The disobedient Jews reproved. (1-10) Their utter ruin. (11-17) The people would be destroyed who sought the prophet's life. (18-23)
Verses 1-10 God never promised to bestow blessings on his rational creatures, while they persist in wilful disobedience. Pardon and acceptance are promised freely to all believers; but no man can be saved who does not obey the command of God to repent, to believe in Christ, to separate from sin and the world, to choose self-denial and newness of life. In general, men will hearken to those who speak of doctrines, promises, and privileges; but when duties are mentioned, they will not bend their ear.
Verses 11-17 Evil pursues sinners, and entangles them in snares, out of which they cannot free themselves. Now, in their distress, their many gods and many altars stand them in no stead. And those whose own prayers will not be heard, cannot expect benefit from the prayers of others. Their profession of religion shall prove of no use. When trouble came upon them, they made this their confidence, but God has rejected it. His altar shall yield them no satisfaction. The remembrance of God's former favours to them shall be no comfort under troubles; and his remembrance of them shall be no argument for their relief. Every sin against the Lord is a sin against ourselves, and so it will be found sooner or later.
Verses 18-23 The prophet Jeremiah tells much concerning himself, the times he lived in being very troublesome. Those of his own city plotted how they might cause his death. They thought to end his days, but he outlived most of his enemies; they thought to blast his memory, but it lives to this day, and will be blessed while time lasts. God knows all the secret designs of his and his people's enemies, and can, when he pleases, make them known. God's justice is a terror to the wicked, but a comfort to the godly. When we are wronged, we have a God to commit our cause to, and it is our duty to commit it to him. We should also look well to our own spirits, that we are not overcome with evil, but that by patient continuance in praying for our enemies, and in kindness to them, we may overcome evil with good.
Jeremiah 11:1-23 . EPITOME OF THE COVENANT FOUND IN THE TEMPLE IN JOSIAH'S REIGN. JUDAH'S REVOLT FROM IT, AND GOD'S CONSEQUENT WRATH.
2. this covenant--alluding to the book of the law ( Deuteronomy 31:26 ) found in the temple by Hilkiah the high priest, five years after Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office (2 Kings 22:8-23:25').
Hear ye--Others besides Jeremiah were to promulgate God's will to the people; it was the duty of the priests to read the law to them ( Malachi 2:7 ).
3. ( Deuteronomy 27:26 , Galatians 3:10 ).
4. in the day--that is, when. The Sinaitic covenant was made some time after the exodus, but the two events are so connected as to be viewed as one.
iron furnace--( Deuteronomy 4:20 , 1 Kings 8:51 ). "Furnace" expresses the searching ordeal; "iron," the long duration of it. The furnace was of earth, not of iron ( Psalms 12:6 ); a furnace, in heat and duration enough to melt even iron. God's deliverance of them from such an ordeal aggravates their present guilt.
do them--namely, the words of the covenant ( Jeremiah 11:3 ).
so, &c.--( Leviticus 26:3 Leviticus 26:12 ).
5. oath--( Psalms 105:9 Psalms 105:10 ).
a land flowing with milk and
as it is this day--These are the concluding words of God to the Israelites when formerly brought out of Egypt, "Obey . . . that I may at this time make good the promise I made to your fathers, to give," &c. [MAURER]. English Version makes the words apply to Jeremiah's time, "As ye know at this time, that God's promise has been fulfilled," namely, in Israel's acquisition of Canaan.
So be it--Hebrew, Amen. Taken from Deuteronomy 27:15-26 . Jeremiah hereby solemnly concurs in the justice of the curses pronounced there (see Jeremiah 11:3 ).
6. Jeremiah was to take a prophetic tour throughout Judah, to proclaim everywhere the denunciations in the book of the law found in the temple.
Hear . . . do--( Romans 2:13 , 1:22 ).
7. rising early--( Jeremiah 7:13 ).
8. imagination--rather, "stubbornness."
will bring--The words, "even unto this day" ( Jeremiah 11:7 ), confirm English Version rather than the rendering of ROSENMULLER: "I brought upon them."
words--threats ( Jeremiah 11:3 Deuteronomy 27:15-26 ).
9. conspiracy--a deliberate combination against God and against Josiah's reformation. Their idolatry is not the result of a hasty impulse ( Psalms 83:5 , Ezekiel 22:25 ).
11. cry unto me--contrasted with "cry unto the gods," ( Jeremiah 11:12 ).
not hearken--( Psalms 18:41 , Proverbs 1:28 , Isaiah 1:15 , Micah 3:4 ).
12. cry unto the gods . . . not save--( Deuteronomy 32:37 Deuteronomy 32:38 ). Compare this verse and beginning of Jeremiah 11:13 , Jeremiah 2:28 .
in the time of their trouble--that is, calamity ( Jeremiah 2:27 ).
13. shameful thing--Hebrew, "shame," namely, the idol, not merely shameful, but the essence of all that is shameful ( Jeremiah 3:24 , Hosea 9:10 ), which will bring shame and confusion on yourselves [CALVIN].
14. There is a climax of guilt which admits of no further intercessory prayer ( Exodus 32:10 , in the Chaldee version, "leave off praying"; Jeremiah 7:16 , 1 Samuel 16:1 , 15:35 , 1 John 5:16 ). Our mind should be at one with God in all that He is doing, even in the rejection of the reprobate.
for their trouble--on account of their trouble. Other manuscripts read, "in the time of their trouble" a gloss from Jeremiah 11:12 .
15. my beloved--My elect people, Judea; this aggravates their ingratitude ( Jeremiah 12:7 ).
lewdness with many--( Ezekiel 16:25 ). Rather, "that great (or, manifold) enormity"; literally, "the enormity, the manifold"; namely, their idolatry, which made their worship of God in the temple a mockery (compare Jeremiah 7:10 , Ezekiel 23:39 ) [HENDERSON].
holy flesh--( Haggai 2:12-14 , Titus 1:15 ), namely, the sacrifices, which, through the guilt of the Jews, were no longer holy, that is, acceptable to God. The sacrifices on which they relied will, therefore, no longer protect them. Judah is represented as a priest's wife, who, by adultery, has forfeited her share in the flesh of the sacrifices, and yet boasts of her prerogative at the very same time [HORSLEY].
when thou doest evil--literally, "when thy evil" (is at hand). PISCATOR translates, "When thy calamity is at hand (according to God's threats), thou gloriest" (against God, instead of humbling thyself). English Version is best (compare Proverbs 2:14 ).
16. called thy name--made thee.
olive--( Psalms 52:8 , Romans 11:17 ). The "olive" is chosen to represent the adoption of Judah by the free grace of God, as its oil is the image of richness (compare Psalms 23:5 , 104:15 ).
with . . . noise of . . . tumult--or, "at the noise," &c. namely, at the tumult of the invading army ( Isaiah 13:4 ) [MAURER]. Or, rather, "with the sound of a mighty voice," namely, that of God, that is, the thunder; thus there is no confusion of metaphors. The tree stricken with lightning has "fire kindled upon it, and the branches are broken," at one and the same time [HOUBIGANT].
17. that planted thee--( Jeremiah 2:21 , Isaiah 5:2 ).
against themselves--The sinner's sin is to his own hurt
18, 19. Jeremiah here digresses to notice the attempt on his life plotted by his townsmen of Anathoth. He had no suspicion of it, until Jehovah revealed it to him ( Jeremiah 12:6 ).
the Lord . . . thou--The change of person from the third to the second accords with the excited feelings of the prophet.
then--when I was in peril of my life.
their doings--those of the men of Anathoth. His thus alluding to them, before he has mentioned their name, is due to his excitement.
19. lamb--literally, a "pet lamb," such as the Jews often had in their houses, for their children to play with; and the Arabs still have ( 2 Samuel 12:3 ). His own familiar friends had plotted against the prophet. The language is exactly the same as that applied to Messiah ( Isaiah 53:7 ). Each prophet and patriarch exemplified in his own person some one feature or more in the manifold attributes and sufferings of the Messiah to come; just as the saints have done since His coming ( Galatians 2:20 , Philippians 3:10 , Colossians 1:24 ). This adapted both the more experimentally to testify of Christ.
devices--( Jeremiah 18:18 ).
tree with . . . fruit--literally, "in its fruit" or "food," that is, when it is in fruit. Proverbial, to express the destruction of cause and effect together. The man is the tree; his teaching, the fruit. Let us destroy the prophet and his prophecies; namely, those threatening destruction to the nation, which offended them. Compare Matthew 7:17 , which also refers to prophets and their doctrines.
20. triest . . . heart--( Revelation 2:23 ).
revealed--committed my cause. Jeremiah's wish for vengeance was not personal but ministerial, and accorded with God's purpose revealed to him against the enemies alike of God and of His servant ( Psalms 37:34 , 54:7 , 112:8 , 118:7 ).
21. Prophesy not--( Isaiah 30:10 , Amos 2:12 , Micah 2:6 ). If Jeremiah had not uttered his denunciatory predictions, they would not have plotted against him. None were more bitter than his own fellow townsmen. Compare the conduct of the Nazarites towards Jesus of Nazareth ( Luke 4:24-29 ).
22. The retribution of their intended murder shall be in kind; just as in Messiah's case ( Psalms 69:8-28 ).
23. ( Jeremiah 23:12 ).
the year of . . . visitation--The Septuagint translates, "in the year of their," &c., that is, at the time when I shall visit them in wrath. JEROME supports English Version. "Year" often means a determined time.

So that was quite an exciting Trade Deadline! (Phillies firesale did not include any designer handbags, sadly, but they sold pretty much everything else under the sun.) It was also quite a stressful one over here. I'm equal parts sad and relieved that it's over. Actually, three quarters relieved and only one quarter sad. It was starting to drive me crazy(er than I usually am, which is saying a lot).
The Giants went out and proved that we were all being unfair, ripping on Dennis O'Donnell, because he was absolutely right: Hunter Pence is on a plane to San Francisco and will be donning the orange and black tonight or tomorrow. Catching prospect Tommy Joseph and second-longest-tenured Giant Nate Schierholtz are heading to Cheesesteak Land—I mean, Philadelphia. I liked Schierholtz all along and am somewhat disappointed that he's leaving, especially when I was just figuring out who to spell his name, but he did request a trade and things between him and the Giants have obviously not been working for a long time now. Also, Hunter Pence is pretty awesome. After the initial shock wears off – and I know I've had a few days to get used to this idea, but when it comes down to it, trades always still surprise me – I think I'm happy with it. What are you all feeling, fellow Giants fans? Happy with this trade deadline?
Payroll is the one lingering concern, seeing as opinion is divided on whether or not this will impact the possibility of signing Melky to a long-term deal. Only time will tell on that, right? I'd be happy to donate my paltry savings or the Giants could hold some bake sales. If they start now, you know, they might have enough for a few Chipotle runs by the time the offseason rolls around.
Alternately, we could just take all the money that would be going into those guys and sign Scott Hairston. We'd probably be buying, oh, 90 wins right there because seriously, that guy proves himself to be more of a Giant-killer every time we face him. He had two homers last night, two. The sociologist in me really wants to disguise this Giants team as, say, the Dodgers and then have Hairston face 'em and see if he still does well, to demonstrate if it's a psychological thing or a physical thing. Of course, the Giants would know who they were, so that would kind of mess with the study because I would guess, that at this point, that they're a little psyched out by him. But still, it could a pretty fantastic study. Um, Bud Selig? If you ever have a down moment and want to organize this… after you, y'know, deal with unimportant things like the A's new stadium and expanded instant replay or whatever.
Anyway, last night's game might have felt like rock-bottom, in a season where there's a competition for that. (And yes, I'm aware that we're tied for first place. Many things have gone really well, but you can't deny there have been a lot of seriously down moments, too.) Eventually, the Giants lost their fifth in a row to the Mets – the Mets, peoples – with Eli Whiteside facing Manny Acosta, who is rocking a 10.30 ERA, in the 10th. That moment will go down in history. I can't quite decide who it was sadder for.
Tonight will be better, though, because there's no way it can't be, right? Things are even looking up for Acosta – his ERA is down to 10.25!

p.s. Gutted about the news that Neftali Feliz will be undergoing Tommy John surgery and obviously out for a good long while. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

As many of you know, I am here in NYC setting up for the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) where I will be showing the ENTIRE COCOCOZY Textiles collection to buyers, press, designers and anyone else who wants to stop by.
Fab COCOCOZY Associate Operations Manager KS (who loves the color pink) and I arrived early Thursday morning and have been running around ever since.
On the first day alone, we landed early morning, went to an awards luncheon, registered at the NYIGF and checked on logistics at our booth, somehow I ended up at a parent teacher night with my best of friend AM and then it was off to the Young Collectors night at the Winter Antique's Show at the Armory on the Upper East Side. The day culminated in a wonderful late night dinner at Il Gatto Pardo (one of my favorite NYC restaurants) with best of friend AM and her husband JE.
Anyhoooo...this is the second time I've been to the Winter Antique's Show and it is awesome! So much beautiful furniture and history in one place. I lost AM and her hubby JE for a bit and wandered through the booths taking in design, vintage and antique furnishings and more. Awesome.
Liz O'brien booth filled with vintage mid century classic furniture!(above) |
A vintage Billy Baldwin upholstered chair. (above) |
Love this antique Peruvian gilt wood antique mirror! (above) |
The highlight of the show for me was this booth below featuring antique wallpaper mounted on wood panels!
Carolle Thibault-Pomerantz booth with amazing antique wallpaper panels! (above and below) |
Readers, do you like antique pieces or everything new? Would you want any of the items highlighted above if offered to you?
Thank you Beryl for the invite to the show!
Well am off to another day of setting up the COCOCOZY booth. It is early Saturday morning now and am headed back to the Javits Center to figure out booth lighting with the electrician! Had a little hiccup at the show yesterday that I am trying to let go...trying not to sweat the small stuff but I woke up this morning sweating it...so I may have to address it today. Complicated story but have to learn to trust my instincts when something is not working for me. Details, details...the devil is in them!
Happy Saturday!
P.S. I also went to the Fashion Group International's Rising Star Awards luncheon on Thursday when I first arrived (took the red eye in from Los Angeles...flew coach...grrrrr....). I didn't win the award in my category but the event was amazing (see pictures below) - it was held at Cipriani midtown. One of the most exiciting moments was when I was asked to take a picture on the red carpet because I was an award finalist and then getting rushed off (kicked off) the red carpet so they could take pictures of fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger and his daughter Ally (brown hair below) who was also a finalist (she didn't win either). The winner of my category was a wonderful furniture designer named Joe Manus of Shiner International. We sat at the same table as Joe...he is so nice, his eco-friendly furniture is so cool and the award was well deserved. Congratulations Joe!

P.P.S. Fab Associate Operations Manager, KS (who loves the color pink) and I have been running around like chickens with no heads.We went by the New York International Gift fair on Thursday to pick up our badges and scope out our empty booth. So exciting arriving before set up...now we've just got to finish setting up!!
P.P.P.S. Did I mention I am staying with best of friend AM, her hubby JE and their darling booboops (my own made up word for cute kids) in their gorgeous Soho apartment? My sister DS is in town for a few nights too...so I stayed with her at Greenwich Hotel last night and we had a great dinner in the guest lounge area with KS. I love this hotel! I love the fact that my sister is in town too. Tomorrow, best of friend FF is coming to town with my other dear friend FM from New Orleans. I will also see A.Ro., JT, RK, CJ and so many other friends while here...many of whom are coming by the show!
P.P.P.P.S. Exciting times! :-)
P.P.P.P.P.S. Hope you have a spectacular Saturday!

Updated: September 29, 2013 12:04PM
After many farmers lost their entire crop in 2012 thanks to some freaky spring weather, the big story in 2013 is how well most trees have rebounded.
Some orchards opened in early August while others won't open until Labor Day or shortly thereafter. Most are ripe for the picking, just in time to take an apple for the teacher on the first day of school.
Here's a list of apple orchards. It's a good idea to call ahead to check on crop supply and ripening dates; plus rules on pets, strollers and wagons and payment policies.
ALL SEASONS ORCHARD: 14510 Illinois 176, Woodstock, Ill., (815) 338-5637, allseasonsorchard.com.
This family-run orchard offers more than 11,000 trees and 12 of the most popular varieties of apples and pears including the popular Honeycrisp variety. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturdays. The orchard opens Aug. 31 as does the corn maze and barnyard activities. Parking is free, credit cards are accepted.

America's Beauty Show (ABS), housed in McCormick Place March 9- 11, celebrated 90 years of the all-industry beauty phenomenon. All the best beauty and hair care brands are represented: Moroccanoil, Luxhair, Schwarzkopf, Stila, Nick Arrojo, Clairol, OPI and Repechage – to name a few.
Stepping onto the showroom floor at ABS is much like wandering into a venue housing a 24-hour dance marathon. Raucous music from several of the form a multi-layered 'soundtrack.' Men and women rush around, throw back shots of Five Hour Energy and admit they're "exhausted" and "haven't slept in forever," but their excitement is palpable and their energy contagious. There's a great feeling of camaraderie; that innate respect that practitioners of the same craft share even before individual personalities are assessed.
There's so much going on that almost no one wanders around willy-nilly. Rather, I spied dozens of people purposefully charting their course through the space with a map, pen and list of events. At any one time, there might be three runway shows, half a dozen workshops and 10 stylist demonstrations taking place. You might bump into major players like Ted Gibson or Ken Paves on hand for a presentation later in the evening. Here, these celebrity hair stylists are celebrities in and of themselves.

Discover Marketing
This is an interesting article on "new to me" marketing channel. Discovery marketing creats a "buzz team" of people willing to see things first, provide feedback and start the word of mouth train. I couldn't tell if the people receiving the goods are on a subscription or are receiving the goods free.
This idea of a "buzz team" isn't completely new. We created a team of trained reviewers when I was a Director of Ecommerce. Amazon has thousands fighting to be one of the top 1,000 reviewers because you get free books once that status is achieved.
Malcolm Gladwell discussed Mavens, Connectors and Salespeople in The Tipping Point. He also discussed how not everyone on your customer list is equal. Some have the ability to help DEFINE your messaging (Mavens), some can SPREAD the word (connectors) and some can help you WIN hearts and minds (Salespeople).
Discovery marketing is an interesting idea that, here I agree with Bazaar Voice, needs more study and thinking before it is ready for prime time, but may be all kinds of startup fodder in here.

Small Business Saturday
Our favorite Small Business Saturday is Moon Audio. (http://www.Moon-Audio.com). Moon Audio is home of #headphones with DRAGONS.
Dragons are Drew Baird's creation of better audio cable. Better audio cables mean great headphones like Fostex or Audeze sound amazing and good "cans" such as my Shure SE846s sound great.
We listen to so much music and depend on our earphones and headphones to shut out an increasingly noisy world, so #listenbetter is our motto and our friends at Cary, NC based Moon Audio make that possible.
If your headphones don't have dragons they don't sound as good as they could & that's why http://www.Moon-Audio.com is our choice for #smallbusinesssaturday. What about you? What small businesses did you support today?

The linked post is important, but not for the reasons they think. The post mentions the factoid that most people wouldn't mind if 73% of brands disappeared. The post discusses brands like Tom's who wins hearts and minds with cause marketing.
We love Tom's too. Yes, what you do with customer money is important these days. We prefer the Cone Communications (http://www.conecomm.com/ ) "social good" study that shows a growing trend. Consumers what to know how your STUFF helps change the world.
People don't BUY brands they JOIN them.
Faith Popcorn
Marketing guru Faith Popcorn's quote is a favorite. We would reposition the linked post toward the more important question - how is your brand creating sustainable community. Since most of http://www.Curagami.com customers are online merchants we would write the goal as, "How is your brand creating sustainable ONLINE community".
Online community is the secret to branding and engagement over time. We think of loyalty with two dimensions:
* Engagement over TIME (joining and visiting).
* Advocacy (willing to share with friends).
Every visitor can achieve #1, but a tiny % of your website's traffic will ever do #1 due to the 1:9:90 Rule. The 1:9:90 Rule explains the strange math of website visitors:
1% Contributors - 1% of your traffic will contribute content such as comments, reviews and the social shares such User Generated Content (UGC) generate.
9% Supporters - this group loves to share your content especially if it came from the 1%ers.
90% Readers - More important than their label makes them sound, Readders are the core of your visitors and so essential to SEO and your expanding web universe.
The trick to web marketing few discuss is converting that tribe of Contributors, Supporters and Readers into a sustainable online community. Branding creates the shorthand your Contributors and Supports use to ADVOCATE.
When you market by proxy, you are using Contributors and Supporters to reach their friends, you must encapsulate deep meaning into shareable "Made To Stick" bits and bytes. Your advocates can't share if your message is too complicated, so boil it down, mix it up and test, test and test some more. In there somewhere is the strange alchemy your brand needs to compel action (joining and advocating) and so win hearts, minds and loyalty.
BTW, I bent this post toward startups because every startup is tabula rasa when it comes to branding. Startups are blank slates written on by every piece of content, social share and tool created. We don't brand in order to create loyalty we win hearts, minds and loyalty in order to create brands and First Rule of Branding is what the linked post has backwards.
According to a survey, most people would not care if 73% of the brands would disappear!?
Share your latest experience on what your favorite brands are doing to earn your Loyalty, and ultimately your Advocacy?
It does start with earning your #trust.
Great insight @annettefranz @SDLjames with strong value connections @TOMS @USAA
Focus on encounters and experiences in stead of managing relations.
"Most people worldwide would not care if more than 73% of brand disappeared." So, are companies wasting their money on advertisements and marketing; since, most people won't care about weather the brand will disappeared or not?! People who have brand loyalty are supposed to care if the brand they are loyal to will be available or not on the future. Also would these people considered faithful to their brand if they don't care?
What are brands might been doing wrong with customers?
don't focus on the customersare not providing value relative to priceare not providing value relative to the competition/alternativeshave broken customers' trustdon't deliver on their promisesdon't care about customersdon't meet customer expectationsare not innovative (think "same old same old")deliver a fragmented or poor experienceWith all of these point, the relationship between them and their customers will be broken. Therefore, companies should focus more on their customers and design a good customer experience. Companies shouldn't only care about making money, they should also care and focus about being a part of something that matters to people and mean something to them.
Most of the article was asking questions and some questions didn't have answers in the article, they are open for general thinking and answering. It's interesting about how most people won't care if a brand disappeared on the future; for me I would! Of course life won't stop and new brands will enter the market. However, Some brands people got used to it and can's change that easily; the example of Apple. I also found it important about what they mentioned for customers relationship with the company. In my opinion, companies that focuses more on their relationship with their customers and making sure to build an experience with their customers are more successful than companies that focusses on making profits and increase their revenue. I a customer became loyal to a company and he had an experience with that company, he won't mind paying more on that company's goods. The reason is that the company had built a trust and an experience to that customer so he will be faithful and he would care about the brand and the company.

Crowdfunding Where BUZZ Lives In Time For the Holidays
Working on http://www.curagami.com taught us important content marketing lessons such as:
* Buzz is HARD to create by yourself.
* Want buzz? Go to where the BUZZ is and mashup.
* Crowdfunding is highly SOCIAL and very BUZZ worthy.
* Crazy Guy / Girl in basement is a compelling aspirational story.
That last bullet is where the moneyball lives. The reason crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter ROCK SEO and content marketing is great entrepreneurs share their cool ideas AND their social network. Platforms such as Kickstarter get to sit back and pick and choose what to help BLOW UP (or their algorithm does).
Here MoMA creates a curated content partnership with Kickstarter helping to add legitimacy to everyone's hand (for MoMA, Kickstarter and the projects curated into MoMA's holiday guide). What is stopping YOU from creating a similar partnership with a cool crowdfunding platform and featuring BUZZ worthy products you curate?
Answer: NOTHING other than the limitation of our merchandising imaginations and those boundaries should be few and far between :).M

Warren Buffet's Haiku Deck Lesson
One of the hardest web marketing lessons my former Direct Marketing bosses taught was to think Darwinian thoughts. I wanted to improve laggards.
Don't waste your time, came the advice and important digital marketing lesson, double down on winners. This wise lesson was just taught again by Warren Buffett.
Warren's Tips For Startups Haiku Deck has been on top of the 36 decks I've created. I started watching views by deck several months ago and my DM bosses lesson holds true.
Warren Buffett's Startup Tips (http://shar.es/10AbWU )
Buffett Gains: 878
Total Views: 8,100
% Gain: 12%
Social Media: It's A Conversation Stupid (http://shar.es/10AHlZ )
Gains: 1,915
Total Views: 6,297
% Gain: 44%
Once again Buffett proves the rich get richer.
This truth doesn't mean Social Media: Its A Conversation is unimportant. Knowing what is trending is a CSF (Critical Success Factor) for any web marketing team, but Buffett does prove Darwin was a web marketing pro long before there was a web. Double down on winners and leave laggards stands as one of the most important "laws" of our web marketing ecosystem :). M

Henry Copeland is a brilliant guy. His PullQuote app may be the most unknown cool tool out there. PullQuote allows you to grab a quote from a post and share it across your social nets.
Not unique....yet, but here is the rub - pull quote keeps an index of where the quote / tweet / Gplus post came from (link back to the very post and paragraph) AND you can see PullQuotes from friends.
PullQuote is such a cool tool I'm thinking of how to incorporate it into a friend's media startup. Always easier to mash something cool in than write it yourself.
Checkout Henry Copeland's PullQuote and see if you don't think is is the coolest unknown tool out there too:

Startups & Social Media (Marty Note)
Startups are so widget focused they often forget communication about their widget is just as important as creating the thing itself. Here are 15 "viral" social nets for 2015.
If you are going to spend a fraction of your time creating content and social marketing use the best tools. Several of these social nets are new to me and even though I believe setting out to create viral marketing is a fool's errand some of these "new to me" social nets look interesting.
I agree with the focus on VISUAL MARKETING this list implies too. Why is seeking to create viral marketing a "fool's errand"? Viral marketing HAPPENS. Trying to make viral marketing happen usually REDUCES your chances.
Best way to create viral marketing is to create great MARKETING or marketing that consistently earns more shares, likes and links.One day you will create something that goes BOOM and it will only be half a surprise.
They forgot one of my viral marketing faves - Scoop.it!
I like the linked post's ability to create a list of social nets rated by their viral marketing POTENTIAL:

10 Do's and Don'ts for startups
AGREE Become a NOWIST (watch Joy Ito's TED Talk http://www.ted.com/talks/joi_ito_want_to_innovate_become_a_now_ist?language=en
2. Be Flexible
AGREE and don't let anyone tell you "startups do it this way" they are full of it. Startups do it every way.
3. Don't imitate large companies.
AGREE small is the new BIG. Better to be nimble and fast these days. Trying to be something you are not is a fool's errand since everyone knows everything all the time.
4. Differentiation & USP Beat Innovation.
AGREE execution matters more than ideas no matter how sexy the idea.
5. No Org Chart Thinking.
AGREE, everyone needs to do everything all the time. Some roles and responsibilities need to be defined, but loosely so. Better to step on each other than create "not my table" thinking.
6. No Glam or Funky Titles
Agree, the Chief Party Hardy Man is dated and stupid. Don't go there and don't use big sounding titles. I prefer FOUNDER to CEO.
7. Don't evangelize repeatedly your vision and strategy.
DISAGREE STRONGLY This is strange advice. I wear my startups logo DAILY and will give our elevator pitch to strangers and it gets a little better each time. Once I can do our pitch in my sleep and see recognition instead of a thousand yard stare upon reception then I will slow down the pitching practice.
8. Don't look for extra skilled or over qualified personnel.
Agree there is no silver bullet and that includes people. If you get some massively talented guru level talent they will be too hard to work with in a startup environment. .
9. Don't set numerous, unclear or unrealistic objectives.
Agree - see point #1 about becoming a NOWIST.
10. Don't ignore the strength of the team.
Agree ad would add BECOME a team. You must be one for all and all for one with each member realizing and acting on the "sum of the parts is greater than the whole" idea. No I in team and that means sacrifice ego at the door of any startup. No one can do that 100% but TRY.
We sometimes spend too much time on we think we need to do and no time at all on what we don't need to do.

On "Charlie Rose," Deena Varshavskaya, founder and chief executive officer at Wanelo. The online social media app connects millions of consumer with some of the biggest brands, as well as the tiniest of independent boutiques.
Marty Note
Listening to WaNeLo's founder discuss her experience raising money and goals for her social shopping company made me realize I was listening to the sound of a clean slate brand. Wanelo is the first salvo in the "social shopping" wars sure to erupt.
Rose asks a good question, "Why won't Twitter and Facebook follow your lead?" They will and Deeena's best defense is a good offense. I signed up for Wanelo and its an intriguing play that couldn't exist without smart phones.
There's "mobile first" and then there is a company like Wanelo who is conceived and could only be possible with mobile. When Deena mentioned that more than 80% of their traffic is mobile my heart skipped a beat and I realized how clean slate this affiliate money play really is.
By mashing up retailers and accepting affiliate money Wanelo has to create a fun and exciting interface. They are about half way there. The way you create your store with swiping is cool and a #muststeal idea, but there is little more to recommend or hold interest currently.
Rose asked all the right questions about WHY and being first is a big recommendation, but not the only thing needed to survive. The UI is worth some money and their more than a million young followers are worth a lot too. Deena correctly locates the biggest challenge in today's market - getting people to love and interact with your content NOT mining or creating some unique Intellectual Property (IP) that can be protected and held over others.
Wanelo walks into social shopping, creates a "game console" using smart phones and will probably be adding gamification soon (if they are half as smart as they seem) and there is the first mover advantage. Important interview about the future of "social shopping".

Star Wars Saga. 91$ new on amazon 55 used.
- Everything needed to play any possibly conceivable setting.
- Cheaper.
- Simpler system that can be modified much easier if needed.
Fantasy Flight's system 180$ for all three core books. 60$ for one.
- With only one rule book you have nowhere near the content of saga.
- With 3 you still can't make and play all of the characters and archetypes as you can with saga.
- Complicated system that will only get bogged down and miss the point of Star Wars.
Now can someone tell me why the hell I would ever want to use FFG's system? It's not competitive from a market stand point. All of the stuff in the books? I know. I can go to wookieepedia and look up what I need to know for settings. Read novels to get me in the mood for hosting games of x genre. This is stuff the GM can do if he and the group want it. So why is it so necessary to split the rules up into 3 games? By the time the third book comes out errata/rules creep will be in full effect and converting from system to system will be fairly tedious affair. I need someone to shed some light on this. I love their Warhemmer 40k line, warts and all. But it offers things no one else does. Unfortunately this time they have a competitor of sorts, the previous edition. So far from what has initially been announced it's offering more for cheaper price. So I do have to ask again, why? I had so much faith in you FFG, and you take this route. The cheapest and laziest route possible to making a Star Wars rpg. *facepalm*
