A snail climbs up the inside of a well at a pace of three inches a day, but when it sleeps at night it slides down two inches. How many days will it take to reach the top of a four-foot wall? Listen to: Milestones and Slime Trails Here I am, almost four years after

Be careful. You might be advertising an availability that you aren’t delivering upon, because public assumptions are changing. Dinner is Served I was getting ready to roll out of Tuscaloosa after my Tuesday afternoon presentation at the University of Alabama when I realized that I was going to be getting back long after dinner. I
Predictions About Predictions

Three-and-a-half years ago, I wrote a spoof about how analysis of mood and syntax on Twitter could be used to predict a woman’s likely moment of ovulation. A year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a piece about how Google was assembling a significant-enough chunk of content creation and distribution, it would have a prediction engine that could

If you were to poll the people in your industry, how many would know what Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are? Okay… now how many of those actually know what they do? Because the difference between knowing what something is and what it does is the difference between strategy and tactic. Mute 2 Here’s an example,

Often, big thoughts emerge from small coincidences. Interesting thoughts blossom when fed by two divergent influences, the intersections. I saw a pair of Tweets back to back today, and they got me thinking. .bbpBox27140549164 {background:url(http://s.twimg.com/a/1286563368/images/themes/theme1/bg.png) #C0DEED;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px

Fred Rogers said it best: So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day. Since we’re together we might as well say: Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won’t you be my neighbor? Neighbors are fantastic. There’s much appeal in moving up to a better neighborhood, where you have more room and better

My son brought a napkin home from school yesterday. It had a phone number on it. (I’ve blurred out some digits to protect the innocent.) The conversation that went along with it went something like this: “Mommy, can we call my friend?” Sure, dear… what is his name? “I forgot.” You don’t remember his name?

As long as people say, “Look! It’s a female blogger!” Females should be insulted. Â Kind of like saying, “Look! Â A dolphin that blogs! “
