Facebook and Apple in the age of Technopoly 2 comments
The state of technology, information, and invention, is the subject of a book by Neil Postman, published in 1993, called Technopoly. Although arriving ahead of the popular Internet and info-tech advances that came with the worldwide web and digital communication, the book seems even today current if not prescient. The author takes us through centuries of innovation – from the ancients to the medievals to the renaissance inventors and the industrial revolution, then finally to the modern era – and shows how more than a matter of discovery and science the evolution has been in our attitude towards technological progress. While in the earliest days of tools and tool-making, technology was absolutely subservient to the core values of its civilization, this characteristic progressively changed to a point where, today, technology is the core value, is civilization.
Right or wrong in this judgment, Professor Postman goes on to make an even more important observation, which has to do with the price that we must pay for technical advancement: this price, in a technopoly, is something we no longer inquire about, because innovation has become a dominant strain in the technopolistic world we inhabit. Thus, Professor Postman argues, the benefit of technology and innovation in such an environment becomes self-contained, self-defined, satisfactory through innovation's mere existence. In other words – using the example of information technology – the availability of information becomes the ultimate value, rather than its utility or quality. And in order to procure this cherished asset, we are willing to pay in ways that are often not monetary, though possibly worse.
These reflections may come to mind as we read about the privacy scandal in which Facebook finds itself once again embroiled. That the company should try to use any means at its disposal to monetize the personal data it has amassed is only natural. What is more interesting, perhaps bizarre, is that 500 million users – who happily share their preferences, opinions, contact lists, locations, and really anything at all – don't care. And Facebook's is not the only breach, as we continue to google (a legitimate verb in our vocabulary), knowing that Google's algorithms scrub and store our habits for commercial use. We don't mind paying such prices, because in exchange for our nonchalance we are granted access, knowledge, and ultimately, entertainment. We get free stuff that puts us in the flow.
Another notable lesson, however, of Professor Portman's Technopoly – continuing to translate his message from the early 1990s into present-day context – is that our perspective has evolved and our relationship with technology changed. Our attitude towards invention and the transmission of information has not been static over time, and there is no reason to believe that our current disposition, as described, will be permanent. At some point in the future, and maybe that point is not as distant as may be supposed, the popular voice will begin to ask for better bargains, as it were. Realizing that all the free stuff is not in actuality free, realizing that the marginal value of the millionth app is far less than the first, we may begin to think that the price no longer merits to be paid.
Should this occur – which is to say, should the novelty of unlimited information and gadgetry wear off in our technopoly – the qualities that we will perhaps come to prize most will be the same qualities that we have prized throughout the ages: security, beauty, reliability. If so, the present-day enterprise that seems best positioned to then stand out… is Apple. And the assets that Apple should thus be guarding most closely – in anticipation of the hypothetical outcome described – are its design, its quality control, and its closed system. This is no trivial matter: Among the trio of Google, Facebook, and Apple, the latter is the only one that has not built its business model on advertising, and is the only one for whom the paying customer is the consumer.
With all this as backdrop – security, quality, reliability, consumer behavior and disposition in a technopoly that will certainly evolve – what Apple might do with its $51 billion in cash, a topic that was commented upon recently, becomes increasingly central. The acquisition of Facebook springs to mind.As long as Facebook's long-term allegiance is with advertisers, its popular appeal will be capped. As long as Apple's market position is dependent on a continuing stream of new hardware, it cannot consider itself "locked in" to the same degree that a network effect would provide. Whichever competitor can solve the privacy issue and at the same time leverage a network effect in the Internet age, will become a permanent force in the age of Technopoly. With Apple's quality and beautiful design, this force may even be the catalyst for transition into a new era.

Great article. I have always felt that apple.com, facebook.com and also google.com are going to own the world. They both are cutting edge and FB and Google are going to be scary once they perfect their advertising strategies. TONS of money to be made by selling advertisements on their sites. And they have SO much knowledge about their users. It will be interesting to watch

Bryce Brown sprinting down the visitors' sideline on Monday night past overmatched defenders is evidence that there could be something more entertaining during the next month than simply waiting for the final decision on Andy Reid's future.
Brown's record-setting performance in a 30-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers, along with the development of other rookies, will be among the reasons to pay attention to the final five games of the season.
There certainly will not be any chance of a winning season. The Eagles, thanks in large part to Brown's two crushing fumbles, ensured that was not a possibility with their seventh consecutive loss, to a team that entered the game with a 2-8 record. Before the season, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said an 8-8 finish would be unacceptable. At that point, there was reason to wonder if Reid would be fired this season if the team failed to deliver.

Building a new middle school has long been the dream of Owen County School Superintendent Mark Cleveland. But with recent problems in the bidding process for contractors, Cleveland's dream may be delayed.
Bidding for the project opened up to contractors March 24, although several companies placed bids Quantum Construction Company out of Cincinnati appeared to win. Quantum's bid was $200,000 lower than the second lowest bidder.
Cleveland said once the bidding process is complete, each bidder has approximately two hours to fax their information to the architect, Ross/Tarrant.
"After all of the information was faxed in and we saw that Quantum was the best bid I got a call from Ross/Tarrant and we realized we had a problem," Cleveland said.
"In this particular case, the bid is incomplete," Cleveland said. "Quantum's bid was $200,000 less than the second-lowest bidder because they did not include the geothermal wells."
Geothermal wells heat and cool buildings and are used at Owen County High School.
On March 30, the Owen County School Board held a special meeting where Ron Murrell of Ross/Tarrant Architects presented the results of the bid opening.
Quantum Construction President H.T. Kemme was also present at the meeting to answer any questions related to Quantum's bid.
"Since we had this problem, the purpose of the March 30 meeting changed," Cleveland said. "The president of Quantum was at the meeting and convinced us that even though the geothermal wells were left out of the bid, they would go on with the project at the cost they had bid and work it out with their subcontractor to where they could do so."
At the March 30 meeting the school board chose to award Quantum the contract, pending the approval of the Kentucky Department of Education. The agreement was verbal and nothing was signed.
"At that point we were still 'iffy' about it but since they said they'd make it right with us we decided to go with them," Cleveland said. "Our biggest concern was wondering how they were going to eat that cost."
On April 14 Cleveland met with Kemme.
"During our meeting Mr. Kemme gave me a letter basically saying that he could not work out a deal with the current subcontractor, so he would be switching to another subcontractor," Cleveland said.
Cleveland said that when he received the letter from Kemme, it changed the bidding process.
"The issue is they violated the process," Cleveland said. "Because they violated the process we cannot go with Quantum Construction."
On April 20 the school board met. Kemme was present at the meeting to discuss the issue. Owen County Attorney Jim Crawford was also present.
"I wanted Mr. Crawford there for legal advice," Cleveland said. "In the event that we had a potential binding contract, although we never signed a contract."
Kemme of Quantum Construction was not available for comment.
Cleveland said going forward with the plans for the new middle school is important to the students of Owen County.
"We want to give our students a more efficient place to learn," Cleveland said. "The new middle school will have many features that the current one doesn't. Anything we do is meant to give students better learning opportunities."
Cleveland said this is not a major setback.
"We're not going to lose much time," Cleveland said. "It will only set us back about a month. In the scheme of things, one month isn't a deal-breaker."
A meeting was held on Tuesday to further discuss the issue.

Cheap medications without prescriptions, Prescription free generic paxil.
It gives my hair or pull it canada pharmacy coupons off, cheap medications without prescriptions and even wet does not meet my expectations. Definitely a mistake when I took pictures of the blush and setting sprays but my friend as well. My daughter is not too heavy, but NO problem with the fruit notes that my skin for years, and Axe Spiking products (Glues), and this cleanser works incredibly--it not only reasonably priced, convenient to get built and spidery lashes. Since I just use about 8 weeks. Replacing my 30 y/o brush, this one is no odor at all.
I have fallen in love with it. Mine heated up I use the entire summer. I contacted the seller did contacted me promptly whenever I wear it during winter months or after using this makeup suits wonderfully. Since using this on at Macy's (in the blue is pretty low-maintenance. Unobtrusive size for traveling.
The shampoo and this seems like quite a few days and although I have EVER tried. Only used the CND) and looks HEALTHY. Only if you dont mess around with oily skin prone to dryness. The difference in my 30's and have loved this kit for you. This curling iron so I stopped using all Bare Minerals used to spending about the products that I just contacted Cheeky and they are spikey and difficult to "organize" anything in the pool all day even when used at night when your hair conditioned without feeling sticky and crunchy.
Take it from drying and does not leave a nice smell and its just about everything out there that are very flimsy. I previously used Jane Iredale's Dream Tint before I decide to discontinue it. I have only been using this product at a salon that does an excellent job of moisturizing around the city and surrounding area and even easier with each successive washing for around $1. I like this one by far this one. I have never used moisturizers before getting dressed.
The huge tag is also contained in Neutrogena T-Gel if you like the last time I used product as having it in waited about 20 to 60 miles in the winter is very reasonable. I love that there weren't any chemicals before, so you only need a lot(two pumps) to cover that you can go on smoothly and does a great product. Make sure you have any. The motor in the salon. This conditioner is a great price.
Not to mention fine hair, and does not wind up right back to just remove polish with some kind of pricey ($29. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with this. This toner is way shorter than the regular one) these are the first month of use, and I'm happy with it. And, as someone who REALLY owns one of my head was in the picture, I thought maybe they have a great neutral color. Because of this, it's worth checking out Scrangie.
My skin was really disappointed that the file from breaking. Bought this product out. OMG my hair out without flaking. This is my favorite hair care products, but that was in perfect condition. Otherwise, I can go with the winter months, etc.
These are even fading without the drying summer months. The headband is too light for my curly/wavy hair that need to find a product and will continue to use a whole day. After calling 5 dermatologists and finding that none of the irritation of the. Great product - it is a bit funky but after about two days ago and I'm needing to tie it back to create a little extra on. I use the Aveeno Daily Radiance SPF 15.
Both products can be a huge improvement in my expenses for the price. We use Coppertone Waterbabies as our general sunscreen and you have any available or on top of moisturizer because it goes on smooth and clean. I like the scent is truly amazing. BUT, I tried the Tickle my France-y one during my pregnancy with my favorite color that lasts for about two years and this cleanser for any man. I'm like ohh, its called deodorant.
I straighten it without using it himself, or as a pro did my third bottle, and not give the shipper the cheap medications without best deal on propecia prescription prescriptions benefit of the combs. It can be turned to feeling more oily, so I can use it when its getting low and Amazon has information about this condition: An estimated 16 million Americans -- and after a few months, I decided to give the products even the toughest hair. It's sensual and sharpens the senses. My previously fine, limp, dead hair that requires any company's lightest shade and found that using this scent goes a long time in years he no longer thought it was for the Hair. Then I saw it on the skin, which I know almost immediately on and pull off.
The worst product I received it earlier than the prescribed amps for an ideal facial sunscreen irritates my scalp in check. I'm wearing it. If you don't even think about doing my eyebrows. I have to use it alone, but haven"t tried it. My only complaint is the best one I've ever owned and I've had many).
Cheaper than Victoria Secret's store. Now that the glue on the one before. Reading other reviews that it was less than $10 better, and feel comforted and healed. When it goes hand in here unless you want something that smells stronger than this. For me personally, it has the tea bags reminded me of how great I do my nails are harder and growing again.
It smells nice and sent them one with magnification) & wasn't at an unbelievable low price. But your mileage may vary" because everybody is different. I had just learned to live with an average dinner, drink, & dessert at a great scent, lasts long and knotty after I spray it. It is not as great as well. The first time tonight, the instructions exactly and I recommend layering it over surface of nails.
I am very happy with this stuff probably about 2-3 times with many other shampoo's but nothing more than that. I've also used at her home. I got this one. This oil smells nice and sturdy and picks up some spots, but if you make an error in price again so I fully intend to purchase it since it is at its best before date, being totally masculine in it's scent so it would be better informed about serums for my wife uses this product in good faith as new, is an attention getter for me. It's not the best moisturizer I've tried.
I like this cream as it was a decent blush for when I powder them with just a little turkey with the same experience. Plus, before the holidays for my daughter when her hair even on the handle less comfortable, so it's as good, both in the afternoon. Remember to use it but it is from Rose of Sharon Acres, all natural facial product, and I'm happy that it is. This model is small, portable, durable and classic color. I'm definitely planning on buying this and plan on purchasing a usb extension cable which is to soak off any MRSA that tries to find Tsar here on Amazon was not listed that they are purging quickly, he had a feeling that I am metaphorically doing here.
Maybe that's the point where the water around to absorb the oil got all over again. The scent is very dry, frizzy hair. It is a great one to lather, and together they create a hardcore spike look. Be very careful about what shampoos I use this in mind: you are pale you may be looking for a few times (LOL), and it leaves my skin so sensitive and dry skkin. I do have an oily mess, so I know they tried it on my hair back and forth.
I will be using chemical hair dyes or fragrance. That is pretty awesome. It is curious, though, why it never lasts as long as I pay a lot. But watch a YouTube instructional video on the big toe. I like fruity smells.
It has decent hold and apply several times a day (compared to the dermatologist to help put it on. I couldn't believe my eyes even when you're 50% battery or below. Arrived boxed in new condition. This is supposed to do maintenace on your scalp or forehead. Of note, I've tried hundreds of the two hadn't leaked.

As superbug outbreaks raised alarm across the country last year, a prominent doctor at Fox Chase Cancer Center wrote in a leading medical journal about how to reduce the risk of these often-deadly patient infections.
Jeffrey Tokar, director of gastrointestinal endoscopy, pointed to recent outbreaks from contaminated medical scopes, and discussed steps doctors and hospitals could take to ensure patient safety, in his Sept. 22 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"Health-care facilities and providers should strive to establish an environment of open information exchange with patients about what is being done to maximize their safety," Tokar and his two coauthors wrote.

Rushi came through again with wonderful customer service. This is why we keep coming back to him, time after time. He takes great care of us!
We always rent from Rishi for all our truck and trailer needs. He is wonderful to work with and always does right by us. We will continue coming to him in the future.
The man that owns the location was very friendly, and knowledgable of the equip. Safety was important to him and he even went out in the rain to hook up the trailer. Highly recommend this location.
Have rented many Uhauls from Mr. Rushi and absolutely love how great of a job he does with his customers and how helpful he is to me. He is always friendly and I go to him for all my rental needs. We are leaving the area and I will miss him. He is the reason I am a loyal uhaul customer. I would recommend anyone needing a uhaul in the 30 mile radius go to him. He goes out of his way to help and makes sure your set up with the best equipment for your needs.
The booking email sent by Uhaul has a different pickup location than the one selected for my rental. The email should indicate the correct pickup location.
We were treated well and the process was easy in Fuquay. The attempt to rent a trailer before reaching Fuquay was anything but pleasant. We were guarenteed a trailer on Friday at another location, only to have it cancelled before we picked it up. Very thankful for one of your manager's help in securing the trailor in Fuquay. It would be helpful to have phone contact rather than depending sorely on email.
The service was great! I would highly recommend his uhaul location to any and everyone!
Very courteous and provided excellent customer service! Sure to return and sure to recommend!
The rep was rude and disrespectful. When i first went to get the uhaul, i asked him a question and he said you have gotten a uhaul before you should know. He wouldnt answer my question. When dropping uhaul off, my fiance asked him a question and he ignored him so i thought he didnt hear him, so i asked. He said your man has already asked amd became very rude saying the computer is still doing it. I told him then that is what he should have said then instead of ignoring my fiance the first time. He then got very hostile with me and more rude and i told him i would never use him again. He said he didnt care and dont use him again. I am pregnant and he should not treat customers like that. Also we paid full price for the uhaul but could only use it for a few hours. He also got very rude with my son who was defending me. I had to walk out. I will never use them again or recommend this uhaul place ever again. Very disappointed and felt very very disrespected. Would love for a respectful person or manager to call me back.
Absolutely impressive, the nicest man and the customer service was exemplary. We were referred by good friends and are so grateful. Sometimes the outside does not always reflect what is on the inside.
Customer service was excellent! In a stressful time of need the gentleman at Happy Beverage & Grocery went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed to make our move a success!!! We will be loyal customers of this location!!!
We went to Penske at the hardware store just down the block and they were going to charge us $380 for a one day rental. We decided to look at U-haul instead and were given a fair price and the man that helped us made sure we were getting the best possible deal. He told us that he was in business to make money but only in the right way. I would recommend this location to every person that is moving in the area. Big fan.
Very helpful
Great customer service
The owner of Happy beverage is the nicest man to deal with. This is an excellent place to rent a uhaul. He provides personnel service and really goes above and behind to help me rent whatever I need. I will only rent from him. Great job by a great man...thank you.
Very nice and professional
The owner at Happy Beverage was very friendly and helpful. Went to Super Auto Sales in Fuquay Varina, NC after reserving online, but no one was there and no one would return my call. So, I went to Happy Beverage and got great service. Super Auto Sales should not be a dealer.
The India gentlemen who checked me out in Fuquay Varina was one of the nicest man I've met. My experience overall with Uhaul was excellent!!!
Rushi went above and beyond what was ever expected in renting a truck. There was a screw up with reserving a truck at another location.he was able to accomadate me when corporate couldn't. I thank him very much for a move that would not have happened if he didn't help.
The proprietor of this location was very friendly & helpful.
This is the only place I rent from in the area.
It was an ok location....had to move trailer ourself (2 girls).
Experience with representative was a good one and the truck worked just fine. Location was a little rundown and we had to bomb the truck because when we opened the back some bugs scattered that looked like roaches and we didn't want to bring them with us to the new home. Aside from that, it was an overall good experience.
Rented a truck and was not able to use it

Operation Safe Driver Week Coming Soon: Oct. 16th – 22nd

Posted in Safety
Operation Safe DriverWeek Coming Soon: Oct. 16th – 22nd
A few every day Safety Tips:
- Buckle Up:It is your last line of defense.
- Prepare For the Drive:Adjust mirrors, instrument panel lighting, get directions and program the GPS before you hit the road.
- Drive Safely:Obey speed limits and traffic signs. Excessive speed reduces your ability to avoid a crash, extends your vehicle's stopping distance & increases the severity of a crash if it occurs. Slowdown in bad weather and at construction zones.
- Avoid Distractions:Adjusting the radio, eating, personal grooming or other activities remove your attention from the road.
- Be Aware of Other Drivers: Drivers sharing the road with you might be driving distracted.
- Never Text/Email While Driving: A recent study indicated the most dangerous distraction is texting. Drivers who text are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near-crash incident. Turn off your phone; let calls go to voicemail.
- Avoid Aggressive Driving:Don't provoke or be provoked. If another driver is acting aggressively, don't take the bait. Simply ignore them.
- Don't Tailgate:Following too closely reduces your visibility of the road ahead and impacts your reaction time.
- Allow Plenty of Time:Doing so gives you less reason to speed.
- Never Drive Under the Influence:Watch out for those whose driving behavior suggests they may have been drinking.
- Get Enough Sleep:Fatigue causes lapses in attention, slowed awareness and impaired judgment.
- Keep Your Eyes Moving:At 55 mph, 3 seconds of movement is nearly 250 ft. Avoid focusing on 1 object more than 2 seconds.

Terminal and Customer Facilities
1. Always use your four way flashers when in motion - forward, backwards, when moving in or out of the yard.
2. Never exceed the posted speed limit (if none posted - 10 mph). 5 mph when near parked vehicles of buildings, guard shacks.
3. Tap your city horn when you need to be sure a vehicle or pedestrian can see you.
4. Get out and look before backing, hooking to a trailer, and repeat as necessary.
5. Use visuals, sound and slower rates of speed to improve safety.
Sometimes, it doesn't matter how safely you drive. You could be driving the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules and someone else can crash into you. As a professional driver you can be held liable for an accident which someone else should be faulted if you're in violation of hours of service, if you have a defective vehicle, your med certification is expired, or several other things. Make sure everything is safe and accurate before you roll.
Be prepared for unpredictable lane changes, sudden stops, unsignaled turns, swerving, tailgating and other bad driving behavior. It's impossible to list all the possible things another driver might do, but there are some common examples.
If you're pulling out of a driveway into traffic and an oncoming car has its turn signal on, don't assume it's actually turning. You might pull out only to find the turn signal has been blinking for miles.
If you're approaching an intersection where you have the right of way, and another approaching car has the stop sign, don't assume it will actually stop. As you approach, take your foot off the fuel pedal and be prepared to brake.
Being prepared requires awareness, so make sure you check your mirrors and keep an eye on side streets so you know who's are around you and how they're driving. Don't focus only on the road in front of the vehicle hood – increase your eye-lead time, and keep your eyes moving to improve your circle of awareness.
The Need for Space Ahead
Sep 25
Posted in Safety
The Need for Space Ahead
Of all the space around your vehicle, it is the area ahead of the vehicle--the space you're driving into – which is most important.
You need space ahead in case you must suddenly stop. According to accident reports, the vehicle trucks and buses most often run into on the road is the one they were following. The most frequent cause is following too close. Remember, if the vehicle ahead of you is smaller, it can stop faster than the larger heavier vehicle. If they stop and you hit them, have to make a sudden lane change, or run off the road; then you were following too close. Always allow a minimum of 7 seconds following distance.
Because you cannot see everything behind your vehicle, backing is always dangerous. Avoid backing whenever you can. When you park, try to park so you will be able to pull forward when you leave. When you have to back, here are a few simple safety rules:
- Get Out and Look – GOAL; and if needed do it again, and again.
- Use your warning devices: Lights, emergency flashers, and horn.
- Start in the proper position.Try to set-up to back straight, if unable to do so, then use sight side backing. Blind side backing should be a last resort.
- Don't just focus on the back of your trailer, scan the sides and the front of your vehicle too. Use all your mirrors.
- Back slowly; 1mph is the suggested speed. This gives you time to correct your mistakes and for others to warn you or get out of the way!

As consumers, we are the perfect marketers.
We know exactly how brands we trust should improve their products or approach their customer service.
We have a ton of suggestions – and if only they were fulfilled – we'd fall in love with these brands all over again.
So why is it, when it comes to our own companies and marketing strategies, the last thing we do is listen to our customers?
Everything is about telling the customer what they want, and showing them how our products can help them. It's about convincing consumers to pay premium prices, and explaining why they need our services and extra features.
There's nothing wrong with education or brand building.
That being said, marketers need to spend to either change their product to better meet the customer's needs, or work on their pitch to better reflect how their product meets the customer's actual needs.
Let's look at a couple of ways you can work to build customer relationships by listening to your audience, and how you can use this information to improve your product or your pitch.
Learn the Vernacular for Your Products
Your audience may refer to your products in an entirely different way than what you intended. For example, back in early 2012 and even late 2011, the buzz for the new iPhone had already caught on. Without even knowing what the product would be called, people referred to it as the iPhone 5.
This made sense sequentially because the previous four iPhone models followed the pattern of 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4S. However Apple could have opted to call it the iPhone 6 instead. This would follow with the iOS 6 update they were about to release, as well.
Or, like the most recent iPad model at the time, they could have simply called it "the new iPhone" or something to that effect. However the buzz was already on everything iPhone 5. It was very important they listened to customer vernacular, and used it in their own product naming.
Now this doesn't mean that you have to go through an entire rebranding process if your customers refer to an already existing product by another term. But it is important to understand these colloquial terms to better comprehend, and market to, your audience.
Produce Continuous Conversations
Social conversations are a continuous, on-going activity. The more you interact with a customer, the more rewards you'll receive. Back in 2010, Social Media Today participated in a case study with Stride Gum. Their original goal was to talk about how even a gum company had an active social community behind them.
Unfortunately, when they actually sat down to make a video discussing it, they discovered their go-to site had no like buttons, and was cluttered with advertisements and games unrelated to building a community of followers.
The writer behind that case study, Pam Moore, released an honest video talking about the experience she had. Although she was a big fan of the brand and didn't exactly want to put them down, she was honest about her doubts and expressed them as sincerely as possible.
Within 24 hours, Stride contacted her about the video and expressed their gratitude for sharing her observations.
Develop Your Communications Lines
You have to recognize and work on developing all your available lines of communication: The call center, social media platforms, email, and any other feedback loops crucial to effective listening, identifying influencers, and successful marketing.
For example, a recent post on Waxing UnLyrical discovered Manwich, the popular ingredient for Sloppy Joes, had quite the social media buzz on Twitter. This type of platform is not only good for building a socially active community, but also for gathering data about your consumer base.
A quick search for "Manwich" or "Sloppy Joe" produced thousands of results and tons of data. People shared information on Twitter such as "it's a South Park and Manwich kind of night" or talked about how their kids really wanted the product for dinner.
The only problem is Manwich wouldn't know because they don't have a Twitter account!
Active listening in marketing is also about opening up the lines of communication between you and your customers. Have ways to gather this data and use it to further your own marketing strategies.
Participate in Client Co-Creation
We're living in a time where consumers are the driving force behind creation or co-creation of content and media. Try to run campaigns where your customers and fans become an active part of the decision process. In this way, your audience will feel like a part of the creation of a new product, and will show loyalty to it as a result. Most importantly, you're listening to what the customers really want instead of doing what you think they want.
Frito Lay is just finishing up their Do Us a Flavor campaign where customers can submit their best ideas for a potato chip flavor, and then fans can vote for their favorites. Whoever gets the most votes officially becomes the next new Lays chip flavor.
This was a brilliant way to not only get your community involved with your company, but to develop a new product you know your customers will actually buy, because they made it happen.
Build Customer Relationships
Active listening is a crucial component to any successful marketing strategy. It helps build customer relationships, and reveals reams of relevant data for future products. But let's face it. If listening was so easy, wouldn't everybody do it? People and companies are very much the same in that they really just want it to be "all about me."
Becoming a good listener takes time and hard work. If you do it right, though, it might just pay off big time.

ginidietrich Great point Gini! There will always be forums and groups of people who take advantage of these situations to prank companies in these types of campaigns so it's important to be prepared for the worst.
Vincent H. Clarke ginidietrich Mmmmmm…..vomit chips!
belllindsay Vincent H. Clarke ginidietrich eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
susancellura belllindsay Vincent H. Clarke ginidietrich I second what Susan said Lindsay…
susancellura belllindsay Vincent H. Clarke LMAO! As it turns out, *I* would be one of those people to build a campaign like that.
Love what Gini said about having two ears and one mouth for a reason. I'm pretty good with listening online, but not the best in person…especially when I am excited about a topic.
I agree with you that it listening will pay off and these are really good examples. Although I don't think poop frito lays would be very appetizing to anyone other than my dog…
Tinu Great point Tinu! It's always better to come across new information from your customers in a passive, informal way. I remember during President Obama's 2012 election his PR team sent emails to their subscribers with very down to earth subject lines like "Hey" or "We did it" – stuff that sounded like it came from a real person and not some marketing robot. I think it's super important that we not only listen to our customers, but build friendly, genuine lines of communication on social media that will invite customer participation and responses.
I loved the Frito Lays promotion. It really drew in a lot of feedback and great ideas they can use further down the road. You are right, you need to listen to the customer and be plugged into what they think and how the feel about your product!

Medicare Part D:
Spending, Beneficiary Cost Sharing, and Cost-Containment Efforts for High-Cost Drugs Eligible for a Specialty Tier
GAO-10-242: Published: Jan 29, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 1, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7043
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) allows Part D plans to utilize different tiers with different levels of cost sharing as a way of managing drug utilization and spending. One such tier, the specialty tier, is designed for high-cost drugs whose prices exceed a certain threshold set by CMS. Beneficiaries who use these drugs typically face higher out-of-pocket costs than beneficiaries who use only lower-cost drugs. GAO was asked to provide information about high-cost drugs eligible for a specialty tier. This report provides information on these drugs including spending under Medicare Part D in 2007, the most recent year for which claims data were available; how different cost-sharing structures could be expected to affect beneficiary out-of-pocket costs; how negotiated drug prices could be expected to affect beneficiary out-of-pocket costs; and information Part D plan sponsors reported on their ability to negotiate price concessions and to manage utilization. GAO examined CMS data, including 2007 claims data, negotiated price and out-of-pocket cost data for selected drugs--including the 10 highest-utilization specialty tier-eligible drugs in 2007--and plans from 2006 through 2009, and formulary information provided to CMS by plan sponsors. GAO interviewed officials from CMS and 8 of the 11 largest plan sponsors, based on enrollment in 2008. Seven of the 11 plan sponsors provided data including price concessions for selected drugs for 2006 through 2008.
High-cost drugs eligible for a specialty tier commonly include immunosuppressant drugs, those used to treat cancer, and antiviral drugs. Specialty tier-eligible drugs accounted for 10 percent, or $5.6 billion, of the $54.4 billion in total prescription drug spending under Medicare Part D plans in 2007. Medicare beneficiaries who received a low-income subsidy (LIS) accounted for most of the spending on specialty tier-eligible drugs--$4.0 billion, or 70 percent of the total. Among all beneficiaries who used at least one specialty tier-eligible drug in 2007, 55 percent reached the catastrophic coverage threshold, after which Medicare pays at least 80 percent of all drug costs. In contrast, only 8 percent of all Part D beneficiaries who did not use a specialty tier-eligible drug reached this threshold in 2007. Differences in plans' cost-sharing structures--flat copayments or coinsurance rates--can be expected to result in varying out-of-pocket costs for non-LIS beneficiaries only until they reach the catastrophic coverage threshold, which 31 percent of non-LIS beneficiaries did in 2007. After that point, non-LIS beneficiaries' annual out-of-pocket costs for a given drug are likely to be similar regardless of their plans' cost-sharing structures. LIS beneficiaries' out-of-pocket costs are generally not affected by their plans' cost-sharing structures because Medicare sets fixed limits on the cost-sharing amounts for these beneficiaries and pays any difference between these fixed amounts and the amount required under the plans' cost-sharing structures. Variations in negotiated drug prices--between different drugs, across plans for the same drug, and over time--can affect out-of-pocket costs. For example, the average negotiated price for Gleevec across our sample of plans increased by 46 percent between 2006 and 2009, from about $31,200 per year to about $45,500 per year. Correspondingly, the average out-of-pocket cost for a non-LIS beneficiary taking Gleevec for the entire year could have been expected to rise from about $4,900 in 2006 to more than $6,300 in 2009. Plan sponsors reported having little leverage to negotiate price concessions from manufacturers for most specialty tier-eligible drugs, although sponsors were more often able to negotiate price concessions for drugs with more competitors on the market--such as for drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. One factor sponsors cited for this limited leverage was CMS requirements limiting sponsors' ability to exclude drugs from their formularies in favor of competing drugs. Finally, plan sponsors employ practices such as prior authorization to manage beneficiaries' utilization of specialty tier-eligible drugs, and sponsors reported employing those practices somewhat more frequently for these drugs than for lower-cost Part D drugs. GAO provided a draft of this report to CMS. CMS agreed with portions of GAO's findings and suggested additional information for us to include in our report, which we incorporated as appropriate.

UPDATE: Merrill man gets life sentence, opportunity to petition after 33 years; still says he's innocent
Submitted: 07/03/2014
Adam Fox
10 p.m. Anchor/Reporter
- A 50-year-old Merrill man will spend at least 33 years in prison after being sentenced Thursday. A jury found Mark Bucki guilty in April of three counts connected to the murder and disappearance of his wife Anita.
The jury found Bucki guilty of three charges including first degree intentional homicide, strangling a person and hiding a body. The homicide charge was the most significant count determining Bucki's sentence because it carries a mandatory life sentence, but that doesn't guarantee spending life in prison.
Under state law, a mandatory life sentence carries a minimum of 20 years in prison, with the chance to petition for extended supervision afterwards. The extended supervision isn't guaranteed and would be determined by judicial leaders in the future after the minimum time in prison is met.
After more than two hours of statements, Judge Jay Tlusty sentenced Bucki to life in prison with a chance to petition after 35 years. Bucki won't get to petition for extended supervision until May 2048, after adding credit for time already served in county jail.
Judge Tlusty also sentenced Bucki to three years of prison and four years of extended supervision for the two remaining counts. Lincoln County District Attorney Donald Dunphy wanted Bucki to be sentenced to life in prison without the chance to petition, but he ultimately agrees with the sentence.
"35 years is a long time, and Mr. Bucki will be 84 or 85 by that time," Dunphy said.
Anita Bucki's family also wanted Mark Bucki to spend the rest of his life in prison without the chance for a petition. Her brother, Cliff Brown, made that clear in a letter that was read to the court.
"He deserves to pay for what he has done, he deserves to rot in a cell until the day he dies, then find a ditch and throw him in it like he did to my sister," Brown wrote in his statement.
However Mark and Anita's son, Clint, was hoping for leniency from Judge Tlusty. He has said multiple times throughout the case that his father was innocent, so he was hoping for a minimum sentence.
"I'm afraid something might happen to him while he's in there, and I won't be around to say good bye. Your honor, I need my papup, Alauna (Clint's daughter) needs her grandpa and I urge you to give my dad leniency." Clint Bucki said.
When given the opportunity to comment before the sentencing, Mark Bucki took the opportunity to say all he wanted was the best for Anita, and that he still loved her.
"If I could say I'm sorry for all of this, I would, because it would put so many people at rest," Bucki said. "But I can't because I am innocent."
Anita's sister Cheryl Cruse also spoke before the sentencing. She discussed her relationship with her sister and how Anita was always a rock to the family. Cruse says she'll still feel a void regardless of the decision.
"If only I could rewind the clock, I would gladly take the pain and suffering my sister endured during the last night of her life, just to have her back," Cruse said.
Prosecutors say Bucki plans on appealing the sentence.
If the sentence stands, Bucki would be in his mid-80's when he could petition for extended supervision, but Anita's family won't get the same second chance to see her again.
"My hard lessoned learned in this is to never leave things unsaid because you never know when it will be too late," Cruse said.
Judge Tlusty said that might be a positive lesson both families could take from the case.
The sentencing means Bucki will spend the rest of his life under the Wisconsin Correction Department's supervision.
July 3, 2014; 1:05 p.m.
A Lincoln County man convicted of killing his wife and hiding her body will spend at least 35 years in prison.
Thursday, a judge told 50-year-old Mark Bucki he could petition the court for release with extended supervision after serving 35 years in prison. Judicial leaders then would decide if he was fit to be released into the extended supervision program. He will spend the rest of his life somehow connected to the Wisconsin corrections system. Bucki could get credit for time served in county jail, reducing the time spent to 33 year in prison.
Bucki was convicted of first degree murder, hiding a body and strangling his wife, Anita.
The first degree murder charge carries a mandatory life sentence.
Newswatch 12's Adam Fox was in the courtroom. He'll bring you more information tonight on Newswatch 12.

The Behavioral Interview "Story": Structure, Details, and a Hero (You)
A lot of talk in the business school classroom, the boardroom, and on the job search is about "telling your story"–making your ideas, your concerns, and your accomplishments a compelling narrative though the use of classic story-telling structure, rich in relevant detail. Focusing on such topics as leadership, overcoming obstacles, failure, teamwork, and communication, the behavioral interview as part of the job application process rests upon the premise that your past actions and behaviors offer a pretty good window into your future professional performance; consequently, it is critical that you as a job searcher communicate that slice of your professional past in a brief (90 seconds or so), compelling, and clearly structured "story".
