[...] Once we’ve got all these QR codes, and people are scanning everything, we’re also likely to see a rise in push notifications for coupons. Someday soon, your phone may know you’re on the grocery store aisle with the tomato sauce, and send you a coupon! Read up on this new trend on Dave’s blog. [...]

I love the “…except the offenders, who listen selectively and only hear the praise.” Thank you.

Sadly, I’m not sure folks tell the truth privately either. Everyone is afraid to offend — except the offenders, who listen selectively and only hear the praise.

I’ve been mostly off Twitter as of late due to the need for noise reduction, which, for a noise-tolerant person like me, is saying a lot. And when I do jump on these days, I scroll very quickly.

Social is no different than real life; the people who need to hear the message most are convinced it’s for others.

Comment on Mowcasting: Mow grass, consume podcasts by bethgsanders

I like podcasts too. They are something I listen to only when I’m alone, though, because Jim & I seldom are in the mood for the same thing at the same time. And I like the multitasking aspect as well.

They are actually pretty popular in the church world – I know quite a few folks who listen to missed Sunday sermons or special programs.

Mowcasting. A new word. I like it.

Comment on Social won’t be Bitched. by lalunablanca

I’m confident that we’ll never have the hard & fast criteria (or at least I’m hopeful we never “think” we do as a society). Your comment reminds me of something I heard at SxSW, “I don’t do business with logos”.

While there is no hard and fast criteria (yet) for how to “do” social networking, I do believe that those companies that “get it” approach this new technology as if it were a cocktail party. If they come in and do nothing but talk about the new product / service that they are offering, no one will want to talk to them. If they behave like a type-A asshole (i.e. “Command and Control”), they will not get invited back.

What has seemed to work so far is trying to add a REAL human face to their social networking presence. If a corporate twitter user actually has a conversation with another user, it proves that there IS a person on the other end and not a marketing bot.
