so I found a nice tutorial on how to do it... ok... it might have been nice if I knew stuff... but I know nothing... it was very hard to follow (it skipped things I "should" have known... but I did not know them)
this is how close ive gotten
so i have successfully added 6 new sprites (increasing the total from 153-159)
but I cant figure out how to edit just 1 sprite palette... it seems multiple sprites use the same palette and I cant find any blank palettes to fill with my new colors...
so does anyone know how to edit just 1 sprites palette?
Repoint the pallete table and expand it. This will need to be done with a hex editor.Then you can select your new palletes and edit them in NSE Classic or OWERE. (NSE is far better, same interface, just upgraded) You cam find the location of the pallete table in one of the ini files.
Each pallete is set-up like "pointer(4bytes)-pallete number(1byte, very important that they are all different!)-11-00-00"

This involves ASM to do it right. However, you can cheat by using Shinyizer on your rom and creating a bunch of script tiles that are:
#Dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
setvar 0x8003 0x1
Every time you step on one of these tiles, the next pokemon you see will be shiny

I changed the message to msgbox and it allowed em to save and i put in the offset into advanced map but it doesnt stay the same nore does it open my file with the offset "2DD103"
And will i have to put the RBC files INTO the rom?
like put them into the files or will compiling put them in without the file or somethign lol cuz idk if that would be needed to give it out for others to play
and how would you edit the credits and opening files or just take me out
I am having some trouble understanding what you are trying to say. Could you please be a little clearer?
I don't know anything about credits, however the opening "files" like copyright and such, are just simple images you cam find in Un-Lz. You will need to be good at editing tile maps to do them.

SFMOMA Announces Announces Finalists for Expansion
SFMOMA announced four firms that are the finalists in the museum's hunt for an architect to design its forthcoming expansion, which will triple the size of its galleries. Adjaye Associates, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Foster + Partners, and Snøhetta, made the final cut based on their past work and interviews conducted over two-days last month (as opposed to design proposals for the new expansion).
Exhibits To Catch On First Thursday
May brings rising artists on the move and familiar names back on the scene. Here's a brief look at a few of the Bay's openings and art events, just in time for First Thursday.
SFMOMA Launches a Rooftop Garden iPad App
SFMOMA's new iPad Rooftop Garden app makes sure you and your iPad won't leave the museum's rooftop empty headed.
High Hopes for SFMOMA
A bit of hard work and dedication never hurt anyone. Our beloved SFMOMA has already amassed $250 million out of their $480 million campaign goal. Money will be used for renovations, include tripling of the public space, expanded educational programs, enhancement of exhibitions and other services for the public. Particularly the anticipated Fisher Collection, a prized accumulation of private modern and contemporary art, will be sure to up the SFMOMA's street cred. Perhaps the new burst of support is from the Gap collaboration, but we're in full support either way. Their 75th year is off to a great start.
Luc Tuymans: The Artist Questions Art
Luc Tuymans may not be a household name but don't mistake that as reason to bypass this very important exhibit. The Belgian artist's first US retrospective is the most comprehensive presentation of his work to date, featuring nearly 75 key paintings from 1978 to the present. Considered by many as one of the most significant painters today, Tuymans' has already made a lasting impression on today's generation of artists.
A note of warning: steer clear if you're looking for art that is fun and frivolous. The work on view here is richly layered, dauntingly dark and will pulse through you long after leaving the museum.
SFMOMA Teams Up with The Gap: Wear A Work of Art For Under $25
SFMOMA really knows how to throw a party. To coincide with their 75th anniversary celebration, they enlisted the help of nine artists with Bay Area ties and local clothing giant Gap to create a line of unique limited-edition T-shirts. The result is a brilliant collection of eight unisex shirts from the likes of well-known artists Chris Johanson, Barry McGee, Larry Sultan and Mike Mandel that are sure to be highly covetable for art students and collectors alike.
Look of the Week: SFMOMA 75th Anniversary
As much as we love getting dressed to the nines to peruse the seemingly endless art galleries on First Thursday, the fabulous SFMOMA openings have remained elusive...until now. In honor of their 75th anniversary, SFMOMA is opening the floodgates to members and non-members (sadly, we fall into this category) alike to ogle what's sure to be one of the best collections we've ever seen, gratis. To top it all off, they're throwing a late-night bash Saturday night with live performances by Zoe Keating and Loop!Station, electronic collage artists and more importantly, a cash bar.
The Modern Art Council (MAC) of SFMOMA kicked-off its 75th anniversary yesterday with its 75th Holiday Luncheon at the museum.
Formerly known as the Women's Board of the San Francisco Museum of Art, the MAC auxiliary serves as the museum's fundraising arm and organizer of its many educational programs.
Originally spear-headed by Evie Haas and the late Mary Keesling, the auxiliary's dedication to modern art is evidenced in the fact that its founding in December 1934 pre-dates the museum's opening by one month.
While we couldn't make it to lunch, we did attend a pre-party tea hosted by former MAC President Ann Fisher.
OPEN Restaurant's Futurist Extravaganza
There are rare times when words escape the writer: not because of block, mind you, but because words don't seem like quite enough. Such is the predicament in trying to describe the spectacle that was Saturday night at the SFMOMA, where a Futurism banquet organized by OPEN restaurant (part of the ongoing MOMA Futurist exhibit which celebrates the 100th anniversary of Futurism) went down.
Mod Squad @ SF20
There was much to celebrate last night at the SF20 preview party which benefitted the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Not only has this show and sale of 20th-century decorative arts firmly established itself as a solid hit among designistas, but museum members were abuzz over the news that Doris and Don Fisher had reached an agreement with SFMOMA to house their dazzling private collection which features some of the most significant works in modern and contemporary art.
Huzzah, sweetie!

Food Management Systems
If you are running a food business already you should have identified what might go wrong with the food and have put in food safety procedures to make sure that the food you sell is safe.
It is based on food safety practices that you should be familiar with.
Food safety regulations
The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006 came into force in January 2006.This new legislation requires the food business to operate a food safety management system which will help provide higher standards of food safety than those currently in place. The main emphasis is on hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP). To summarise, you must be able to show what you do to make the food safe and have it written down.
Safer Food, Better Business pack
The Food Standards Agency has developed a pack for small catering businesses and retailers called Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB). It is made up of safe method sheets and a diary. The safe method sheets highlight things that are important to make food safely and asks you to write down how you do things. They also provide advice on what to do when things go wrong. Every day the diary is signed to say that the safe methods have been followed and there is space to note anything different that happens or goes wrong.
The online guide, available in 16 different languages, will help food businesses implement SFBB and train staff on SFBB. Follow the links to download and print the SFBB pack.
You can print out the new print-friendly version of the diary refill separately if you only need that part of the pack. This new version can be filled electronically and allows you to download the diary pages onto your computer desktop, fill them in, name them for the appropriate month and year and store them electronically, if you prefer.
Sauces and flavoured oils guide
As part of our ongoing commitment to business support we have created a sauces/flavoured oils guide
This guide is aimed at food businesses who produce sauces and/or flavoured oils that are safe and comply with legislation which is enforced by the Public Protection and Business Support service.
For some larger businesses, more detail may be required than that needed for Safer Food, Better Business. For further information please contact the Public Protection Department on 0300 1234 212 or email email@example.com

Dining-world trends: The burger steps back?
Esteemed chef panel dishes on trends at big ideas trade expo
We're backing off the burger.
At least at the kind of places that might attempt a foie gras-stuffed burger - you know, mid- to upscale restaurants.
This, according to five hotshot SoCal chefs (three L.A. imports, two locals, some combined TV-cred sizzle).
The burger wind-down was just one of the big declarations they made yesterday at a "new fine dining" panel discussion at the Western Foodservice & Hospitality Expo downtown.
An audience of restaurant professionals took notes on these restaurant ideas, sitting in a black-curtained off area of the Convention Center's main hall (so like a gym converted for community theater). One attendee asked how to make his sports bar more appealing to high-minded diners. ("Turn the lights up and serve good food," the Beard Award-nominated panelist deadpanned.)
So who were the chefs and what did they say was trending?
Brian Malarkey (SD's Searsucker and Burlap – cheftestant from "Top Chef" Season 3);
Joe Magnanelli (SD's Cucina Urbana and Kensington Grill, another Cucina with be in Irvine);
Brendan Collins (Culver City's gastropub, Waterloo & City – best new restaurant 2011 James Beard Award nominee and Larry's);
Amanda Baumgarten (L.A.'s Water Grill – cheftestant from "Top Chef" Season 7);
Mark Peel (L.A.'s Campanile and the Tar Pit – "Hell's Kitchen" and "Top Chef Masters" to name a few TV appearances).
...and mediating and prodding the panelists: Brad Metzger out of L.A.
Gluten-free menus. This was brayed about mostly by Malarkey. "So many people just don't like carbs!" He says some of his "very attractive clientele" at his "Asian Cowboy" restaurant, Burlap, claim gluten allergies...until he reminds them they shouldn't have the soy sauce. It's not gluten free.
Burgers. The guy with the British accent, Collins, actively practices burger censorship at a gastropub of all places! The complete patty stoppage came after someone insisted all gastropubs should have burgers.
The panel said when the economy tanked, burgers were the go-to thing. But burgers will wash themselves out soon.
Added Peel, "The burger trend, it's the newest thing! It started around 1950…" to laughs all around.
What restaurant trends do you want more of?
High-end burgers 4% (1)
Fresh ingredients in cocktails 8% (2)
Small plates, aka tapas 63% (15)
Farm shout-outs on menus 8% (2)
Charcuterie and offcuts 17% (4)
24 total votes.
Yelpers. While no one would go on the record about this one, a chef mentioned they'd like to set up a website to review restaurant patrons. Especially the ones who complain about their steaks, get them comped, and then ask for doggie bags.
Farm shout-outs on menus. "Listing every single ranch and pond" your ingredients are sourced from is overkill, says Malarkey.
Skinny menus. Restricted calorie entrées. Word is the Cheesecake Factory is introducing under-600 calorie dishes. No one on the panel cared.
The Michelin Garden. Restricting your restaurant only to food you've grown yourself (see Bon Appétit's recent article, "The Michelin Garden") sounded like a bad idea to our panel.
More first-come, first-served seating. They talked about locking Open Table out from peak seating RSVPs.
Social-dining experiences. Malarkey is the poster-chef for this convivial-atmosphere approach. On the panel, he described his two restaurants as places that have "not just food but great cocktails, great service…open late, couch areas where you can sit and a counter to meet the chef. It's approachable. Local beers and you can keep ordering small plates and keep enjoying yourself all night long."
To which Peel added, "What you're doing is breaking down the traditional structure of the fine-dining meal. (Dining has been) as strict as Kabuki theater…first course, main course, how you dress, but (Searsucker) is built much like a cafeteria, you can select what you want to do in this environment."
"I don't know if I like 'cafeteria'" said a mock-protesting Malarkey.

I was wondering if anybody might be able to give me and my bike a lift to and from this ride? I will probably have to loan out my car to a friend.
I'm in Foster City and can ride to any of the neighboring cities.
I probably could pick you up Msincredible.
My problem is that if something else comes up, for the most part, any ride planned takes second chair. So I can't for sure say yay or nay until the day or two before the ride.
I think I might be able to make this one
The boss just said I could go on this ride.

And while this happens, Apple officials in China have currently announced that iPhone 4S launch in Beijing is cancelled, for now. And that, in turn, has further pissed off the crowd.

Why it takes so long to achieve social media success
Aug 31st
If you're impatient, social media is probably the wrong marketing channel for you. Here's a chart that illustrates why.
This is data from the recent research released by Social Media Examiner. This is not a scientific study, but it is a view from nearly 4,000 marketers, skewed toward small businesses. So we can't regard it as absolute truth but it is probably directionally correct. Let's take a close look at what we can learn from the feedback provided by these active social media marketers.
First, let's examine the expectations they have from their social media initiatives:
A pretty comprehensive list. It's interesting that "soft benefits" like awareness and loyalty are at the top of the chart when everybody seems to be preoccupied with ROI. Perhaps marketers are beginning to finally acknowledge the important qualitative benefits of social media marketing.
Social media success takes time
Now let's refer to the chart at the top of the post again. When we compare a soft benefit like awareness with a "hard" benefit like sales, we see that most people even just starting with social media recognize an immediate benefit on the awareness front. In fact about 80 percent saw results in the first year compared to 35 percent who saw an increase in sales right out of the gate.
This chart would imply that you have to work hard on your social media marketing for at least 3-4 years before most businesses see an impact on sales. And the most successful businesses realizing a true ROI may have been at it five years or more, a category where 70 percent of the respondents could see an increase in sales.
Weak relational links
Why does it take so long for the sales to kick in?
One of the biggest problems many businesses face is they compare social media marketing efforts with advertising. That is an inaccurate comparsion because the mechanisms and benefits are different. If you need to drive rapid awareness or pump up sales with a coupon, advertising still works really well (assuming people see your ads!).
While social media has many benefits including marketing research, customer service, and collaboration, for many businesses it's primarily about building relationships that lead to sales. But social media connections are weak relational links. Social media platforms simply open new doors, and it takes time to turn those connections into strong links that are actionable.
Instead of comparing social media marketing to advertisng, it might be more accurate comparing it to the benefits of attending an annual trade show or networking meeting where it takes time to build relationships that lead to sales.
So yes, the immediate benefit of social media marketing is awareness and that is IMPORTANT because awareness leads to engagement. Over time, that engagement may result in trust. And it's not until we get to that point that we can begin seeing some cash coming in the door … maybe years down the line.
This is why social media marketing can be a hard sell to executives who are accustomed to the overnight results of advertising. Unfortunately, many traditional kinds of advertising present diminishing returns as people spend less time with newspapers, local radio, and network television. For this reason, it makes good sense to start moving up that social media sales curve now, right?

Stop Nurturing Me
Jun 24th
By Eric Wittlake, {grow} Contributing Columnist
I'm sick of being "nurtured."
To nurture, according to Google, is to "care for and encourage the growth or development of."
The problem is, when a marketer is "nurturing" me, they are clearly caring for and encouraging the growth of their pipeline and revenue. Not me. Not my career. Not my business.
As marketers, we are nurturing our business, not our prospects. We are always looking for an opportunity to bring someone around to our point of view. To insert our perspective.
We focus on "helping" them solve the challenges we solve, and we approach them as if ours is the only viable solution to these problems they barely care about. And we do it with nearly everyone our path has crossed with.
This isn't nurturing. Somewhere along the way we've gotten lost between the demands of the business to sell at scale and the advice to be helpful to the audience. The end result falls short on both fronts.
If we want to nurture prospects, we need to invest in their growth and development. As they grow, as they advance, as they follow advice that really does move them forward personally or professionally, our offerings should become relevant. If they don't, we have a product problem, not a nurture program problem.
What does nurturing look like
Consider a software solution that helps Oracle database developers and administrators. If you provide perspective that helps them make use of a broader range of Oracle's offering across their business, their implementation and system will become more complex and critical across their business. As it does, your solution becomes more and more valuable to them.
What about a business intelligence provider? Teach people how to use real-time information effectively, how to use different financial metrics and how to effectively summarize information to make it valuable to the business. They may be using Excel today, but as they rely more on data and insight to drive their business, their need for a solution like yours will increase.
These are examples of investing in your prospects' growth and development. It is marketing that is valuable to the audience, including the majority of the market that benefits from useful information but isn't looking for a new solution today.
This is nurturing, not the self-centered promotion pawned off as nurturing by most marketers today.
Your turn
What would happen if marketers started nurturing the audience rather than focusing on their pipeline? What are examples of marketers you believe are doing this well today?
Eric Wittlake spends his days working with B2B marketers and (occasionally) shares his marketing views on his personal blog, B2B Digital Marketing. You can find him on Twitter (@wittlake) when he isn't working with B2B marketers.

33 Inspiring B2B digital marketing case studies
May 21st
By Rob Petersen, {grow} Community Member
First, a few depressing facts:
- 86 percent of B2B companies say they are doing content marketing
- Just 38 percent say it is effective
- 21 perecnt are able to track a return on investment (ROI) (source: Content Marketing Institute)
Benefits from marketing and attribution of results always seem harder for B2B companies than B2C. Maybe it's because the buying cycle takes longer, more people are involved in purchase decisions and sales are made for rational, not emotional, reasons.
Is it harder or are we not looking hard enough?
If you need convincing, here are 32 B2B digital marketing case studies that prove the potental ROI. In this post, we wil feature case studies in the areas of content marketing, social media marketingm social CRM, social selling, LinkedIn marketing, and webinars.
Here we go:
- ADP: Developed a content marketing campaign to connect and engage with their target audience on a ADP solution using white papers and a diagnostic assessment tool. The campaign generated over $1 million in new sales opportunities with several deals closed within the first 3 months of launch.
- CROWE HORWATH: the public accounting firm used 48 pieces of content in 4 different topic areas, this campaign targeted C-level prospects in financial institutions with $1 billion or more in assets across the buying cycle. Content tactics included: executive briefs, case studies, infographics, checklists, Q and A, and Brainshark video. 778 contacts were engaged with a 70% open rate (vs. 10%), 2 engagement worth $250k in revenue.
- DEMANDBASE: A B2B marketing cloud, helped B2B marketers make the right content technology investment by using a white paper, infographic, webinar, Slideshare and a live presentation to spotlight tools that can maximize the power of content. The results of the campaign generated 1,700 leads, 125 webinar participants, 5,000 views on Slideshare and $1 million in new business.
- FISHER TANK: Makes giant, above-ground welded steel tanks. With clients in the fuel industries, waste water, pulp & paper and other industrial and municipal areas, projects tend to be big (multi-million dollar) and take a long time to sell (12 months and longer). For more than 60 years, the company has made its sales primarily through cold calling and referrals from existing clients. So it took some moxy to launch a content marketing strategy online. The plan including sprucing up the website, integrating a blog and social sharing, and offering some valuable content by free download. The campaign increased web traffic by 119%, traffic from social media by 4800%, lead conversions by 3900%, quote requests by 500% and new qualified sales opportunities by $3.4 million.
- LOGICALL: A company that focuses on inbound and outbound customer management solutions, uses content assets such as emails, microsite and ebook, Logicalis developed a thought leadership effort that supported sales teams by enabling custom messaging based on the prospects interaction with the campaign. With a target audience of about 2,000, nearly $8 million in new pipeline business was closed.
- OPENTEXT: A software solution for enterprise information management, created a personalized new customer onboarding site offering a variety of assets (white papers, checklists, product pages, ebooks, case studies) and content to welcome new clients and provide upsell, cross-sell opportunities. The campaign also included a two phase nurturing program. 1,700 new contacts were identified along with 31 new opportunities worth $1.8 million.
- OPTUM: A health services business, created an integrated marketing campaign to support the launch of a new solution, support sales and build thought leadership. The content marketing mix included: advertorials, display ads, email, direct mail and a campaign website. The successful campaign earned a 23.5 lead to conversion rate, 475% increase in website traffic, 2,500+ resource downloads, 28% increase in YoY blog followers and $52 million in contract value of new business with less than $ 1,000,000 invested.
- RS COMPONENTS: The electronic product distribution company created a specific social hub, spanning four different languages, having the purpose of being a collaboration and engagement hub for Electronic Design Engineering. One of the centrepieces of the site is the free tool store, which includes a free design tool that's been downloaded more than 60,000 times and the site itself gathered more than 45,000 members within its first 12-month period.
- SAP: The global strategy was aimed at enabling cross-cultural information to be efficiently shared around the company. SAP Latin AmericaOne year after implementing this strategy SAP Latin America had more than 100,000 fans and followers (an increase of 900%) and achieved a 17% interaction rate across the region, while a campaign featuring a social app targeting specific buying centers drove more than 12,000 visitors and a 15% engagement rate. has four Facebook pages, four Twitter feeds and two LinkedIn accounts. These profiles are split out by language (e.g. Portuguese and Spanish) rather than country and aim at achieving a split of 20% promotion material vs. 80% of interesting, engaging content for its community.
- XEROX: Created a targeted "Get Optimistic" campaign to connect with 30 top accounts and partnered with Forbes to create a magazine that offered relevant business tips. 70% of targeted companies interacted with the microsite, readership increased 300-400% over previous email campaigns, added 20,000 new contacts, generated 1,000+ scheduled appointments, and get this: yielded $1.3 BILLION in pipeline revenue.
- CISCO: Established a social media listening center. It listens to more than 5000 social mentions a day on Facebook, Twitter, and other social channels. Cisco has been able to control outside agency fees, avoid other customer and partner interaction costs, increase team productivity, and identify new sales opportunities. The social media listening center has had an ROI of +281% in 5 months to generate an annual benefits of $1,596,292.
- MAERSK: Danish shipping company Maersk first began using social back in 2011 to raise brand awareness, gain insight into the market, increase employee satisfaction and get closer to its customers, It focuses on the stories that emerge from within the business, such as how it is helping fuel a boom in the sale of Kenyan avocados and where its staff come from. Its presence on each network is tailored to that platform, so for example on LinkedIn it promotes job vacancies and publishes articles about the work culture within the business, while on Instagram it encourages followers to post photos of its ships using the hashtag #Maersk. Maersk now has more than 1.5m Facebook fans (of which around 15% are customers) and 12,000 Twitter followers, as well as active accounts on Instagram, Tumblr, YouTube and Google+.
- DELL sought to go where its customers are — on social media — by offering technical support, responding to customer concerns and building business digitally. The company launched @DellCares, a program that uses social media platforms and online communities to address customer questions and reply directly to customers through tweets and other response methods. According to Amy Marquez Bivin, Social Media Outreach Manager, 98 percent of customer issues responded to through @DellCares are resolved without customers needing to work with an agent and 85 percent of social-media-assisted customers with negative initial opinions of Dell reported a positive opinion following the support experience. The program is also generating an average of $265,000 in additional weekly revenue.
- SHIPSERV: It's difficult to imagine the maritime industry getting to grips with social media, but Shipserv one of the leading industry marketplaces, proves that in can be done very successfully. As part of a wider marketing strategy and customer engagement strategy, various social approaches were taken, resulting in greater site traffic, alongside increased brand awareness and lead opportunities. From an initial $30,000 social media marketing investment, it's estimated the overall results achieved would have cost more than $150,000 through traditional media.
- ALLINA HEALTH: Used CRM to manage its data warehouse. It's identified benefits that include reduced patient length of stay, reduced admissions, and improved health outcomes in stroke, depression, and angioplasty treatments. Within 2 years, the CRM initiative had an ROI of +152% and generated $1,052,828 each year.
- GET SATISFACTION: A leading online customer community platform that companies use or customer support, idea submission, marketing and sales questions, and capturing positive feedback, focused traffic driving strategies on search, social media, blogging, and building a content community. The CRM strategy achieved an ROI of +104% in month one, +168% in month two and +248% in month three.
- TYROIT: is Europe's largest manufacturer of bonded grinding, cutting-off, sawing, and drilling tools generating $416 million in annual revenue from more than 70,000 unique products produced in 19 plants for 60 countries. Tyroit used CRM to integrate products and solutions to reduce the number of contact points and transaction costs. It increased bottom line costs by +25% and produced an ROI of +183% within 2 years.
- AT&T: Put together a new sales team to re-build business relationships with a Fortune 100 company in Atlanta. They decided to take an entirely new approach that heavily favored building relationships through social media. They had to try something new. Relationships with a key client had suffered in the past five years, creating strain and sales had dried up. With training from Mark Schaefer and support from our internal team, they began implementing a content strategy aimed at strategic "persons of interest" from the former customer. Inside of 18 months $47 million in brand new business was awarded to AT&T, directly attributable to social media outreach.
- IBM: Traditional ways of finding B2B customers for hardware and software products – telemarketing and email – were not producing the same results when applied to selling web-based services such as cloud computing and data security. IBM launched a program called "intelligent listening" within social media to learn what conversations about cloud computing were going on, what trends and issues were being discussed, and what the hot-button topics in the field were for users. Sales reps could simply check an RSS feed, find some content that fit the context of any discussion they were seeing, and upload them to social media and also to their new individual rep profile pages within the IBM site. The result was 10 orders the first day, and orders for product during the quarter that were 4X higher than during the same time the year before.
- INCONTACT: A call center software company, trained half their team to learn and engage with customers through Social Selling using LinkedIn and the marketing automation software, Eloqua. Within a year, the half of the team that was trained saw a 122% increase in revenue for those sales reps using LinkedIn; 157% increase in revenue for those sales reps using LinkedIn & Eloqua. Now the entire company is trained in Social Selling Here is a brief video to explain the story.
- INDIUM: Social Media in manufacturing is a rarity. Several of their engineers (17 or so, and 73 blogs.) write blog articles to share their expertise with customers, prospects and people with questions about the technical applications related to solder. They shifted from traditional white papers to blog articles, supported by extensive measurements. Video is part of the mix too, to develop high value conversations, and this rolls over into trade show attendance. The video highlights key points for success and insights. SEO improved significantly. Leads increased significantly while trade-show costs decreased 75%.
- HUBSPOT: Focused social media on solving customers' problems as a way to earn leads. For example, HubSpot is first to release guidebooks their target market needs to create success. When something changes in online marketing, HubSpot is there with a guide to manage the change. They share the best advice, fast and have earned a reputation as THE educational resource for the market they serve. They give knowledge and advice (content) away free and make sure it's the very best stuff possible. This (now) famous software start-up exploded onto the scene in 2006. Two years later they hit $2.2 million in sales and $52 million 4 years later.
- LINKEDIN: Had to be converted to social selling. After the release of tools such as Sales Navigator and TeamLink, LinkedIn's own sales team began seeing significant results. Ralf VonSosen, the company's head of marketing for sales solutions notes, "We started seeing a 50% increase in leads to meeting conversion rates."
- LOGMYCALLS: A call tracking service, practiced a"150 Blog Posts in 50 Days" effort. "With a company our size, the commitment has to be significant in order to produce 3 unique and useful blog posts a day," says Inbound Marketing Manager, McKay Allen. "After all, we also produce 2 original marketing webinars each week, monthly case studies, a variety of marketing White Papers, and some humorous and awesome marketing call tracking videos." The result of this original and relevant content: A 400% increase in leads within 90 days.
- AXWAY: Is a software service that manages, runs, secures, and monitors all your business interactions – emails, files, messages, services, events, and processes. Although Google Adwords was successful at generating leads for Axway, competition for top keywords was fierce and drove up conversion costs. Axway used LinkedIn Ads specifically targeting the job titles, industries and job functions. They tested over 30 ads with custom landing pages. The LinkedIn campaigns generated +25% conversion rate with the lowest cost per conversion ever achieved.
- JMF INTERNATIONAL TRADE GROUP: Is a business consultancy and contract manufacturer run by James Filbird. What Jim did is something any of us could do to grow a business but most of us don't. He: 1) kept his profile up-to-date, 2) joined 50 LinkedIn Groups, 3) scoured Group Digests, 4) engaged in discussions, 5) connected, 6) moved the conversation offline, mostly through Skype and 7) re-evaluated his groups and contacts, regularly. He attributes the company he built to $5,000,000 in revenue largely to LinkedIn.
- GOSHIDO: a software solution that makes is easier for people around the world to work together and collaborated, used LinkedIn to find seed capital for its own creation. This was done by identifying and leveraging connections who could be potential investors. Approximately $150,000 was raised.
- HEWLETT PACKARD: is the first company to hit 1,000,000 Followers for a Company Page. They also set up a specific Discussion Group to attract small businesses that has 5,500+ members; 75% who actively engage in discussions and who are 2X more likely to recommend HP. Since a video tell more than 1,000 words, here's the story.
- INSPIRED MARKETING: Sells digital materials and online training programs about using social networking tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to create and market a successful business. In 2010, the partners presented more than 300 webinars (both their own and through other people). They investment could be tracked to over $2.5 million in sales for 2011. "In January 2011, we had sales of $250,000 from just seven GoToWebinar events," says President and Co-founder, Lewis Howes.
- LUMEDX: Is a small healthcare technology company with 100 person staff. It needed to stand out in the face of large brand competition. Lumedx used webinars to cost effectively build awareness of its cardiovascular information and imaging systems product, drive lead generation campaigns and build customer rapport. Lumeds increased contact with over 500 clients, gained competitive edge over much larger companies and drove over$600,000 in annual sales.
- MARKETO: Is a leading provider of marketing analytics software. The company recognized webinars as a key piece in the marketing tool kit to promote thought leadership and generate leads. As with many webinars, people registered but didn't always attend. They used a simple, recorded phone message reminder in addition to email. Although th ephone reminder added $2 for every registrant, it increased conversion of people who attended from 26% to 48% and, according to Marketo, was well worth the investment in terms of sales results according to a company rep.
- PINPOINTE: Is a provider of on-demand email marketing automation services for mid-market and large enterprises. Pinpointe depended upon free,15-day trials of its service together with traditional sales outreach to generate leads and win new customers. However, the company wanted to find additional ways to increase awareness, leads and sales. When webinars were added, 1000 new leads per month are added; 25 become customers who each generate $200/month in Pinpointe services adding $6,250 and $75,000 to the bottom line.
- SEAGATE: Is a large 52000+ staff technology company, Seagate wanted to bypass traditional B2B channels and market its new product directly to end users. Webinars facilitated a B2C product launch and attracted 1500+ attendees with zero advertising budget. Seagate also used webinars to assemble far-flung speakers for webcasts without travel costs. Seagate exceeded initial sales unit goal by 300 percent, doubling sales forecast within one week of launch. Once they put the webcast on YouTube, a viral marketing effect created 38,800 within 4 months.
Did you find one relevant to your business? Did these case studies convince you digital marketing works for your B2B business?

Take the test. Do you have a social media addiction?
May 6th
By Kerry Gorgone, {grow} Contributing Columnist
"I can unplug anytime I want," you think, closing your laptop with a sense of satisfaction. Seconds later, you fish your smartphone out of your pocket and fire up the Facebook mobile app.
Meanwhile, you don't even hear your child practicing for his piano recital, or your significant other asking what you want for dinner. As you scroll through your Facebook feed, life becomes nothing more than background noise.
A few years back, a post on this blog discussed whether social media addiction was real.
It is.
And in a few moments you will learn how you can tell if you are addicted or not. But first, a few plain facts.
Wired for social media addiction?
40% of young adults—and 21% of adults overall—admit to using social media while on the toilet (and those who don't admit it are probably lying). Why can't we stay away from social media, even for three minutes?
Multiple studies have reached the same conclusion: social media can become an addiction. We are neurologically wired to seek validation, and interactions such as Facebook Likes and retweets stimulate the reward areas in our brain, giving us a hit of dopamine.
The dopamine high people get from virtual interactions (including texting, emailing, and tweeting) can lead them to spend more and more time online. People have lost their jobs. College students have neglected their studies. In some cases, parents have even let their children die while they browse Facebook or Twitter.
No one likes to think they might be a social media addict, but if your online life is interfering with your actual life, it's time to ask yourself some hard questions. Could you really go an entire day without checking your social media feeds?
Yeah, me neither.
Do you have a social media addiction?
Do you spend too much time on social media? Let's start with this simple test.
Click here to see how much time you've wasted on Facebook already. I've spent more than a month of my life on Facebook. I'm not proud of it (although I wouldn't necessarily characterize all that time as "wasted").
But don't judge yourself too harshly because you feel a compulsion to update your status. Sites like Facebook are designed to "hook" you. They use external triggers ("notifications") to draw you into the app, then reward you with more notifications when you engage. Alleviating boredom by firing up Facebook quickly becomes a habit—and a difficult one to break!
Internet addiction more broadly has been studied in some depth, but there are not as many scientific studies specifically covering "social media addiction." In recent years, however, our social fixation has begun to gain researchers' attention.
A 2014 study at the University of Albany found that 10 percent of undergraduate students' experience "disordered social networking use," reporting "strong urges or cravings to browse [Facebook], irritability when access was out of reach and an increase in use over a length of time."
To date, Internet addiction has not been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (much less social media addiction), although some psychiatrists believe it should be added. Whether it's in the DSM or not, Internet and social media addiction impact millions of people.
The real test.
If you're worried you might be a social media addict, ask your significant other or a close friend for her honest opinion. The look on her face will tell you everything you need to know!
Is it time to unplug for a while?
For a start, delete social media apps from your phone. That step alone will reduce the temptation to "tweet from the seat," or browse social networks while driving.
Texting behind the wheel gets more press, but drivers are firing up Facebook and Twitter while on the road, and the problem is more serious than people realize. Engaging in social media behind the wheel is worse than drunk driving in terms of delayed reaction times.
So give that Like button a rest and focus on the road. Stow the smartphone and take in the sunset (or a movie, or a glass of pinot noir—whatever).
But before you close this post, share it, won't you? The great irony here is that social media addicts might never realize they have a problem unless someone brings the issue to their attention. Sharing this post might help somebody.
Thanks for reading today and please give me your thoughts on social media addiction in the comment section.

Madrid, Jun 25 (EFE).- The chairman of the Madrid 2020 bid committee on Tuesday emphasized that the IOC's recent technical report on cities vying to host the 2020 Olympics is "truly spectacular."
"Today is a day of great satisfaction and responsibility because of the position in which we find ourselves," Alejandro Blanco said after learning the results of the International Olympic Committee report.
Madrid is vying with Istanbul and Tokyo to host the 2020 Summer Games. IOC members will choose the host city in a secret ballot set for Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires.
"On the seventh we will have a big test, but until that day we have to continue going in stages. When the cut was made with Madrid in first place, it was the first step toward knowing how we stood, and now we've gotten to the point where the result of this report is truly spectacular," he said.
Blanco emphasized the evaluation of the IOC regarding the distance of the sports venues from the city's downtown area as well as the "high understanding of the responsibility to organize" the Games as strong points favoring Madrid's candidacy.
He also emphasized the local "popular support" for Madrid 2020, a situation reflected in the fact that the sports event last Saturday in support of Spain's candidacy attracted 50,000 people, something - Blanco said - that "the entire world saw."
The report emphasized, the chairman said, the "absolute viability of the project and the optimization of the (existing) resources" as well as the already existing infrastructure.
"We're at a very important moment. We haven't won anything yet, we're where we are, and some days still remain, but all together we can support this project. We're prepared and we want to win the Games," Blanco said.

uh oh, not sure I should be asking but still
those towel animals that I see in photos, can you take them home with you at the end of the stay?
uh oh, not sure I should be asking but still

We do lol, not sure if you are allowed though.
I honestly don't know! I know loads of folks do (or so I've read) and that reportedly the housekeepers encourage that.
We never have, but I'm guessing that if taking them home were a real issue there wouldn't be any more made. So, taking them home might very well be factored into the "cost" of making and presenting them?
As I said, I don't know! :spring:
We took this little guy home with us, couldn't resist

How about EreAnnie? XD
Gorgeous works! I loved browsing your gallery!
A future commission might be in the brainworks. n.n
A future commission might be in the brainworks. n.n
I recognize this picture, were you at Anime Expo 2014!??
Eremika ftw ! hah nice art <3
Eremika is my otp maaan
ErenMikasa is the ship of ships, man. In my opinion, anyways. ^w^"
Both, actually. XD You know what solves that problem? THREEESOMMMEMEE- XDDD I'm so pervy. XD
Both, actually. XD You know what solves that problem? THREEESOMMMEMEE- XDDD I'm so pervy. XD
Hi I really like this pik; would you mind if I use it in an AMV I'm working on? I credit all artists
ErenMikasa. No doubt of it
Oh my gosh this is amazing
you're doing really well with this. good work
Chapter 50 attack on titan mikasaxeren just became official.1.) mikasa basically did an confession, I mean even Eren isn't THAT dense. 2.) she was about to his him..anden at he said to her was so cute. <3 (ever though the rest of the chapter was so sad.)
That's soo awesome!! I'm new to Attack On Titan but this is still really awesome!!
Incredibly beautiful!!
I've seen your art of Mikasa in this piece somewhere before and I've been looking for the artist! So glad I found you!
Lolz~ Can we ship both?
Thank you (*´ ∀ `*)// wahahah ofc /lets ship everything
Your style is bubbly and sharp at the same time <3 I very much like it. They look great!
Oh wow! very very beautiful artwork, i love them *__*
My major thing is idk whether to do ErenArmin or ErenMikasa lolz
Loving this pic of these two.
Green eyes.. Other than that, great
For the most part I think shipping and romantic relationships are stupid for this anime. A romantic partner would be binding and usually if your romantic partner died you would be incapable of moving on. This anime is humanity vs world not a shojo manga.
Dude calm down.We can ship whoever we want plus mikasaxeren is most likely ganna happen.(at least we know mikasa likes Eren.So many hints!)Best art ever btw
I completely agree, people can ship whoever they want (plus mikasa x Eren hints are flying around as much as soldiers in 3D maneuver gear now). In my personal opinion, I try not to ship couples in this anime because they likelihood of feels getting smashed to pieces is high.
This is my favorite AoT pairing!
Very nice job.
I like it!! And actually, I prefer ErenMikasa how about you?
Love it
WOW, just one word... Perfect O_O
wow, both of them look cute :3 i love this!
awesome :3
cool drawing! i like eren x mikasa but eren x levi is my favorite

Skip to comments.Book attacking Obama makes the bestseller list
Posted on 08/12/2008 6:50:16 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776
Right-wing author Jerome Corsi hit it big in 2004 with a book attacking John F. Kerry.
"Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" soared to No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Now Corsi has done it again -- taking aim at a different Democratic presidential candidate.
Corsi's latest, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," will top the Aug. 17 New York Times hard-cover nonfiction bestseller list.
The book lashes out at Barack Obama and alleges, among other things, that the politician has a secret radical Islamic agenda.
But being No. 1 doesn't necessarily mean being accurate. Obama is a Christian.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Whatever gets you thru the night Kate. Pelosi's book is number one on the Best Flop Books list.
Anyone know if he's done or is scheduled to do C-Span Book-TV?
I love it. :-)
Someone remind me, where does Nancy Pelosi's book stand on the bestseller list? Har!!
"Right-wing author Jerome Corsi..."
I'm sure the LA Times prefaces all author's names with their political orientation.
"Leftist newsreader Tom Brokaw.."
"Consistently unfunny, angry liberal Al Franken..."
Black Liberation Theology is not Christian.
I assume this is based upon Obama's membership in Rev. Wright's "church?"
Book must be on target because Bob Beckel was on Fox a few days ago asking author if it was on fiction or non-fiction list.
Interesting... Obama's brother says that Obama is a Muslim.
Books critical of expected Democratic nominee Barack Obama are topping the best-seller lists, including The Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi, currently No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list for hardcover nonfiction.
No. 5 on the NYTs list is Fleeced by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann, a book breathlessly subtitled How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies That Help Iran, and Washington Lobbyists for Foreign Governments Are Scamming Us
and What to Do About It.
His so called christian church is a communist cult.
~~Proud owner of "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry" and "Obama Nation"~~
1 THE OBAMA NATION, by Jerome R. Corsi. (Threshold, $28.) The Democratic candidate as an extreme leftist, from the co-author of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. () 1
2 WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES, by David Sedaris. (Little, Brown, $25.99.) The humorists latest essays. First Chapter 1 9
3 STORI TELLING, by Tori Spelling with Hilary Liftin. (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, $24.95.) The actresss memoir. () 4 10
4 ARE YOU THERE, VODKA? ITS ME, CHELSEA, by Chelsea Handler. (Simon Spotlight Entertainment, $24.95.) Humorous personal essays from the stand-up comedian. 5 15
5 FLEECED, by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann. (Harper, $26.95.) Americans are fleeced by government, business, labor unions and lobbyists. ()
I've listened to the CD tapes in the car. I recommend buying those as you can hear the author speaking his words.
Regarding religion, Corsi takes Obama at his word that he is a Christian.
In every other area it's a well documented, hard hitting account about "what makes this guy tick."
Unfit for Command was pretty much a one dimensional appraisal of Kerry. This book reveals multi-faceted areas of Obama's character, and since character is what Axelrod has planned to promote to the American public, NOT ISSUES, the book goes to the heart of Obama's persona.
There is NOT DOUBT in my mind now. AMERICANS WILL NOT vote for this man once they know about him. And those that do vote for him will do with trepidation.
Obama is a question mark. He is an known quantity. The Georgian conflict gives us our first taste of an Obama presidency. He is clueless on foreign policy and on the Russian Empire.
JFK was clueless also. He conducted the most lame invasion of Cuba that in retrospect shows his lack of command and the breakdown of communication between he and the military and perhaps with Eisenhauer and Truman both men would have done things differently.
but JFK learned quickly.
We do not have the luxury in this day and age of long learning curve for our president. Obama and the people he will employ around him will be a disaster for this country.
>>>Interesting... Obama's brother says that Obama is a Muslim.
So does his sister.
The Associated Press reported last week that three anti-Obama books were in the top 20 list on Amazon.com. Currently, Corsis book as well as The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Medias Favorite Candidate by David Freddoso remain on that list.
I can also highly recommend Corsi's "Atomic Iran."
And don't forget, freeper expatguy is featured in Obama Nation :)
Obama is a cynical atheist that used a racist Church as a political stepping stone.
I bought the Unfit to Command book by Jerome R. Corsi, never read it, I will probably buy the new book too ..Obama Nation, and never read it. There isn't anything that Corsi can tell me, that I don't already know about Obama.
They often call me "Barry,"
But my real name is MISTER SCHMOOZE.
My plans are kind of scary,
Yet they love me on nightly news.
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
No, Obama is evil.
I would get the CD tapes then give it to someone else. The CDs make going to work enjoyable. I don't have time to read anything about this man. I'll do it passively.
Just because he says he is a Christian does not make it so any more than him living in a garage makes him a car.
You've been snooping in on my FR Home page, huh. :)
The Bible is pretty clear in telling us that a Christian will be know by his fruits, the fruits of the Spirit. I have never seen any of these traits in Barrack Obama. When he speaks I hear words that claim he is Christian, but I see none of the fruits of the Spirit that would identify him as one. Regardless of his personality I would think it would be impossible for him to spend as much time as he does on the tube and not at least one or two of the fruits be clearly seen.
One of the beliefs of the Muslim is that they can take on whatever appearance they choose in order to further the cause of Islam. He would be perfectly comfortable to stand there as a Muslim and profess to be a Christian, or a bull frog for that matter, if in his heart he felt it was necessary to further his religion.
In the end it really doesn't matter if I see evidence of the fruits of the Holy Spirit in him or not. Whether or not he is a Christian is not my call to make. It's a personal matter between him and God. When it's all said and done it be Barrack Obama that will stand before the judgment throne and answer for his life on Earth. And it's between him and Jesus as to whether or not Jesus will step forward and assure His Father that Obama's been washed in the blood.
Amazon only had one copy left in stock. I got it. Thanks!
Racist, liar who supports infanticide is not a Christian either.
I agree, that is why my statement was directed at Black Liberation Theology, which proclaims the white man is evil and loving God means participating in the destruction of the white man. It is really radical stuff and Obama's church is the leading Church of this movement.
If Obama is a Christian, Jesus is a Pagan.
Good one.
this book is featured everywhere I go! I love seeing it right up front in stacks......and it's selling! people want both sides of the story and the msm isn't dissing the dirt on obama, so they look to a tried and true author for the dirt.
If he hasn't been baptized he isn't Christian now matter what he professes or actually believes.
I don't think he has a particular Islamist agenda, but his far left views and radical backers will certainly help others that wish to destroy America.
I wish they'd stop trying to push this lie. Obama is a black liberationist.
Even without the violence I would not be able to embrace Islam. I want the Blessed Assurance, as the great old song calls it, that I am going to spend eternity with my Lord. My understanding of Islam is that you never really know, until you die, if you are saved or not. I love the passage in 1st John where he says that he is reporting on things he saw and hear with his own eyes and ears. And the part where Paul tells us that we are to ignore even an ANGEL that appears to you and brings news that is not in keeping with the Gospel of Christ.
What on Earth are you talking about? It isn't all that complicated. Black Liberation Theology is a revolutionary communist ideology which disguises itself as a 'religion'. That's it. Please see my post#8 on this thread.
The term you want for Obama might be "slammunist". Normally you'd figure that I-slam and communism don't mix, sort of like oil and water; Obama appears intent on disproving that hypothesis.
Beckel is shallow.
Look at Corsi's background:
Ph.D Political Science (Harvard)
Expert in race relations (co-authored on of the first college textbooks on race relations using race riots of the 1960's as a central focus)
Co-authored *Rebuilding America: A Prescription for Creating Strong Families, Building the wealth of Working People, and Ending Welfare*
Published Papers in Law Journals (Legal Assistance for the Poor, Detroit Race Riots of 1967)
Co-authored the "Masotti Report" which was published as a staff report to Eisenhower Commission on Causes and prevention of Violence
Political Scientist working for U.S. Agency for International Development (to assist the State Department on a psychiatrist-led team to teach hostage survival skills in the wake of the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis in Iran; received Top Secret Security clearance)
Co-author of several other books and journal articles.
Research and study regarding terrorism and Islamic extremism for more than 25 years.
Black Liberation Theology, and Liberation Theology before it, is about violent revolutionary communism. While Liberation Theology used/uses "class", BLT uses "race" to promote hatred, division and resentment.
It's currently #1 in the Best Left in the Cellar List.
and allegedly so is Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Lurch, The Clintons, algore etc. and all his other baby murdering friends..
