I was watching an interview with Yayo and I didn’t realize until then that even a friendly greeting with someone that had beef with your in-group was considered a deep betrayal.
Yeah I think the point is that if you are using it as a sales channel then you should measure it closely because it probably isn't doing as well as you think. Social media is just an extension of customer support in its most effective use case. You can see Lucidchart responds to customer questions via twitter for example.
ditto. There are huge problems in filtering authority with such a massive source of real-time information that is so easily gamed. The barrier to tweeting a link is magnitudes easier than putting up a new webpage. I would argue that the only real value they are getting currently is rel="author" information with plans for giving value to other signals later. I really think the SEO hype about social media is an extension of the hype the article talks about.
If there were any compelling counterexamples, they would already be touting them already. Glad someone is calling out the emperor for wearing no clothes. Hope this idea gets traction.
Thanks for the tips. Wordpress was being extremely uncooperative. Wasn't parsing <pre> or <code> properly. I will throw that .js script up on the next release. Thanks!
Price change is not fundamental to economics. It is fundamental to a post-Fed inflationary policy that seeks for a low (or at least a consistent) unemployment rate. That being said I think this is a great case study of "menu costs" on steriods.
My skills are a little rough and this is probably more than a company can devote to a browser war study but it would be interesting to see this benchmark run multiple times or as a Monte Carlo simulation.
Also - does anyone know what core runs at 50% in IE even when the user is idle? Not surprised to hear it but curious if anyone knows what it is.
I found it to be an interesting read.
