Exactly. Anyone who thinks they're smart enough to know if a candidate will be a perfect fit after a couple of hour-long interviews, a skills tests and even consensus amongst the team has obviously been promoted to their own special level o

I'm not that interested in your names and number if you cannot provide them publicly. Obviously, you seem to be somewhat upset at a person or group of persons related to one or more incubators and would rather champion your three favorites

So am I to understand that the new easy way to success in blog writing is to a) steal someone else's once-popular catchphrase b) avoid doing any real research or "naming names" c) asskiss those names whom you've actually become acquainted w

Were you to provide a matrix (4hr min @ $150 per, $1000/day, $4000/wk) you would also get paid for every hour you work but you would create opportunities in the client's mind where they could actually help you bill more hours.

The thing I like most about Ron Paul is that he's unelectable as a national candidate, he knows it, yet has fun on Reddit and the national stage every four years. The thing I like the least about Ron Paul is that some of his ideas are easil

Even if he's not sharing any of his ideas or extending any of his influences to his followers? Wes Welker signed up to Twitter a week ago (under his own brand/name) and now has 175K followers, all of whom presumably want to interact or at l

I wouldn't call the fifty thousand @paulg followers to be passive, exactly, as I see a lot of interaction and he only tweets about the business, nothing personal or news breaking. (I don't follow him on twitter, btw.) And aside from his per

You'd be surprised at the number of people who use Twitter for the sole purpose of following their favorite chelebrities, ergo interacting with brands. I'm going to put my toe in the water and assume the same applies to Facebook.

You're making the assumption that photographers are concerned about the same use cases as you are. Without addressing their need for using Flash, you cannot begin a conversation about why it's a horrible and obsolete choice, never mind prov

I don't think that without knowing why a given person will opt for Flash over conventional technologies, be it a photographer, restauranteur or auto manufacturer, it would be impossible to address a solution for them, never mind require the

Huh? Have you forgotten the GoDaddy shit-stirring that dominated the front page for a week with everyone under the Sun vowing to switch domains? So long ago, I know, but when the internet nerds focus their rage on a particular person or bra

As a Bostonian, I'm embarrassed. Not so much by the shit-talking, but more so by the horrible punctuation in his missives. I'd wager that he'd flunk a TOEFL.

That's too bad. I too found Plone's in-page editing to be a little too far beyond the reach of the average client, but then again, I used to send static website "versions" of a website on zip disks to a client in the mail. They knew not of

I've seen Thoughtbot do this with Copycopter ( https://copycopter.com/ ) as well as Plone and others. It's a great way to sell user-editing features to your clientele, but I would always start with actual copy prior to enabling it as real c

They'd be better off prefacing each statement with "We wish ..." as it would sound a lot more sincere. To be honest, the descriptions that stand out most to me are "we have X problem within Y context and we need a solution that will solve Z
