On Fishing (a picture in search of a metaphor)
"He May be Ok fishing on a small lake this early, but every year there are hoards of ice fishermen on Lake Erie who fall in, 4-wheeler & all. The Coast Guard is tired of rescuing them when they aren't supposed to be on the ice - before it's been cleared as safe by them (they get fined). It's like ice skating before the Park Rangers open it up - foolish. But the guy in the photo may have clearance. businessavante businessavante"Driving Business Results With Social Media
"Companies that don't listen (#1) to their own Social Media must not have researched it before jumping in - if they try to shout out their ads like TV commercials, they aren't going to get positive results (they will manage to bug people, though). As basic as it is this report said 1/3rd didn't monitor it. businessavante "Who Said Business Telephone Systems Were Outmoded?
"Having just received "Get Smart" DVDs ('65-'70) for Christmas I'd say we still have a lot of catching-up to do. The 100+ phones in the show are of course ridiculous, but Max had some phones - including a tiny receiver - that make today's crop look pathetic by comparison. Literally anything was converted into a phone (not just the shoe phone everyone remembers), including a fire hydrant that squirted water on the Chief (Ed Platt) when he opened it. The cuffs of a jacket on a hanger, the ham sandwich speaker/potato chip mic phone, and "the old camera as a phone/phone as a camera bit" are but a few. (Even w/all that great technology, they never got the "Cone of Silence" to work properly - 'missed it by THAT MUCH!) businessavante"How a Sentiment Analysis Startup Profits By Checking Emotion in E-mail
"Fascinating...a computer program that "detects emotion" in typed messages. How is it at detecting satire, or hidden/masked emotions & hidden intentions? If they can make it correct/expose lies they'll really have something. businessavante"Entrepreneur Training Blog Comments are Still Actual - Entrepreneur Training for Entrepreneurs
