Almost no one
Seth Godin's Blog on marketing, tribes and respect1 Feb 2015 | 2:00 amThere's a huge difference between "no one" and "almost no one". Almost no one is going to hire you. Almost no one is going to become a true fan. Almost no one is going to tell someone else about your work. Almost no one is going to push you to make your work ever better. If only 1% of the US population steps up, that's 3,000,000 people in the category of "almost no one." If only one out of 10,000 internet users engages with you, that's still hundreds of thousands of people. The chances that everyone is going to applaud you, never mind even become aware you exist, are virtually nil. Most…

And they spend a huge amount of time sorting and ranking and evaluating to get to the final list. They do this even though there is zero correlation between the students they like the most and any measurable outcomes. The person they let in off…

Going from a Blog to a Vlog: What the Big Companies Can Teach Us
27 Jan 2015 | 6:31 amThis is a guest contribution from social media analyst Matthew Yeoman. The move online from only having a blog for your online marketing is, of course, one which has long since been abandoned. Brands now have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and on and on to promote their website and the blogs themselves. A trend towards video, with YouTube leading the way, has lead to the rise of the vlog as the next big thing in content marketing. Many of the biggest brands in the world are on YouTube. They are killing it with views, subscribers (there's a familiar term for bloggers), and brand exposure. -

29 Jan 2015 | 6:00 amLet's say you're choosing between three photography courses covering similar topics. The prices are stacked like this: $200 $250 $2,000 What's going through your mind right now? Curiosity floods your brain. Even if you're not sure you can afford the $2,000 course, you want to know why it's so expensive, compared to the other photography courses. If we were truly happy with lower prices, we would simply snap up the $200 workshop, right? We wouldn't so much as take a glance at the rest. But that's not how we're built as human beings.

Data Is Clear: To Be Effective at Content Marketing, Have a Documented Strategy
28 Jan 2015 | 6:00 amTalk is cheap. So it should come as no surprise that when it comes to content marketing strategy, simply talking about it is not enough. That is the big takeaway from the 2015 benchmarks, budgets, and trends study by Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, sponsored by our own Rainmaker Platform. According to the study, only 39 percent of B2B small business marketers have a documented content marketing strategy. The rest either have a strategy that they have only talked about (47 percent), have no strategy at all (12 percent), or are unsure (1 percent). Here's why this matters… -
How to Learn From Your Mistakes
27 Jan 2015 | 6:00 amEverybody makes mistakes. And everybody should make mistakes. They are unavoidable when we step outside of our comfort zones. Avoiding mistakes means avoiding growth. But we can't repeat our mistakes. We need to learn from them. When we do, we turn negatives into positives and move forward. When we don't, we simply run in place. In this episode of The Lede, Demian and I share personal stories of mistakes we've made — some big and some small — and how we learned from them, and we describe the thought process necessary to do so consistently. We discuss: Recovering… -
Trolls, Unkind Words, and How to Know You're on the Right Track
26 Jan 2015 | 6:00 amAt the end of the day, I just find your persona incredibly grating. Funny that I can still remember that comment word-for-word. It's from an unsubscribe note to my email list dating back at least seven years now. I heard lots of good things back then, too. I was helping people, sharing what I knew in a way that was useful to my (then tiny) audience. But I don't remember any of the good comments verbatim. Even back then, though, the note made me laugh. (Ruefully.) Because I knew that it was a signpost. A signal that I was headed in the right direction. The Internet is full of…

Improve your game of Go (or just keep playing) with this collection of apps
31 Jan 2015 | 5:00 amI've been playing Go, a grid-based strategy game that dates back thousands of years, for more than three decades, and it's a game I enjoy a great deal. Unlike chess, which is often an all-or-nothing game of attack and defense, Go is about slowly-evolving strategies to surround the largest territory on the board. Each player, black and white, alternates placing stones on a board with a 19-by-19 grid. Building up territory, where the opposing player cannot get a foothold, each player attempts to enlarge his or her territory, and thwart advances and invasions by the opponent.It's easy to… -

These Vine Kid videos are quite fun. Scanning through I found creative animations and artwork, and tons of pets engaging in humorous behavior. Tons.

Five Characteristics Of An Innovation
29 Jan 2015 | 6:16 amThe "diffusion of innovations" theory of communications expert and rural sociologist Everett Rogers attempts to identify and explain the factors that lead to people and groups adopting innovations (new ideas and technologies).

The diffusion of innovations is a complex process; design teams can use their knowledge of the theory to create a road map for how they will address critical factors in the design and marketing of their product.

Hands-On Review of the Revamped Adonit Jot Pro and Jot Mini Styluses
30 Jan 2015 | 2:02 pmApple has never shown much interest in styluses, even as companies like Samsung and Microsoft have embraced them as major selling points for smartphones and tablets. Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs even went as far as saying "If you see a stylus, they blew it," on one occasion, and at Macworld in 2007, he asked "Who wants a stylus? Nobody wants a stylus." Apple's focus on the fingertip as the best input method doesn't mean styluses are entirely pointless -- they can be useful for taking notes, making sketches, creating artwork, and in dozens of other situations. Luckily, Apple's disinterest in… -

This was definitely a hit at our little Super bowl party! Definitely would make it again...and I agree that the bean dip was great on it's own as well! I didn't have an issue with the oil amount.
I have made this 4 times and its been huge each time. The White beans by themselves are a great dip - in fact once I served it as a dip with the Shrimp to dip with and it was the 1st thing gone.
I followed this recipe to a "T", but it was just so-so and way too salty! Even after I cut them into bite size pieces, they just sat on the plate at our superbowl party and we ended up throwing them out. It was ALOT of work!
This was really, really good. Definitely a lot of work, but worth it. I (like some of the other reviewers) cut back on the oil a bit. Otherwise I made it per the recipe's instructions. For the chile sauce, I used a purchased Thai chile and garlic puree. Rave reviews from all!
This was very messy and hard for my guests to eat. Flavorful, but too intense for some. Despite these negatives, the bean puree is fantastic.
This was excellent despite that I used, OH HORRORS, dried basil. Had everything else in my pantry. Really good and there are additions of oil that can be skimped on. Bet it's even better with fresh basil.
This is an amazing appetizer! I did not use nearly as much oil as the recipe recommended and I probably could have used even less, and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken. All in all, it's a great recipe that easy to make. I will definitely make it again soon!

500 Startups-Backed Evoz To Power British Telecom's Home And Connected Devices Offering
Given that Google just acquired connected device maker Nest for $3.2 billion, I'm sure plenty of others have now realised that this is the best evidence yet that the smart device space – especially in homes – is really starting to take off. So while plenty have speculated about this next wave there, others are capitalising on it. Read More
Evoz Lets You Monitor Your Babies From Anywhere In The World, Now In Open Beta
When I first wrote about Evoz's take on modern baby monitoring systems, many thought it was a hoax (which I suspect may have had something to do with the fact that I posted it on April Fools Day). But it's real, and I've actually tested it quite a few times since becoming a first-time dad three months ago. In short, Evoz lets parents use their iOS device and the Evoz baby… Read More
Evoz: Baby Monitoring 2.0 Comes Of Age
Very soon (as in: in the next few days), I'll become a father for the first time. And of course, as every existing parent seems to know, babies cost money. One of those unbearable things young parents need to purchase without further ado, is a baby monitoring system. Me and my wife already bought one, but while we were evaluating existing systems I couldn't help but notice that… Read More

On arrival in Nageezi, we will transfer to a school bus; the road into Chaco is rough and unpaved, and motor coaches are advised not to travel the road. A school bus company does most group transport into the Canyon. A bit bumpy, but it's the only way to get there!
Chaco Culture National Historical Park preserves one of North America's most significant and fascinating cultural and historic areas. Chaco was a major center of Ancestral Puebloan culture between 850 and 1150 CE. It was a hub of ceremony, trade, and administration for the prehistoric Four Corners area. It is remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial buildings.
To construct the buildings, along with the associated Chacoan roads, ramps, dams and mounds required a great deal of well-organized and skillful planning, designing, resource gathering and construction. The Chacoan people combined pre-planned architectural designs, astronomical alignments, geometry, landscaping, and engineering to create an ancient urban center of spectacular public architecture, one that amazes us a thousand years later.Lunch: Boxed lunchesAfternoon: Our exploration of Chaco Canyon continues for most of the afternoon, followed by departure for Farmington, New Mexico.Dinner: At a selected restaurantEvening: Hotel check-inLodging: Hampton InnMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves structures and artifacts of Ancestral Pueblo people from the 1100s through the 1200s.
Although it used to be considered a Chacoan outlier, recent research indicates it may have been the second Chacoan "capitol," established and occupied after the abandonment of Chaco Canyon in the 1150s.
Aztec itself was abandoned about 1275 CE, probably as a result of a prolonged drought. Some Southwestern archeologists believe the Chacoan "elites" then moved south and established Paquime, another immense site in northern Mexico.
The Aztec monument was established in 1923 with the excavation and reconstruction of Aztec West by Earl Morris and designated a World Heritage Site in 1987.
After leaving Aztec, we'll continue on to the Chimney Rock archaeological area.Lunch: Boxed lunches at Chimney RockAfternoon: After a hike at the Chimney Rock archaeological area, we'll go on to Mesa Verde National Park, where we'll check into the Far View Lodge.Dinner: At the LodgeEvening: Evening at leisureLodging: Far View LodgeMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
The culture represented at Mesa Verde reflects more than 700 years of history. From approximately 600 through 1300 CE. people lived and flourished in communities throughout the area, eventually building elaborate stone villages in the sheltered alcoves of the canyon walls.
Today, most people call these sheltered villages "cliff dwellings." The cliff dwellings represent the last 75 to 100 years of occupation at Mesa Verde.
In the late 1200s, within the span of one or two generations, they left their homes and moved away.
The archeological sites found in Mesa Verde are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States, offering visitors a look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people. Twenty-four Native American tribes in the southwest have an ancestral affiliation with the sites at Mesa Verde.Lunch: Lunch at the Far View Terrace CaféAfternoon: Continue exploring Mesa VerdeDinner: At the LodgeEvening: Evening at leisureLodging: Far View LodgeMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Multi-storied towers perched on canyon rims and balanced on boulders lead visitors to marvel at the skill and motivation of their builders.
Hovenweep is noted for its solitude and undeveloped, natural character. The Square Tower Group is the primary contact facility with a visitor center and interpretive trail.
Human habitation at Hovenweep dates to over 10,000 years ago when nomadic Paleoindians visited the Cajon Mesa to gather food and hunt game. These people used the area for centuries, following the seasonal weather patterns.Lunch: Boxed lunchesAfternoon: Bus departs for Cortez and hotel-check-in.Dinner: Nero's Restaurant in CortezEvening: Evening at leisureLodging: Baymont Inn and SuitesMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
At Canyon de Chelly, we'll drive along the north rim, stopping at overlooks along the way.
At the base of sheer red cliffs and in canyon wall caves are ruins of Indian villages built between 350 and 1300 CE.
Canyon de Chelly National Monument offers visitors the chance to learn about Southwestern Indian history from the earliest basketmakers to the Navajo Indians who live and farm here.Lunch: Holiday Inn in ChinleAfternoon: Excursion along the south rim of Canyon de Chelly, followed by hotel check-inDinner: Garcia's at the Holiday InnEvening: Evening at leisureLodging: Holiday Inn Canyon de ChellyMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This moderate hike of 2 1/2 miles is the only trail into the canyon, and will take approximately 2-3 hours.Lunch: At a selected restaurantAfternoon: Depart at 1:30 PM for return to Albuquerque, arriving at the hotel at about 6:00 PM.Dinner: At the hotelEvening: Program closing in our hotel meeting room. We'll share our experiences and exchange our farewells.Lodging: MCM Elegante HotelMeals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Internet Archaeology: Behold the Most Hilarious Abandoned Websites
- Thursday April 18, 2013
There are still some corners of the web that look like they're stuck in 1999 — and that's a good thing.
There are still some corners of the web that look like they're stuck in 1999 — and that's a good thing.
Fourth Wall Studios' latest immersive web series lets viewers place bets on who will live or die, just like the series' smart-ass narrators do. It's a fun way to play along with a show, and it's pulled off with some pretty cool tech. Director Rick Heinrichs lifts the curtain on some of the magic used to make "The Ledge," the first episode of The Gamblers.
The masterminds behind new web comedy Dirty Work know that viewers check their phones, monitor their e-mail and cruise Facebook while watching shows — in fact, they're counting on it. The dark comedy revolves around funny twenty-somethings who clean up bloody crime scenes in the middle of the night, but it's not a standard sitcom: Viewers watch Dirty Work on Fourth Wall's propriety website and, if they opt in, receive text messages, phone calls, e-mails and additional videos while they're tuned in.

CEJA Partners Massey Ferguson in Vision of the Future Event
Massey Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) is pleased to announce the full partnership of the European Council of Young Farmers at its Vision of the Future event in Beauvais, France, 19-29 August 2014.
The farm machinery manufacturer is already a key sponsor of CEJA, which represents around two million European young farmers, and is working closely with the group in support of a range of projects at international, regional and local level.
Joining CEJA President, Matteo Bartolini in speaking at Vision of the Future were CEJA Vice-Presidents, Paola del Castillo, Matthias Daun, Alan Jagoe, and Laurent Poirier who made presentations in their native languages to the variety of international audiences attending over the ten days of the event.
"Vision of the Future is a wonderful opportunity for CEJA to meet farmers and promote a greater understanding of our work in Europe," said Matteo Bartolini. "We are dedicated to the future of farming and the role of young people in its development. This event is a melting pot of new and innovative ideas, something which we relish as an organisation."
Commenting, Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Sales Engineering and Brand Development said: "We are delighted that CEJA is partnering us at our showcase event. The young generation is the engine of innovation and fully comprehends the value of change. This is the inspiration behind MF's partnership with CEJA – a relationship we hope to consolidate further into the future."
In his keynote speech on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), Matteo Bartolini said: "The reformed CAP 2014-2020 promises to be 'fairer', 'greener' and 'younger', and, for the first time in the history of the CAP, we had the introduction of a mandatory measure for all Member States targeted only at young farmers under the direct payments Pillar," he remarked.
"But our job is not done! We need to continue to find ways to assist young people to progress in agriculture. Young farmer numbers are still very low despite their increased productivity in comparison to older counterparts. Only 7.5% of European farmers are under the age of 35, and one third are over 65! We need to help young farmers to overcome the barriers of access to land, capital and credit and give wings to the ambitions of our young European entrepreneurs."
"Generational renewal has to be at the heart of public policies, as this is the only way to ensure sustainable food production and respond to increasing food demand in the future," said Matteo. "With its work, CEJA makes sure that the voice of young farmers is heard by all Brussels-based policy-makers and that young farmers are at the centre of discussions on future farming policy developments."
CEJA co-ordinates seminars, conferences, public debates and written reports, and directs the concerns of young farmers towards the European institutions.
A regular column from CEJA is published every month on the Massey Ferguson web site: www.masseyferguson.com
Cape North Adventure Visits Beauvais
In a further landmark on its epic journey, the MF 7624 Gold tractor stopped off in Beauvais on its return route back to Italy from Cape North.
The tractor and the two Italian adventurers Gianni Brovida and Leonardo Cavazzi were given a rapturous welcome by the people of Beauvais and the proud workers in AGCO's Beauvais factory as they lauded this magnificent effort… and all for a good cause, to help poor orphans in Africa.
Showing no signs of fatigue or discomfort, Gianni and Leonardo were welcomed by Thierry Lhotte, VP Sales and Marketing, Massey Ferguson – EAME together with the Deputy Mayor of Beauvais in the main square before attending a private function within the "Mairie".
The guys enjoyed a tour of the factory, where the MF 7624 was built only a few months ago, before setting off on the final leg of the journey back through France to Italy.
We wish these gallant adventurers well on their way back home!
A Big Smile from Massey Ferguson
Farmers of l'Oise region in Northern France created an impressive spectacle for the passing Tour de France competitors and their massive support and media entourage as they crossed l'Oise district near Beauvais on the 5th round of the world renowned cycle race.
"The objective was to create a giant dynamic smiley face" explains Xavier Arruego , Marketing Communications Manager " to put emphasis on the superb agricultural produce of the l'Oise region. As the main farm machinery manufacturer inBeauvais, the Oise district and the Picardie region, Massey Ferguson tractors were naturally selected to show the close association between the quality produce produced in l'Oise and the quality tractors built inBeauvais"
It is estimated that hundreds of millions of viewers globally who eagerly follow the race will have seen this proud display. The 26 tractors were even given an impressive official escort by motorcycle Gendarmes as they left the factory to take up their position ready for the event.
Now, we wish good luck to all the competitors as they speed their way across the rest of France.

Sterritt * This is a story about the on-and-off romance of a young man and woman over several years. Why don't they just settle down with each other and save us all 107 minutes? The movie never makes that clear. What's the point, except to allow Kutcher fans occasional peeks at the acting talent he usually keeps hidden?
Director: Andrew Douglas. With Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Philip Baker Hall, Rachel Nichols. (89 min.)
Sterritt *** Here's what happens when a good Long Island house goes bad. Not to mention a family, a baby sitter, and a doorknob with a mind of its own. This remake stays close to the eponymous 1979 horror movie it's based on, except for being precisely 10,000 times as scary.
Director: Alex Gibney. With Bethany McLean, various Enron executives, voice of Peter Coyote. (110 min.)
Sterritt **** Spellbinding documentary about the rise and fall of Enron, which aspired to be the world's leading business until it was sabotaged by its leaders' outrageous financial fraud. If you followed this scandal as it unfolded, you won't learn much new here. But as real-life stories go, this is as riveting - and as revealing about the dark side of American business - as they come.
Director: Bobby & Peter Farrelly. With Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Jason Spevack. (101 min.)
Staff *** Lindsey, a hard-working city woman, starts dating Ben, a sweetly attentive schoolteacher, during Boston's winter. Come spring, a different side of Ben emerges. The one devoted to the Red Sox with an obsessiveness - not to mention geekiness - matched only by costumed Trekkies at a sci-fi convention. Lindsey soon realizes that Ben is too wedded to the baseball team to ask her to marry him. A date movie that should appeal to both men and women, "Fever Pitch" uses gentle comedy to explore the nature of compromise in a relationship. By Stephen Humphries
Director: Kevin Rodney Sullivan. With Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher, Zoë Saldaña, Judith Scott. (106 min.)
