It's a tough call on Twitter customer support: There's been some great success stories and campaigns (see:DELL), but you can't really do much more than help funnel people through your existing channels: "Sorry about your problem, e-mail sup

I've always wondered why there weren't some organizations that look for mass layoffs (whole divisions) and swoop in for a discounted business. Many divisions are individually profitable, but are a poor investment of capital so they have to

I absolutely agree with that, Jason. But I think rather then saying "I want to be with this company x years," possibly say "At some point, I want to move from x to a management position" or "I want to get a graduate degree in 3 to 4 years."

I don't think what Chris Dixon highlights here is exclusive to the startup world, but it's pretty close. A friend once gave 2 month's notice, then extended it to three after the boss begged him to stay, but as soon as he left he was a per

I'm a little skeptical of this advice, since there are two tracks in newspapers I see right now: Bunkering down and hoping for a savior (Bailouts! Strong copyright! Google!) and experimenting and hoping for a savior (Micropayments! Intern

Padmasree Warrior is scary smart and incredibly driven, and she definitely is a excellent, highly successful antidote to all the Steve-Jobs-is-an-asshole-you-should-be-too pieces floating around. Work hard, play hard, empower others: "I ca

A great rebuttal. Ad blocks are an obnoxious business condition, but they're one that can push savvy media companies into not only doing right by their readers but also finding higher CPM's than remnant ad networks that are being triaged by

Maybe it's just me, but the design strikes me as being very similar to PaidContent, a news site about ... the news industry. Ah well, it's about time we had a Romenesko 2.0.

Certifications are about as optional as they've always been: Some IT positions they're helpful for, particularly going into government work, but they're not a guaranteed path to success. A consultant I've worked with (as a journalist) in th

Great piece, and a great reminder that revolutionaries (in this case, Google) are often a bit out of sync with the local populations (in this case, beleaguered authors). That the Google book deal has made it this far alive still boggles me.

They are willing to do that: It's a large reason they acquired DoubleClick. But yes, this is one of the more promising areas of development for ad serving companies, privacy concerns aside. I recently moderated a panel where the panelists e

RSS never caught on among the masses like many hoped, and PuSH really doesn't address much of the usability concerns, as nice an upgrade as it is to bringing feeds to real time. Positioning PuSH as a "Twitter killer" I think forgets or igno

Good idea, particularly since it appears they got Mixergy's blessing, but I found one of the things refreshing about Mixergy was it does do is demand your full, sustained attention. After a few years of living in micro-media world, I've fou

Not approving apps that are going to break because they use private frameworks makes sense, but pulling a wide variety in one genre after they've been published and found a foothold just sucks. And while Apple has been "explicit" about not

Creative companies will be able to get a lot of mileage out of this in the future, but I think the early wins will be in the business and enterprise space. I've talked to companies that are getting a lot of traction, for example, by helping
