LiveJournal should have been shut down along with GeoCities. You don’t need to get funding for your business. Which is good, since you probably won’t anyway. Google Reader. Batch. Skim. Tag. Tweet. Clear.
Attention Annoying and Condescending Web Masters: We know your tricks. We know why you still use straight HTML instead of CMS. We know how you scare us into worrying about site breakage. We know how you hack together poorly written HTML files with half-done CSS and deprecated style tags. We know why you have thrown us into the dark pits of Go Daddy and Network Solutions… all so you can be the one, the only guide capable of navigating us through your obnoxious mix of bad design, arcane coding, and poor user interface. Shoot- if my only option was Go Daddy, I’d probably pay someone else to do things, too. But as I said, your days are numbered. The rise of easy to install, easy to customize, and easy to maintain CMS solutions means that your clients can and should be able to make updates, add content, and do minor tweaking without your hourly rates. At the same time that technology has made the job of web self-mastery much easier, the economy has made the monthly expense of a “Guru” incredibly unappetizing. I just read two different lawyers suggesting that Wikipeida might be a good place to get new clients… So… Because it might be good marketing, we’re supposed to ignore Wikipedia standards about self-promotion, advertising, original research, notability, and autobiography. It even breaks the Ignore All Rules rule, since a shameless advertisement (no.. I know… not an advertisement, just a “profile”) cannot possibly contribute to the quality of the encyclopedia. And.. just in case all those individual guidelines don’t gel together to help you realize that Wikipedia doesn’t like you writing articles about yourself, there is even a page called, “List of bad article ideas.” 1. Yourself or your organization – including a band of which you are a member or employee, even if either is notable! See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I used to work in direct sales (in Financial Services). One of the last managerial abuses I was subject to before telling them I had started my own firm was a reminder of 10-3-1. That is, ten appointments equals three opportunities, equals one sale. That awful feeling you get in your stomach when you start treating people like numbers… there’s a reason for that. Pay attention to it. PM @ NS: U Suk! Once upon a time (a long time ago, and for a very short moment) “computers” (such as they were) were “programed” (such as it was done) in machine language… If you are intrigued by Social Media… |
