Same great Movable Type;now tih dash at Zemata

Corey showed me the list of the most popular Wikipedia articles.

It's insane. It makes no sense. It has rock stars, dead dictators and body parts on it.

Huh? If you look at the top music of December, 1971, they're all songs you probably like. Pop music appeals to the masses, and the bestseller list was a fairly accurate indicator of what we were humming. All of us.

The way to understand lists that aren't vintage pop music is this: it isn't one list. It's four or five, mushed together. You have the list of rock acts, overlaid with the list of comic book heroes, etc. There isn't one person (at least I hope not) who's interested in all of these articles.

Seen like that, you can underst

Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker takes the inevitable unboxing journey

Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker takes the inevitable unboxing journey: "Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker conjured up all sorts of love and hate-filled emotions when we toyed with it earlier this month, but for fans of unorthodox handhelds, minor details like a wonky optical pad and frail keys aren't apt to put a damper on the excitement found in this moment. The cool kids over at Pocketables were able to procure a unit over the weekend from Japan (right on cue, might we add), and predictably, they've broken out the camera in order to let you relive the unboxing experience and see it side-by-side with a UMID mbook M1. The read link folks, that's where it's at."

Web-Wide Data

Web-Wide Data: "When visiting and interacting with websites we share important data about ourselves: Netflix knows some movies I watch, Amazon knows some books I read, and Last.fm knows some music I listen to.

While this data enables these services to provide additional value - Amazon suggests books; Last.fm notifies me of concerts - there’s two major issues: (i) the data is not accessible by the user; (ii) the data is site-centric.

For example, despite Netflix knowing some movies I watch, they don’t know about my movie activity across other sites. And there’s no easy way for me to let them know.

Therein lies the problem to site-centric datasets that aren’t user controlled: each site represents a fraction of our total web activity within a given vertical. Increasingly our interactions within a vertical are web-wide. For movies, we read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, watch trailers on Apple, buy tickets on Fandango, rent from Netflix, and buy discs from Amazon."

Leopold Bloom on Get Glue

Leopold Bloom on Get Glue

Leopold Bloom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leopold Bloom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Leopold Bloom is the fictional protagonist and antihero[1] of James Joyce's novel Ulysses, assuming the role of the 'Odysseus' character. Like the Greek hero in The Odyssey, he is absent at the beginning of the story, and does not feature until episode four of the novel (itself the opening episode of part two). Joyce introduces Bloom to the reader with the distinctive (and now semi-famous) words:

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Born in 1866, Bloom is the only son of Rudolf Virág (a Hungarian from Szombathely who emigrated to Ireland, converted from Judaism to Protestantism, changed his name to Rudolph Bloom and later committed suicide), and of Ellen Higgins, an Irish Protestant. They lived in Clanbrassil Street, Portobello. He married Marion (Molly) Tweedy on 8 October 1888. The couple have one daughter, Millicent (Milly), born in 1889; their son Rudolph (Rudy), born in December 1893, died after eleven days. The family live at 7 Eccles Street in Dublin.

Ulysses focuses primarily on Bloom and on the contemporary odyssey he embarks upon through Dublin over the course of the single day of 16 June 1904, and the various types of people and themes he encounters (although episodes 1 to 3, as well as 9 and to a lesser extent 7, concentrate more on Stephen Dedalus, who in the plan of the book represents the Telemachus to Bloom's Odysseus). Joyce aficionados celebrate 16 June as 'Bloomsday'.

As he goes about his day, Bloom's thoughts primarily portray him as somewhat preoccupied with the affair between Molly and her manager (Hugh 'Blazes' Boylan); and, prompted by the funeral of friend Paddy Dignam, the death of his child, Rudy. His absence of a son may be what leads him to take a shine to Stephen, whom he goes out of his way to take care of in the book's latter episodes, rescuing him from a brothel, walking him back to his own house and even offering him a place there to study and work. Also encountered are his sometime chauvinistic attitudes, his penchant for voyeurism and his unfaithful epistolary alter ego, 'Henry Flower'. Bloom detests violence, and his relative indifference to Irish nationalism leads to disputes with some of his peers (most notably 'the Citizen' in the Cyclops chapter).
[edit] Elsewhere in popular culture

Writer-director Mel Brooks adopted the name 'Leo Bloom' for the mousy accountant in his film/musical The Producers. Leo is a nervous accountant, prone to panic attacks and who keeps a security blanket to calm himself. Nevertheless it is Leo who has the idea of how to make money from a failed play.

Former Pink Floyd bandmate Roger Waters references Leopold Bloom in his song 'Flickering Flame' as sitting with Molly Malone.

It has also been suggested by Jeffrey Meyer in 'Orwell's Apocalypse: Coming Up For Air, Modern Fiction Studies' that George Orwell's primary character George Bowling in 'Coming Up For Air' was modelled on Leopold Bloom.

MarshalSandler.com » Repositioning The Traditional Advertising & Marketing Agency In A Social Media Driven World

Audiences are skipping TV spots with their DVRs and  learning how to ignore ads on the web. Instead, they’re talking (bluntly) about products and brands on Twitter, chatting about them on Facebook and searching for the reviews and opinions of other customers on Google before they buy. Armed with free, easy-to-use tools that allow them to ask trusted friends what they think or give an unsolicited opinion to hundreds in an instant – it’s word of mouth on fire. The truth is, as people are increasingly empowered by social media, marketers are losing control.

Some Brands are more Lijit than others.

Some Brands are more Lijit than others.: "The last few days I was in New York at the OMMA Global Conference. The OMMA Conference gathers Ad Industry experts to discuss where online advertising has been and where it’s going. This year, the title was “The New Socialism” and talked about how social media is often the key to engagement between brands and audiences. Of course, we already knew that. Lijit is based on engaging your readers with your Brand through all the social connections you have. It was fun to see Madison Avenue coming to the same conclusion.

There were lots of good panels including one entitled “The Mommy Bloggers - What It’s Like When Marketers Really, Really Want You”. That panel featured a couple of Lijit publishers and many thought-provoking insights.

OMMA was very interesting to me because lately, we have been approached by some major brands to help them reach very specific audiences within our publisher base. When there’s a convergence between a publisher’s audience and a Brand, we offer the opportunity to the publisher. Sometimes these are specific Ads within a publisher’s search results page, sometimes these are display campaigns that we offer to our publishers for the content pages, and sometimes they are cool interactive applications that run on the publisher’s site.

Of course, we only offer these opportunities to our publishers if they have expressed an interest in monetizing their site with us. We respect that many publishers simply want to deliver a great experience for their readers and monetizing is not important. For those that are interested, major brands are looking for audiences like yours, and we talk with them every day.

If you’re a Lijit publisher and have not heard from us about a specific opportunity, it’s most likely that we haven’t found the right opportunity for you yet. If you are interested in hearing more, please send us a note. If not - no problem, we want to make sure we are the best solution in helping your readers effectively connect with your Brand!

Time to be Frank » Blog Archive » Land of the Misfit Toys

Time to be Frank » Blog Archive » Land of the Misfit Toys: "I tend not to post when I have a lot on my mind that I am trying to work through. Sometimes it may be personal, other times work or even career. In the past few years I have had a lot of new things happening in my life that cause me to ponder many things, especially about the future. Recently I have been thinking about my own career path and what it all means. Social media has added an interesting realm to my life and I am not going to say it hasn’t brought struggles too. I strive to be as open as possible with things, but sometimes you have to come to conclusions on your own.

I love leading the way, whether it be with a team or a movement for Customer Service. I never strive for the status quo, especially with work. We all need to continually evolve our abilities and companies need to broaden their horizons to meet an ever changing Customer. My style is not playing politics but instead concentrating on the Customer story and what is in front of me at the time. Sometimes in doing this people that are close to the process work off of their own historical information. I am lucky to work with many that have great experience in the cable and telecommunications industry; I learn a lot from them every day. My background is financial services, which provides more of an outsider view. Sometime this makes me feel like a misfit.

I talk to many businesses regarding their efforts in social media. In fact I have been approached by many companies about helping them build their efforts. Most companies channel their social media through marketing or PR. It is funny the reaction I receive when I tell them that I am just a simple Customer Service guy. The marketers tend to be so stuck on the brand and sales, so they do not always see the community and relationship aspects in the space. I have many friends in marketing that have built a similar view as mine, but they are already successful in the space. Some in PR concentrate on the message as opposed to the relationship. My view is this space is about the Customers, helping, listening and having conversations with them. So as I talk to these different companies I recognize what a misfit that I may be.

I then look at all my friends in social media and I realize how different we all are. It is these differences that make social media such a great place and a way to hear others perspectives. As I was sitting pondering recent events, my own place in life, and how we all connect, I started to realize we are all in this place of misfit toys creating a home for all to enjoy no matter who they are, what they have been through, or where they are heading. Being this misfit is a trophy we all carry because we are leading and doing things in a different manner. Whether we are doing this online, at work, or within our home life we are carving this new path. The misfit toys have found their home with each other."
