PT Barnum Gives Advice on Giving

Amplify’d from www.manifestyourlegacy.com

P. T. Barnum was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, showman and promoter of the 19th century.  He is probably best known for his quote, "There's a sucker born every minute."  But Barnum was a lot more complex than most people realize.  He became the first show business millionaire.  He created the Barnum & Bailey Circus and was a master at advertising and entertainment.  Despite the outrageous promotions he came up with, he knew that his success depended upon giving his customers their money's worth.

BE CHARITABLE

"Of course men should be charitable, because it is a duty and a pleasure. But even as a matter of policy, if you possess no higher incentive, you will find that the liberal man will command patronage, while the sordid, uncharitable miser will be avoided.Read more at www.manifestyourlegacy.com

Did I mention that Twitter is not about getting a lot of followers?

I've been sharing my thought on building a Twitter following since before the first book on Twitter, "Twitter Revolution" was written.

"The number of connection you have is NOT how you measure success on Twitter"

I've researched this. Tested it. Written many article on it and just did an AMP this morning from another magazine article I wrote call "How Did You Get So Many Followers on Twitter"

About 5 mins later I get a tweet from a friend asking what software to use to build his Twitter following.

My short answer: CONVERSATIONS

You can build your influence network when you use Twitter. Talk to people. Build relationships.

Need more proof. NYtimes feature the work of Northwestern students studying Twitter influence. Big lists don't result in a lot of influence.

"People think that just because you have a huge number of followers you may potentially be an influencer, and that is not the case," said Professor Alok Choudhary, the chair of the electrical engineering and computer science department at Northwestern University in Illinois.Read more at www.eecs.northwestern.edu

Twitter to Launch Free Real-time Analytics This Year

Amplify’d from gigaom.com

Twitter plans to roll out a free real-time analytics dashboard in the fourth quarter, said Ross Hoffman of the company’s business development team at a conference yesterday. Hoffman said Twitter would start a phased rollout of the dashboard to show users information about how their tweets are spreading and who is influential in their network. WebTrends caught the remark in a session at the Sports Marketing 2.0 Summit and cornered Hoffman for further deets.

Bono's anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its finances after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy.

The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6million in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).

The figures published by the New York Post also show that £5.1million went towards paying salaries. Read more at www.dailymail.co.uk

Will the Facebook "Not Now" Let us have more that 5000 followers?

I've turned down thousands of FB friends requests.. tried leaving them sit there and people started getting "Warren can't have more friends" notices so I've been playing with a PAGE (I really don't want "fans" I want conversations)

But redirecting people who want to network over to a page just seems rude. And not that easy to do in Facebook.

Now FB is sneaking in a "Not Now" option. I tried it and didn't know what to do with the resulting entry as a pending friend. Some poor guy got blocked from ever being my friend (sorry dude. Wish I had thought to write down your name)

For now, I'm going to try leaving as many in the "Not Now" category as I can.

Call Tracking Hot on Twitter.. Reading my blog reader of the day's blog Thanks @mongoosemetrics

@mongoosemetrics makes the technology needed to track from a web site to a phone call.

With all the talk we've been having about eliminating phone numbers, I paused for a moment when I saw people so dedicated to tracking phone calls...

Then it dawned on me.. when we make a Skype or Gmail call, it is trackable. @mongoosemetrics is helping us move to connecting with people rather than number.

All this from picking on blog reader to shower love on today.

And this was one of many posts featured on their blog... COOL!

Amplify’d from www.mongoosemetrics.com

Over the past couple of years, more and more people have begun using the social media site Twitter for obtaining information and connecting with others. In fact, news programs have even started to use people’s comments, or “tweets,” as sources for the latest stories. But perhaps what is most interesting to see is how Twitter has affected the ways of business around the world. For although it is mostly celebrities and sports figures that are grabbing headlines with tweets about their activities, many companies have also embraced this unique form of social media to connect with customers – often with great results.

Media Reports Media Not Being Used. Wonder how that will turn out?

Suppose we do a ban on all breathing to see whether people need that too.

Amplify’d from www.fastcompany.com

Central to our Influence Project is the examination of how we can use social media to influence others. But another important part of the project is to look at how we're influenced by social media. And that's exactly what Pennsylvania's Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is studying starting today. NPR reports that the university is implementing a week-long ban of social media for all students, which means no Facebook, no tweeting, no checking in on Foursquare.

New Idea From Old Media to Sell Content on the Web

Here's today's reason to laugh at old media.

Yet again, they've announced an new initiative to repackage their old ideas.

The flaw is that they keep going back to using the media to channel content. Consumer do not want channels, we want the content.

In old media (last century) you could make a fortune by finding a mass market channel to pump content through.

In this century, we have enough technology that we know we can get to the content without a middle man.

What the middle man to do?

Amplify’d from www.fastcompany.com

Ad Giant Thinks You'll Pay for Media Again With the Content Project

The Content Project (TCP) may change that. Developed by WPP, the world’s largest advertising firm, TCP is a scalable platform that will help content-providers share revenue from a pool of consumer payments. Rather than doling out $10/month to, say, the Wall Street Journal, users will be able to pay a single fee to TCP to gain access to a network of sites. Revenue will be shared among this network depending on usage.

“Our ambition is to create a network whereby we have a number of publishers agreeing to a common platform, so we could roll this out on a broader scale,” says general manager David Restrepo. “From a consumer perspective, you won’t need dozens of accounts at different places.” Read more at www.fastcompany.com

Will the Many Uses for Mobile Social Get Here Before We Get Bored

I was asked if I'm bored with @Foursquare yet. The idea being that sooner or later we'll stop and ask ourselves

"Why am I doing this?"

I've been asking that from the start. I install all sorts of things each day.. I'm a gadget geek, I want to keep up with the bleeding edge trends, and I pride myself on knowing how to use these tools before most people even know they exist.

The vast majority have me sign up, send an email with a confirmation, then start hitting my with updates one or more times a day. I go back a few times and usually block the emails after a few days and then the use drops off fast.

Facebook, Twitter, Ampify and Foursquare are tools that made it past the first month (many more are hanging around.. that's another post).

I have to admit that @Foursquare was a chore for me. A bad app on my old cell, and I was asking "What am I doing this for?" from the start.

Fast forward to a couple more phones, finding the web interface so I can always get on and finally happy with the Android version.

I've studied marketing using these apps and consider that it will be a great thing for business. I can also tell you about several ideas that will be great for consumers.. more than coupons and discounts... but ALL in the future (at least for me so far).

So why do I keep checking in?

Time for Phone Numbers to Die

Another well written take on the declining value of a phone number.

I just went through choosing a number.. the Google Voice interface for converting text and searching for cool numbers in any area code was fun for a few minutes, but I soon realized it was a complete waste of time.

After plugging the new number into a few webs sites, turning off an old line that get a few calls and was costing too much.. I'll likely forget what number I picked and just read the transcriptions that come in with the rest of my email.

I'm a big fan of phone, video, in person meetings or anything that builds a relationship.. old technology like a fixed position phone number needs to go away.

Sometimes you don’t speak to people on the phone for years, they change jobs, careers, etc, and their phone numbers change. Yes, there are solutions to all of this, but none are simple. But in this “age of the Internet”, why are we still so attached to these meaningless numbers?

Our phone and the cloud will know where we are.

FYI, I arrived at a Microsoft event early on September 11th, 2001. The hotel said they had no knowledge of anything scheduled. A few minutes later, I called the office an learned of "a bomb like back in 93"

A few days later, I called my Microsoft rep to find out if I'd had the date wrong.. They said "It was cancelled because of the terrorist attacks"

Funny, they had to have cancelled it BEFORE the planes hit.
