How to Change the World: Looking for Mr. Goodtweet: How to Pick Up Followers on Twitter

Molly Fuller, President and Co-Founder of Hands On Gourmet submitted this blog post to the Innovative Marketing, PR, Word-Of-Mouth & Buzz Innovators Group on Linked In.

Not only was it well written, informative, and entertaining, but it also prompted a lengthy dinner discussion this weekend. :-)

I've started using the Company Buzz module on LinkedIn to follow random social tweets about companies of interest, as well as on a personal level to stay connected with close family and freinds.

The old question used to be "How does Twitter make money?"

The new question is "How can a scrappy company leverage Twitter to pique viral momentum?"

Universal symbol for Garage Sale signs

noreply@blogger.com (Amanda Thomas) — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 02:05:00 +0000

Tired of trying to squeeze the words “Garage Sale” into signs? I propose we get rid of all of the wording that goes into making a Garage Sale sign and adopt an icon like this instead, followed by a simple arrow, or 1 line of address information, and a date line.

The Da Vinci Delusion - American Family Association

noreply@blogger.com (Amanda Thomas) — Sat, 22 Apr 2006 14:17:00 +0000

The Da Vinci Delusion - American Family Association

The past release of the fictional book The DaVinci Code was an attack on the very foundation of the Christian faith, threatening to lead many to believe that Jesus was a fraud. Over 40 million copies of this book were sold. On May 19th, a blockbuster movie – The DaVinci Code – will open in theaters across America. While the book and movie claim to be based on fact, they clearly are not. To help provide you with a defense to these attacks, we will be presenting a series of programs on May 3, 10, 14 and 19. Please make plans to be in each of these services so you can be prepared for the inevitable onslaught of questions.

1-800-FREE-411 offers free directory assistance service.

noreply@blogger.com (Amanda Thomas) — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 13:37:00 +0000

Jingle Networks is providing an alternative directory assistance service — and it's free. Users who call the toll-free number 1-800-FREE411 (or 1-800-373-3411) can navigate a nifty automated voice recognition system that asks for a location (city and state), type of listing (business, government, or residential), and name. Once the service has located an entry for the requested number, it reads the information aloud and offers the caller the option of connecting to the number by pressing a single number on his telephone keypad. How can Free-411 afford to offer free directory assistance service? It works sort of like commercial radio or television — businesses pay to sponsor it in exchange for presenting their advertisements to customers. The funding of Free-411 is typically explained thusly:
The service is made possible by thousands of national and local businesses who sponsor this service with brief valuable audio advertisements that are played to callers who request businesses in their yellow pages category. This advertising model allows businesses to acquire new customers over the phone, cost effectively, with little or no risk. Meanwhile callers get free directory assistance, potentially saving each of them thousand of dollars per year. The way it works in practice is that a caller who requests a business number is first presented with a short (about 12 seconds) audio advertisement for a sponsor who operates a competing business in that area; the caller is then given the option of being connected to either that competitor or the business he originally requested. If no sponsor operates a local competing business, then the caller hears no advertisement at all. (In the latter case, if the caller accepts the option to connect to the desired number, the business receiving the call hears a short message at the beginning advising them that the call was placed via Free-411, and a Free-411 salesman may follow up with them a few days later to solicit them as a potential advertiser.) (Cell phone users concerned that taking advantage of the free directory assistance service will entail potentially giving out their cell phone numbers to telemarketers should note that federal law already prohibits certain types of telemarketing calls from being placed to cell phones, and all phone users can block telemarketing calls by listing their numbers with the national Do Not Call registry.)

Free-411 also offers directory assistance information via a free web site.

Built to Flip: "Are we committed to doing our work with unadulterated excellence, no matter how arduous the task or how long the road? Is our work likely to make a contribution that we can be proud of? Does our work provide us with a sense of purpose and meaning that goes beyond just making money?

If we cannot answer yes to those questions, then we're failing, no matter how much money we make. But if we can answer yes, then we're likely not only to attain financial success but also to gain that rarest of all achievements: a life that works."

FT.com / World / Asia-Pacific - Virus presents doctors with nightmare scenario

noreply@blogger.com (Amanda Thomas) — Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:17:00 +0000

In Indonesia a taxi driver develops a fever and dies, the latest victim of the virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu. His wife grows ill and also dies. So do his children. And within 10 days so do many of his passengers, victims of a newly mutated virus that has finally found an efficient way to leap among humans.

One of those unlucky passengers is a businessman heading to Jakarta's airport to fly home to Munich. On the first leg to Singapore he passes the virus on to an Australian grandmother sitting next to him and an Indian motorcycle magnate across the aisle.

All make it home. All die within days. Before they do though, they each pass it on to dozens of people in the beginning of a frightening chain of infections. Welcome to the global flu pandemic.

The scenario is, for the time being, fictional. It highlights, however, why there are increasing worries in Europe and the US about a recent surge of human cases in bird flu in south-east Asia, with Indonesia the latest battleground.

New Orleans myths: The numbers tell a different story

noreply@blogger.com (Amanda Thomas) — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 12:50:00 +0000

Amid the storm of controversy over Katrina's devestation, Richard Baehr presents a compelling refutation of the furious accusations against Bush, FEMA, and our National resources which are currently working to restore New Orleans.

Now facing forced removal from the city, I anticipate 10,000 residents who will publicly bite the hand that feeds them.

We need to focus our efforts on rebuilding lives, instead of pointing fingers and trying to incite drama to further self-interest and pufferey. There are those guised as heros who will continue to victimize our people when they are most vulnerable.
