: I think it is a brilliant move. This gives a human voice to the brand that consumers will appreciate. After all consumers eat the candy why not learn and interact directly with the people that spend the money on their product?

The boost in media attention is also brilliant. I think I'll go buy some Skittles now... I forgot that I like them.

: Whether you like Skittles or not it's absolutely clear that this brilliant marketing move has prompted thousands, if not millions of people to let their feelings be known. Maybe that's just called - jumping on the bandwagon!

: I'm glad to see you include lavender oil and valerian and lemon balm too. I have experience using wonderful therapeutic quality essential oils for sleep for pain, for soothing emotions and rambunctious kids...for helping bipolar people get off drugs. Wonderful oils!

: I have to say that this is outrageous! Fluoride is nothing more than rat poison! First they add it to the water and now to food. Good old EU for wanting to make the citizens sick so they can sell us more pills that we don't need.

: This is disturbing. I thought Europe was advanced in healthful products next to the US. It just goes to show you, no matter where food comes from you must read the label. Better to grow your own and be a good cook.

Good Free Cartoons for Your Blog Posts
Mar 10, 2009

Submitted by Heartsmart: Oh, I’m computer literate, I suppose. But no whiz, that’s for sure. Too old for that. I had been blogging for a long time when my buddy Charles Heflin looked at my blog one day and said, “You know, Richard … you ought to use graphics in your posts.” And in fact, I did know that. But I’m not a techie. (Read More)

: It is incomprehensible why those benefiting from taxpayers money to clean up the mess they created are not held accountable and are protected when ordinary folks are kicked out from their homes by the same banks when they are a few months in arrears...

: Not surprised. If all was clear then there be no reason to hide the truth. Acting like this just makes it even more suspicious. Hopefully one day the big ones will admit what they have done and accept the responsibilities. Hiding is easier than facing the truth.

: This tool worked pretty well as soon as I realized that it didn't want me to input the full URL. I had to eliminate the 'http://' part before it would run. It would be nice to put a little example text on the page or, even better, reprogram it so it doesn't care whether or not the 'http://' is included. The current situation where you get an error message with no explanation is disconcerting.

In any case, providing this seems like an effective marketing tactic. I may just have to copy it!

@rickdavis I guess it depends on what you were found for :) Many companies I work with can't even come up in the search results with their own names, but some do. You can try to change the content on your page, along with your meta data and see if that helps you over time. It works for me: do a search for "better marketing performance" :)

Could Wikipedia's Future Be as a Development Platform?
Feb 23, 2009

ReadWriteWeb Content creation at Wikipedia is slowing down. The already small number of active regular editors is on the decline and Jimmy Wales has called for live edits to be held for approval on many pages, a step sure to slow contributions even further. The tapering of fresh content doesn't have to mean Wikipedia's death, though. (Read More)

The tapering of fresh content doesn't have to mean Wikipedia's death, though. The site contains a gargantuan amount of human created and tended but largely machine readable and structured data. That's a potential gold mine in terms of a potential pay-off in innovation."
