Creating a Shit Storm – The Next Marketing Wave?
"Jackie, Just cause I'm not participating doesn't mean I'm not reading. Great post though that shit-storm was actually a Category-5 Shit-Storm HURRICANE! I really appreciate your insight into the whole affair. It seems that in-your-face controversy marketing is a big thing though whether or not it went too far here is still up for debate.

"Braden, You are making me break my exile (temporarily) by posting my article. Thanks to all: Cindy: Your take in the fable is a very good one! Mine is that for many people it has become somewhat of an ego trip. Duncan: I think that once a month there should be a Twitter "Whittling day." Everybody should have to eliminate fifty percent of their lists. You are right not just about having a shitload of followers, there are also people who follow 200,000 others. There can be no relationship with those numbers. It's a silly game. Ofira, Shosh and B.G.: Thanks. Now back to my quite life in self-imposed exile...

"Tristan, Good introspective post. First of all, if I had a dime for every dumb thing I did in my life, I would be rich and not need to work anymore. We are humans and make mistakes. Secondly, yes, things did get very heated and I did lose my bearings a bit in my comments. I was pissed! So did others. Thirdly, I am not above being controversial in my writing. Pushing buttons and pushing the envelope can be a good thing. It fosters dialogue and gets conversation going. Fourth. I don't begrudge you for your post (not anymore...I'm over it). I don't think you are a bad person. I just think you made a REALLY bad choice. 66 years after the death of Hitler, it's still an open wound. Not just for Jews. For 21 million Russians, and millions of Americans, Brits, French, POWs, etc... I think the best litmus-test for a post is whether or not it opens wounds and has the ability to cause pain. Hitler definitely would fail that litmus-test. This was a good post. Introspection and soul-searching are a good thing. You are a heck of a writer and I will continue to read.

"Peter, You have proven that there is a great place for Social Media in construction. You have carved out a wonderful niche by making it fun to read and adventurous. Construction related SM can be about satire? Yup, you have proven it with some of the greatest posts I have read recently. It doesn't have to be about hammers, nails and two-by-fours. You are a great writer and thinker and kudos to you! Yoni"Small Business Owners and God: You are Well Taken Care of
"Ivan, I enjoyed the post. It is a struggle to come to terms sometimes with our success and failure in the realm of God. But, we must remember that as our Father in Heaven, all is for our own good. God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is "no." We must take what we receive with blessings and thanks and know that there is a good reason for the things we ask for but don't receive.

"Dearest commentors and respondents, Sorry about the delay in thanking you. We enjoyed a nice family outing to the lowest place on planet Earth yesterday, the Dead Sea, and were far out of contact of any internet...a blessing. My report on the Dead Sea. No signs of life...still quite dead. To all of the commentors: Duncan, Shosh, Braden, Shep, Ofira, Magpie, Ben, Ollie, BG and Portfolio....THANK YOU for your replies, insight and support. I don't like to do the group reply thing but I must leave in about fifteen minutes. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to pen your thoughts! Yoni"Subscribe
