Michael Kinsley suggested that President-elect Barack Obama may be fibbing about giving up cigarettes and said we should "offer him a light and look the other way" ["Let the Guy Smoke," op-ed, Nov. 20]. Mr. Kinsley may have said this in jest, but it's no joke that smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in this co (Read More)

About three weeks ago, Facebook and Twitter ended several weeks of serious talks, in which Facebook was offering to acquire Twitter for $500 million of its stock. While rumors of Facebook’s interest were brought up in an interview with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the Web 2.0 Summit a few weeks ago, some shot down (Read More)

: Every brand must do this, twitter is becoming the home of customer services.
Nov 11, 2008
: I don't agree that every Brand must do this. It depends where your customers are. If some of them are using places like this, then that's cool. However, we need to ensure that we don't create an underclass of poorly supported customers. Those people who don't use twitter, get satisfaction and other such tools and websites. We shouldn't force people to have to use these tools if they would rather pick up a phone, email or write. Brands need to talk with customers wherever they are and whomever they are, and treat them all equally. Remarkable Customer Service shouldn't just be for the social media elite.

: I agree with you that every brand should do this. Else why have a brand. Brands that go where the customers are and find NEW SOURCES of customers do such things as win Presidential Elections. Brands that don't, don't...

: Bleh, who cares. I like the idea of Cappuccinos but 4 bucks for a cup of coffee is ridiculous.The stupid part i that McDonalds is trying to follow this model with it's McCafe deal. Hey, McDs, looks tasty but it's too pricey for a bit of flavor added mostly hot water. Maybe they should halve all of their prices and see if they can drum up a new customer base.

There was an interesting discussion on socialmedian today regarding the daily "deadpool" and "layoff tracker" updates on sites like TechCrunch.It's sensationalist journalism. It's done just for ratings. It's counter productive. It's hyperbolic. And it's time for it to go. There's no need for it and no place for it.All (Read More)

: MORE FROM THE POST: This writer/startup CEO also wonders outloud if the new media websites/blogs (the TechCrunch's, ValleyWag's, etc.) of the world will be as transparent when they themselves go sideways, screw up, or god-forbid have to layoff some employees. They too are still figuring out their business models. And that's ok.I'd prefer we just change the tone entirely and focus on substance vs. getting ratings out necessary layoffs. In fact, I'd much rather read a thoughtful post by one of the editors of the new media websites/blogs on why they think tech startups should or should not tighten the belt right now. Lead that debate vs. encouraging the pile on. There are going to be A LOT of layoffs in the months ahead in startup land. We're just getting started on this. Let's get ahead of it and plan for resources for the laid-off. Take a leadership position in interviewing and highlighting companies who are hiring. Be part of the solution.

: @michaelfidler It’s a dog eat dog world sometimes and it’s even more transparent online. I believe if you give somebody enough rope, eventually they will use it.
Oct 24, 2008
: I think this echos what happens quite often in our culture--we build em up to tear them down. The failure of a company is like anything else, there are valuable lessons to be learned, but those lessons are extracted by a careful and measured postmortem--not via sensationalism and attention grabbing headlines on some blog.
