Appearances to the contrary

by Bill on July 29, 2010

It would appear this blog is in abeyance but au contraire … I’ve actually written quite a few posts. Unfortunately, well-intended as they may have been, they kind of sucked. So they remain offline in the half-baked stage.

I had one, however, that wasn’t too bad but I decided that instead of a long, windy post I would do it as several shorter posts, likely to run next week. They’ll be a combination of observations and suggestions about small businesses online. I’ve been working with a number of small businesses recently and have found some common problems, many of which I think can be easily solved.

The posts I plan will likely come across as painfully obvious but I’ve found they are real problems. They are only obvious if you spend a good deal of time online. If you’re in your store or hitting the streets trying to make sales, you probably aren’t spending as much time online as some do, or perhaps not in the same way.

This week I’ve also been indulging myself with my other blog, Piddleville, and what I’m calling 20 movies (if you’re on Twitter, the hashtag is #20movies). It’s just movies I’m listing over the next four weeks, weekends excluded, that are movies I think are worth watching, or worth watching again if you’ve seen them already.

There is only one problem with it, though. As I go through it, I want to watch all the movies again. Now I’ll have to find the time to do that.

Respect customers and yourself

One of the themes that pops up frequently is respect, as in Seth Godin’s recent posting, Trust and Respect, Courage and Leadership. You [...]

This is what I have been doing

July 20, 2010 Blogs

It seems wrong to say I haven’t posted anything this week because I’ve been busy — it’s Tuesday! But in many ways this is more like Thursday to me since I spent the weekend working. And a lot of that work is in the half-baked stage. But some isn’t … Creative energy I have a [...]

Efficiency

“All life we work but work is a bore. If life’s for living, what’s living for?” – The Kinks – On a whim, I did a quick Google search for, “What is living for?” It didn’t have an answer. (It did, however, provide me a link to Wikipedia and an entry on sustainable living.) I [...]

Frequently, they use two or even three of the [...]

Listen to the silence and pay attention

July 12, 2010 People

Noise is a common complaint about social media. We often say there is too much worthless chatter. When we say this, we’re complaining about content. It’s of no value to us; it’s all noise. For people like myself who work in social media, we’re usually referring to the tsunami of tweets and posts and updates [...]

The world from our backyard

July 11, 2010 Poetry

Last week it was very hot and humid in New Brunswick. On Thursday, I decided to go into the backyard with the dog. The backyard has many flowers. More to the point, it has many trees and a good deal of shade. There are quite a few kinds of trees in the backyard, including a [...]
