I like Twitter. I don't mind the ads. And Twitter is close to letting us download our own archived tweets: http://searchengineland.com/twitter-tweet-archive-tool-comin... If ads interrupted my experience, then maybe it would become a pain

My father-in-law is a small farmer running 2000-3000 acres each year, depending on the year. My wife does the books for the family farm so I get to hear quite a bit about what is going on per field, per crop, etc. I signed up for the trial

I'm having a hard time trying to find something that I like about the new Digg v1. It feels "meh" to me so far. The layout of the content makes it hard for me to digest...I already hope there is a redesign when v2 is launched.

Funny. Walmart did this with their Great Value brand in '08 or '09. I am not sure if they continue with this color/minimal generic brand design or not. Google Image search for "great value walmart white label": http://goo.gl/yznJb

The past few years have been incredibly good to me. I don't have the time or energy to name and shame. I just keep busy trying to hustle and do what's right. I will also try to never make that mistake again because I feel like I learned som

You're right. It could have been much worse. It's all about perspective isn't it? I like to think I grew up a little in business after this incident.

It took a good year+ for me to get over it although I still try to persuade people considering this particular company to seriously consider alternatives.

"The day I did something very very bad" can happen to marketers too. I owned a pay per click management agency from 2005-2009. In 2008 I decided to buy some Enterprise software to help me better manage big clients in competitive spaces. I m

I hope they rock the industry and cover not only the big brands or big events, but also let local brands sponsor local events.

I hope I never have to send a C&D letter. If I do, I will try my damnedest to be this cool about it. Way to be, JD! I don't even drink and now I'm a fan of how you do business.

I'm fairly active on Twitter. I'm also a raving fan, enough to pay for a premium version if it were ever created. Features I would pay for: Personal analytics dashboard, some sort of auto-bookmarking/categorizing of my tweets with links, se

There are some excellent answers to this question on Quora: http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-most-important-qualities-t... In my experience, approaching a mentor and asking them to be your mentor is not the best way to go about it. I fou

If it's worth that much to you, then you can go through a broker service like Sedo.com to get a bid in to the owner of the domain. Let them do the work of finding and contacting the owner. I've used brokers several times and find it to be w

Great looking themes. Categories would be nice. For example, I would love to browse through the Admin/Dashboard themes without having to look at all of the other themes in the gallery.

I imagine Glass will handily compete, collaborate or compliment the GoPro market. GoPro are in a lot of major retail outlets on and offline. Glass would be perfect right next to a GoPro. Not only that, but I'm sure they will get more lightw
