So true. I know there have been plenty of times I’ve heard a bad review of a movie, business or person and kept it in mind. A personal endorsement or a negative comment from someone who’s opinion you know and trust is so valuable, especially in this day and age when there is so much choice for everything.

Multiple people took action, hopped into their cars and opened their
wallets to a new business, merely at the mention of it online.

Word-of-mouth is such a powerful, powerful force. We’re essentially doing the same thing every time we complain about company online; it may not spark up a conversation, but any one of your followers might chose to discontinue their business with someone because of it. That’s when not being present to be able to shape the convo becomes a huge liability.

I’m glad you liked it Rob. I find at times it’s very hard to quantify what social media can do for your business at times, which is why I found this instance so fascinating.

Good work James. Lots of merit in this post about using Twitter as SMM tool for increased ‘bums in seats’. I like how it resulted in more than one actual visit to the establishment – the thread is also a good example of ‘the drift’ and @saffry9′s skill in maneuvering the conversation.

I recently setup my domains to use google apps, as Colin mentioned. Definitely a great way to tame your inbox.

Hey James, Thanks for this reminder. I had been using gmail for pro correspondence knowing full well that it looked bad. I did not know exactly how easy it was to add email to my professional domain and easily redirect it or do whatever else I want to do with it.

I continue to have hope that people will prefer to have a behavioural change by choice rather than by fear or catastrophic insistence.

What it will take in the biggest struggle of it all will be more entrepreneurial types to take up their purpose and structure their businesses in such a way as that they are ahead of the curve and affording other options to broadcasting “this is normal, this is normal, this is normal, this is normal” we in marketing in some senses are at the edge of this.

Marketers were used to sell the un-sustainable “american dream” per se, and Marketers will be used to sell the truths of sustainability, and the facts that we are all going to have to sacrifice our beliefs in our deserving or ensuring we have as a right the ability to take up and occupy land in such in-humane fashions.

I suppose the reality is that due to the nature of elected officials they really have no ability to think in larger then 5 year blocks.

The problem we have is that nobody sees the end game with regards to oil and our current lifestyles. The reality is we've been living like this for a century and its become the norm to just expect more homes be built, for cities to grow and eventually merge, because that's what has happened our whole lives. Every North American is brought up with the dream of having a spouse, kids, dog and a detached home with a big yard. So changing that mentality is going to be the biggest struggle.

am I so strange that all of this presentation seems to be fully totally commonsensical?

09:00 is my belief in the truth of the matter of all things...

for jurisdictional governor govern in a fashion that does not allow them to give a damn about more than 5 years ahead from today.

you know i could go on about this issue for hours days books and tomes worth.
