Casual Fridays

If you’re strongly involved in a church, you might be wondering how this new world of Cluetrain, word-of-mouth, and Web 2.0 affects the church body.
Bill Kinnon has written (and recorded) an excellent book addressing this topic, A Networked Conspiracy: Social Networks, the Church, and the Power of Collective Intelligence. Bill was kind enough to [...]

If you haven’t noticed, Kevin Carroll is blogging.
How’s that for asking and receiving?
If you’re not familiar with Kevin, he’s the author of Rules of the Red Rubber Ball. It’s a great book which Kevin appropriately dubs “the little brother to Orbiting the Giant Hairball.” Kevin also founded the Katalyst Consultancy after a varied [...]

So, we’re segueing into your book, Warriors, Workers, Whiners & Weasels and you have an accompanying blog with that, which is blog.warriorsandweasels.com. Can you tell me a little bit about the book?

Well, it’s a management philosophy that I’ve been working with for some time and thought I’d put it down on paper. Basically, what [...]

No, I’m not standing here with my hat in my hands.
But, if you’re wondering how you can help this blog be successful (as I know that is all you think about nowadays), here’s a few suggestions:
1. Join in on the discussion.
I have been hearing/reading this from a lot of people, “I read your blog every [...]

Update: Thanks to John Paul Micek’s advice, I’ve implemented some comment spam plugins.  I’m no longer moderating comments.
Lots of comment spam lately. For the sanctity (literally) of my blog, I’m moderating comments for the time being. Hopefully, we’ll get this remedied soon.
Thanks for your patience.

Well, I’m a day late in celebrating the first anniversary of Casual Fridays.
I have learned so much through the last year of blogging here. I hope you’ve found it beneficial to drop in each week. The next year will be much different and I’ll have some exciting news to share very soon about [...]

The #1 search term that brings people to this blog isn’t “branding” or “marketing.” Almost 3 times more popular than the #2 search term (casual fridays) is “dentyne-ism.”
I’ve never blogged about Dentyne or their Dentyne-isms. Paughnee Moore made a comment about them on my Talking Sauce post.
The interesting thing isn’t that I’m the [...]

I’ll be upgrading from WordPress 2.0 to 2.2 today. So, if you experience hiccups in your hopefully usually excellent Casual Friday experience, I ask for grace. Trackback spam is getting cumbersome.
Update:
You can now click on the header to return the main page of my blog. I’ve been trying to make that happen [...]

Antony is staying on top of AT&T’s apparent misrepresentation of services offered (or at the least inconsistent representation).

Check out Anthony’s post over at Names@Work to see how this one turned out.
Left hand (advertising) meet right hand (website). Apparently AT&T doesn’t go hand-in-hand with itself.
It appears AT&T (or their ad agency) is trying to attach [...]

For personal reasons, my blogging has been fairly light lately. So, I’d like to throw in an occasional non-Friday post.
Antony Van Couvering at Names@Work points out the inconsistent messages given between AT&T’s billboard and their website.
Do you still wonder why people don’t put much stock in what you say in YOUR advertising?
Sadly, two-faced advertisers [...]
