here’s something from The Onion about just that, if you didn’t see it:

Can it also help as a kind of back links for SEO for google and other SEs. Also if some body likes my website ie. http://www.arounddelhi.com , then how can I send him updates if he is not a fan of may FB fan page http://facebook.com/arounddelhi

Insightful Post. I didn’t expect the Like behaviour to vary so much. I may leave it a month or two before implementing this, see where the dust settles.

Thanks for pointing this stuff out because I too have been confused about things I Like but have already mentioned in my profile. Facebook is trying to take over the web but it seems they didn’t think all the ideas through enough. Community Pages are something I think the avg Facebook user still doesn’t understand whatsoever.
