When asked about the song in 1993, lead singer Thom Yorke said, "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s… Any man with any sensitivity or conscience toward the opposite sex would have a problem. To actually assert yourself in a masculine way without looking like you're in a hard-rock band is a very difficult thing to do… It comes back to the music we write, which is not effeminate, but it's not brutal in its arrogance. It is one of the things I'm always trying: To assert a sexual persona and on the other hand trying desperately to negate it."
On the other hand, guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood said the song was in fact a happy song about "recognizing what you are."

Yorke says this is about being in love with someone, but not feeling good enough. He describes the feeling as, "There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us."
Yorke wrote this in 1987 while he was a student at Exeter University in England. He first recorded it acoustic.
This was written before the band formed. Yorke gave his demo version to Colin Greenwood, who joined him and helped put the band together.
This wasn't released in the US until Radiohead's debut album in 1993. The band finished college and signed their record deal in 1991.
Yorke based this on a song called "
The Air That I Breathe
," which was written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood in 1972. After "Creep" was released, Radiohead agreed to share the songwriting royalties, so this is credited to Yorke, Hammond and Hazlewood.
This did well in the US, but not in their native England. When they released their third album,
O.K. Computer
, Radiohead was huge in England but not in the US.
On the album version, Thom Yorke sings, "You're so f--king special." For radio, he recut it as, "You're so very special." Yorke regrets changing the line for the radio version, saying it disturbed the "sentiment of the song." According to him, the song lost its anger as a result.
According to
magazine April 2008, the recording of this song came about as a result of producers Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie struggling with "Inside My Head" and "
." They remembered a track that that the band had played in rehearsal, introduced by Yorke as "our Scott Walker song." This portrait of an outsider was then recorded in one take.
The video, directed by Brett Turnbull, was recorded at a club in Oxford called The Zodiac.
One of the extras in the crowd scenes is a teenage Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet. The producer and DJ has remixed Thom Yorke and Radiohead tracks and also supported Radiohead on tour.
This is nicknamed "Crap" by the band due its slacker-anthem ubiquity.
When this was first released in England in 1992, the song flopped. It did well when it was re-released a year later, after Radiohead grew a fan base.
The three blasts of guitar noise that precede the chorus was the result of Jonny Greenwood trying to sabotage a tune he considered too "wimpy."
Yorke claims he received fan mail from "murderers" saying how much they could relate to this song.
Prince performed this at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008. He also played Sarah McLachlan's "
" and The Beatles' "

The song returned to the UK singles chart in August 2010 after
auditionee Hollie Burns performed it on the show.
According to the book
Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless
, this song was inspired by Thom's obsession with a stranger. He was infatuated with a woman who was out of his league, who he'd never met but frequently saw in bars, and he found himself following her around. When he finally got himself drunk enough to build up the courage to confess his obsession, she freaked out.

The first country this charted in was Israel.
Lea Michele and Dean Geyer performed this on
in the 2013 episode "Guilty Pleasures."
This was featured on the TV series
in the 2014 episode "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics."
Charlotte Church cites this as the song she wished she'd written. "It's just transcended all musical boundaries," she told
. "People who are into hip-hop or hard house or whatever like it. There's just something about that song that, no matter who you are, you're going to respond pretty positively to it - especially in a festival situation."

Flux from Detroit, Mi
It must suck for the band that they have to keep singing this song. They wrote it in their angsty adolescence. They must've grown out of that by now. But because the song is so popular, they're chained to singing about how they're a "creep" and a "weirdo" until the end of their days.
Aaron from Los Angeles, Ca
This is a song about Thom Yorke not belonging on earth.
Georgine from Cleveland, Oh
I love this song! One of my faces. Until I read the lyrics...I apologize here for my mistake... I thought he was saying I'm a creep, but I'm a winner! Which actually still makes sense with the lyrics. As far as suicidal, if someone feels that way they could listen to Frosty the Snowman and still be suicidal. This song is great!
Laura from El Paso, Tx
I love when the guitar comes in right before the chorus. It acts as a musical stutter that would represent the actual stutter a "loser" like the character singing might actually have. This song is a masterpiece that musically supports the angst of the lyrics.
Deethewriter from Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation
Despite unprecedented adulation from the local teenies, Thom remains a wracked and tortured soul, as here he discusses the inner meaning of 'Creep'; "It's about (pause)... It's about sympathy (longer pause)... This is all very hard (very long pause)... As soon as I say this everyone will take the piss. It's just, I think part of me is always looking for someone to turn around, buy me a drink, give me a hug and say it's all right. Because I just go off on one. For days I'm unbearable, I can't talk to people. And it shocks me because I'm still doing it. I want to be alone and I want people to notice me both at the same time. I can't help it." [Melody Maker, October 23, 1993 -'British Creeps Storm America' Article]
Dusty from St. Louis, Mo
reminds me of Nirvana
William from Jacksonville, Nc
i listen to the scala version of this song quite alot after hearing out of a biopic the social network. i relate to it. 7th to 9th grade i was madly in love and lusted over a beautifull girl whose name Luisa Smith only thing was is we were friends and she didnt like me that kind of way. now she attracts attention of all sorts of guys on facebook and shes pretty popu.lar . im not in her life anymore but the song -the scientist by coldplay- places these memories of my youth back in my head and she has everything to do with it
Lily from Los Angeles, Ca
Did the Pretenders write this, or did they just do a cover of it?
Ben from P.c., Fl
Not a bad song, but not enough to make me care what else they've put out... especially after some of the comments from stuck-up "true fans" in here. Get a grip, will ya?
Jen from Nv
Thank you for saying that, person below me. It's true...
Brigitte from Ottawa, On
Wow, why are you getting so upset because some people like this one song from Radiohead?? It's not like they think they're Radiohead's greatest fans, they just like the song. Good for you if you can name all the songs and sing all the lyrics, I'll tell Radiohead to send you a medal.
Erica from Nairobi, Kenya
I saw the video just the other day.the song just sounds depressing kind of like someone who is seriously misunderstood.I like radiohead.
Kala from Eugene, Or
this was mine and my ex's song, i could relate to much i guess.
Grace from Seattle, Wa
I love radiohead to death they are amazing and my favorite band for life, and it upsets me when a crap song like this is what they are known for by a bunch of posers who think they like them. i agree with you person who commented below me.
Cryssie from El Paso, Tx
I can't stand the fact that Radiohead is known for just this song. They have so many great songs out there that are way better. Oh and just because you like or even love this song, does NOT make you a true fan...
Victoria from Chicago, Il
sad song, but it's easy to relate to
Zingo Z I N G O from Harper's Ferry Wva, Wv
I first noticed this song in the early 90's in Honolulu Hi. , actually , in a strip club called Saigon Passion - I was downin a few chilly ones on ice (that's how they do it in Hi) and it was kinda empty because it was the middle of the day !...and well, I do remember a most beautiful asian girl on the stage and she was wearing a blonde wig while dancing to this song nudie like...wow ! she did float around the stage like a feather too...I'd never heard this song before...she's floating around there , kinda ladedah like, and I'm royally and insanely content at life all the sudden, and then again, all the sudden, out of nowhere that big cranking guitar chord shatters the whole atmosphere and seems to shake the building along with it..whew!!!. After that I gave her a 5 dollar tip whereas, it's usually a single.
So after a month or so I come back to the mainland and hear the song on the radio (censored version)...oh man, what a vision I just had !...but it wasn't the same ya know.
Anyway, being boring for a life now back home and no longer content with life... all I could think was it some Hollies or ELO remake?
I never really got an answer from anybody since ya hardly ever heard it on the east coast. I do thank the above comments for clearing that up - it is based on "The Air that I Breathe" hmmm...But what ELO song am I thinking of ? it's that same bridge , ya know ?

Oldpink from New Castle, In
Nice bit of contrast on this one, starting off with wistful lyrics and pretty instrumentation, then crashing directly into blazing cacophony.
Good lyrics, and it very well expresses frustration at oneself and others.
Austin from Smallsville,new England, --
This song was featured in the video game Rock Band.And yes I did like this song before the game came out.
Antimony C. Mccoy from N/a, Ct
You don't have to be depressed to relate to this song, everyone has felt this way whether it was a romantic or platonic feeling. Anyway, the song is basically about Thom (or whoever this song is about, though I think it is at least a partly personal experience) thinking he has no chance with this girl who he is crazy about and even though he's bitter about her not liking him, he can't bring himself to stop liking her and hates himself for it. I think that the girl might be someone who just belongs to a different crowd. There are a ton of songs about this same type of experience and even though his affection for this girl seems to be just attraction, obsession, and curiosity it's sad and raw and angsty and awesome and beats all the others because it's so real.
Morgan from Hanover, Md
I love this song but it makes me so depressed.
Jan from Antwerp, --
This is my most favourite song ever. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1993 while I was on a study trip in London, on the tube. Some 'indie' looking youngsters were playing it on their portable radio. I asked them what song this was and who played it, got off the tube and went straight to a HMV store to buy the record.
And I've remained a Radiohead fan since that moment.
Amanda from Bartlett, Tn
This Is The Best Song Ever. Im Not Like A Depressing Guy Or Anything But I Connect With This Song So Much. Theres So Much Life In This Song. Its Just Simply Beautiful.
Michelle from Brook Park, Mn
I absolutely LOVE this song! I first heard it on the radio and then was able to hear it again on the game Rockband. My sister has it on her i-pod...im so jealous...
Pat from Albuquerque, Nm
I've heard this song on the radio quite a few times, and yeah it's kinda creepy, but it really is about the teenage angst and lack of confidence young guys get around women. Been there in high school and college, many years ago.
Louise from Newcastle, United Kingdom
I can relate to this song too, which is depressing :(
Jordan from Toronto, On
I can totally relate to this song, as can almost everyone. This song is a true underdog anthem.
Mirna from Portoviejo, Ecuador
korn covered it in their unplugged
Susan from Tampa, Fl
The first live performance on American Television for this song was on the Arsenio Hall talk show. They were unknown to most at the time and their performance on Arsenio put them on the map - what a truthful song - I really get sick and tired of everyone's typical bull sh*t
Vince from Orlando, Fl
I've played this song in Rock Band over a hundred times.
I, myself, love it, but don't believe it is their best hit. I like Fake Plastic Trees and Karma Police.
Sally from South Orange, Nj
I think everyone can relate to this song at some point in their lives. I did all through high school. I still feel this way sometimes. Beautiful, haunting, disturbing song. I can't believe it was #31 on VH1's list of top 90s songs! The Backstreet Boys are No. 3! What's up with that?
Leah from Pittsfield, Ma
i hate hearing the "you're so very special" radio cut. it really does degrade the meaning of the song, the anger. It's funny how one word changes everything, but it really does. This song helps me out alot of times. I love "I don't care if it hurts, I just want to have control." This to me means staying off of drugs, fitting in with everyone else, and several things in my day to day life. Ive heard some anorexic girls relate it to more physical aspects..My favorite version is a live in Tokyo on youtube where he improvs "I want a perfect body...so i can look good next to you" very cheeky.
Michael from Morris County, Nj
Good song. Depressing as hell, though.
Madalyn from Greensburg, Pa
one of the best songs of the 90's in my opinion...even top ten to date
Aimee from Ughville, Ma
I do agree with Thom Yorke. This song is so good, but whenever I hear "So very special" when its played on the radio, I just cringe. This song is so simple, but it means so much.
Garoud from Arica, Chile
ok..if you can connect then it does it for you..but this is not the best radiohead song (climbing up the walls and piramid song pop up in my mind really fast on that category)
BTW, the myth that "they don't play this song on concerts" began in a concert in england when , by half of the show, they haven't play the song and the crowd start chanting it, the band start following but tom only cross his arms and extended the microphone to the people...
Diane from Winnipeg, Canada
I love this tune, its really a song for the underdog and I think a lot of people can connect and take comfort in the lyrics.
Mike from Hueytown , Al
Love this song. I always looked at it as a sarcastic mockery
Kelly from Liverpool, England
actually i read in a interview with tom Yorke that it was about a really bad experience he had with a period of unrequited love, well more like he was obsessed with a girl and basically she didnt want to know. And also he doesnt like to sing it any more because it brings back memories of a bad time.
Thom Yorke from Northhamptonshire, England, England
One violent night, after a stormy session, Jonny got particularly violent. He grabbed Ed by the throat and slammed him against the wall. We had to jump Jonny to calm him down. As a punishment, we sent him to the corner of the room, on a stool with the dunce cap for a time out. After an hour or so, we returned from the local bar and found Jonny scribbling the lyrics of Creep on the wall.
Nowadays, whenever we get in a creative rut, we send Jonny to the wall, that bonny lad of ours. He's getting tired of it, though. Poor chap.
James from Washington, Dc
This certainly is radiohead's best song and it was a time when they were still concentrating on grunge rock but their later albums were more about experiments..so this is the pure radiohead song to me
Noe from Los Angeles, Ca
When I hear this song it reminds me of all the places that I felt different.
Melquiades from Cali
This song is nothin compared to any song in ok computer. Its good but not too much.
Joe from Fort Meade, Md
As for Yorke changing the words for the radio edit, I heard a cover band play this song last night and while the band was spot on and did a great job they used the "very special" edit and it totally killed the vibe for me.
Joe from Fort Meade, Md
I could see Jonny doing that. Kind of backfired on him though. Wonder what his opinion of the song is now.
Instantmagic from San Antone, Tx
Joe from Chicago, Ar
i can relate to this song as well.....it reminds me of my ex girlfriend but it reminds me of more important things as well.
Rizzee from Darjeeling, India
I hummed this song for what maybe the worst days of my life when I was so freakin down & I loved this song because it portrayed the exact sentiment .May be not all the lyrics but the tune and the 2nd & 3rd stanzas.
This was the only RADIOHEAD song i ever liked and the people who like this song better check out THE VERVE'S"DRUGS WONT WORK " or some thin like that.
It was another favourite alongwith this one
Cole from San Jose, Ca
The only RadioHead song I like. While listening I picture the narrator sitting on a bench with a gun in his hand, contemplating suicide.
Mara from Coruscant, England
I really, really love and understand this song because I've felt that way before.
Adam from Southampton, England
the first time i heard radiohead when i was younger i was scared of them but when i heard creep when i was older it just amazed me. i thought he wrote the song about me because thats my day to day thinking. can relate ot thioms eyes problems asd well and its the best song ever written!!!! the outsiders anthem!!
Sam from Portsmouth, Va
If you never were related in a way to this song in high school or middle school you are not human.
Lauri from Lahti, Finland
This song is actually a grunge-parody, and that's why it became a huge hit in US. irony is maybe too hard theme for americans :D
Lucius from Gaston, In
Heh, I can relate to every word, and every sentiment of this song so much...
Emily from Wirral, England
I love this song...it's like I can just relate to it SO much, it puts into words exactly how I felt.
Leon from Waterbury, Ct
I really like this song but I can't stand Radiohead at all. They really annoy the hell out of me. This is the only song I like by them. Otherwise, I don't care about'em at all.
Chris from Derwood, Md
This song kicks ass. It really captures some of my high school expiriences with all of the anger and the feeling of insecurity that your not good enough for popular or "Special" people.
Laura from Eden Prairie, Mn
I think this is one of the great songs. It so describes that feeling of not just being good enough. That feeling of being in the corner at a party lookiing at that person that seems so perfect and you just feel like a such a loser (creep), because you know that you don't have a chance with them. And you wish you had a perfect body, whish you were "special" like them. But your not, so you just sit there from afar and all you can do is watch.
Trenton from Minneapolis , Mn
I never thoguth he was acually singing about how he thinks he's a Creep. I always thoguth it was sarcastic and angry. He likes someone but she's to stuck up orpopular to be interested in him. So he's a "creep" and a wierdo.
Sean from Glasgow, Scotland
has anyone seen this flash video of the song?
really brings out lots of things that i thought were in the song, suicidal tendancies, feelings of unworth etc. etc... and it's a nice bit of flash at any rate.
Dan from Sydney, Australia
acoustic version is awesome
Christine from Sunderland, England
I wouldn't say it's their best song but the Creep live at Kroq, acoustic version is something else. Thom's voice is so amazing.
Brittany from Springfield, Ma
I think with songs like these you never really no the truth.. would would ahve to go into a more deep mode of thinking. But in the back of my head i kinda feel that this song is about numerious things such as the feeling of being alone or sad and unwanted.. then self destruvtion comes into play and so forth from there on Thom feels liek a'creep' and his emotions are almost unexplainble . thats my theory
Rob from Birmingham, England
I agree with Michelle to a certain extent, I think it is quite a simple and straightforward. Its that the person he see's is in a different world and you know damn well you can't touch her. So much so that even if you look at her you can generally feel deep down that you are a proper creep who's intention is primarilly to look at her. Its sad that someone can be so down on themselves and openly admit they are not good enough
Dave from Eastbourne, England
Not only is this a great song it got me listening to Radiohead in the first place, maybe thier are a few people in the world who like radiohead because thier poular but they arent really that kind of band most radiohead fans loved radiohead when they first heard them and wether the first song they heard was Creep, Paranoid Android or any song before since and inbetween is immaterial, you find with alot of bands fans like to say they were there first and they knew about them before anyone else and want to persuade people they are therefore bigger fans, people that really like the music though should recognise that the bigest fans are the ones who love the music most and who the band and the music mean the most too, they should also be pleased that others are getting the same enjoyment from perticular music as themselves these people are true fans, not people who want to be the biggest fans purly to boost thier egos, anyways great song.
Ana from Louisville, Ky
yeah ok this song can yes, be related to teenage feelings about low self esteem and how theyre not good enough and whatnot. You can listen to this song and compare yourself to a popular person or something. But the real meaning of the song and why it was written has to do with being in love with someone who you think is absolutely perfect and then feeling as if you're not good enough for them. Every time I listened to this song I felt as if that was the meaning, and recently Ive actually been having that problem. So I looked up the meaning of the song and sure enough, it was true. This is my absolute favorite song because of what Im going through right now and how completely true it is.
Darksoul from Toronto, Canada
Great song. Can totally relate.
Robert from Leeds, England
the dullest most over rated band ever, gimme guns n roses any day
Kate from San Diego, United States
"But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here"
yeh,i think its about suicide
the person singing is so sad and doesn't see the point in life anymore
Tim from Kilkenny, Ireland
Apparently Jonny Greenwood recorded those cool guitar crunches in the lead-up to the chorus so he could ruin a song he didn't like.
T from Youngstown, Oh
This song is definately top 25 of all time. The feeling that it gives the listener is something I think every teenager has felt - sitting in their bedroom on a Saturday night - when they are all sure there's something way better going on - but in a adult situation - not feeling worthy of this person whos so f'n special - i wish i was special but i'm a creep , i'm a weirdo what the hell am i am doing here - i dont belong here...........
Leona from Edinburgh, Scotland
Amanda from East Grand Forks - I get what you mean about all the mindless people in the world who only seem to go with the flow when it comes to their taste in music but to say that all post 1993Radiohead fans are not 'real' fans is a bit harsh! I was only 10 when Creep came out and never even knew they existed. I have a passion for music and I love Radiohead. I'd never heard of the band until 1997 when they released Paranoid Android in the UK and I loved it. Ever since then I've been an avid listener of their music and I'm not a kick in the arse off owning all of their albums. Does this make me a good or a bad Radiohead fan in your opinion? firstname.lastname@example.com
James from Exeter, England
Rumour has it that it was written in the toilets of the Lemon Grove, A club I live 30 seconds away from.
That club is the main university club, and all the jocks and chavs go there, and Thom Yorke would NOT have fitted in there. Maybe the song's about that.
Andy from Kent, England
I read somewhere that the song is about a stalker????
Nader from Durham, Nc
I'm not sure Amanda is talking about, since Creep was on one of their earliest commercial releases. People who liked Radiohead after that aren't automatically just fans because the band got popular. I wasn't ten years old yet when this song came out--excuse me for being a young Radiohead fan. Anyhow, the acoustic version of this song is absolutely heart-wrenching, even moreso than the studio album track, perhaps because it feels even more rough and unprocessed, and that much more poignant.
Ian from New York, Ny
Good point about this song being like Smells Like Teen Spirit. They even sound the same. Oh and to Hassan of my native NY; don't lose hope when it comes to this kind of stuff. Thom is saying that he was a creep but that doesn't mean that he was. So if you think that your a creep just remember that Thom York thought the same way and now look where he is.
Amanda from East Grand Forks, Mn
radiohead was never recognized by the masses until "creep" came out... and it doesn't make any sense to me, because this isn't even their best. it's actually alot like "smells like teen spirit" by nirvana. both bands got a whole new flock of fans when those two songs were released - fans who call themselves real fans, when really they only cared when the bands got popular.
Billy Ross from Hagerstown, Md
one of my all-time favorite songs. it really fits and feels good if you listen to it when you're sad or angry. when i listen to it in these times, it makes me break down. it's so touching
Marian from Minnetonka, Mn
If you dont like this song its only because you cant relate to it. To anyone thats ever felt like that its like an anthem.
Sean from Calabasas, Ca
I heard (but I dought this is true) that this was one of Thom'd friends suicide note and Thom just added The line's Im a Creep Im a Weirdo as a chours
Meg from Worcester, Ma
First Radiohead song I ever heard. I could really relate, it's pretty good.
Duane from Bowling Green, Ky
About them playing it at shows - I saw them last October and they definitely played it...it made me happy even though it's nowhere near my favourite song...it also got me twenty bucks b/c a guy I know bet me they wouldn't play it...just thought I'd share that.
Ty from Niagara Falls, Canada
I read that before Creep came out, Yorke was embarassed by how whiny it sounded and didn't want to release it but the band talked him into it and it became a big hit. Now of course, they've moved on and are pretty sick of it.
Brian from Mayfield Heights, Oh
I read that this song was about this woman that Thom saw in lots of cafes and things that were very trendy, and therefore not his scene, but he kinda stalked her for a while...if you want the full story, go read "Hysterical and Useless" , which is the best Radiohead book I have ever read.
Katharine from Burnsville, Mn
props to Mel from England. this song definately does not suck and who cares if its not their best! ITS A GREAT SONG!
Hillary from Seattle, Wa
I've read before that Creep is actually a song about self-destruction.
Kristi from Ivor, Va
This song, while I love it, sucks compared to their other works and I don't blame them if they hated it.
Jenny from Everett, Wa
The band basically got tired of playing the same song and not getting recognition for their other works. I went to concert in 2001 and they didn't play it, but it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Personally, I feel Creep is definetly not one of their greatest hits, but it at least got the attention this band deserves.
Michelle from Shingle Springs, Ca
The song has been analyzed by many people, and theories of what it's about range from Thom's terrifying childhood to Thom's deceasd wife. Thom, however, was not an abused child, and he's never had a wife. At certain shows, Thom offers a partial explanation of the song. Written while he was at Exeter, he says, it tells the tale of a drunken student who tries to get attention of a woman he's attracted to; in the end, he lacks the self-confidence to pull it off.
Mel from Norwich, England
This song is the best song ive ever heard it means a lot to me
Max from Montreal, Canada
I didnt mean never since the creation because they played it in their first tours, i meaned in the recently. They played creep once in the whole year of 2001 and it was in Oxford (where it all started) and it is better this way.
Julie from Toronto, Canada
I've been to two Radiohead concerts and they played Creep both times.
-Julie, Toronto
Max from Montreal, Canada
The band never plays this song in show. in fact they totally hate this song because it is the only song that was recognize on pablo honey in america. The song My Iron Lung on the Bends is about how they hate the public who only loved this song and did not recognize their work on other songs.
Stefano from Old Bridge, Nj
Also, at least on my US version of the album, Pablo Honey, that this song is on, the band actually included the radio edit as a hidden, unlisted track at the end of the album.
~Stefano - NJ, USA

What's wrong with a DL? DL should be reserved for definition lists, e.g. glossaries. Strictly speaking, the title page has no definition list. E.g., the *term* "This version" is not defined by the string/hyperlink "http://.....". And, the *term* "Authors" is not defined by "Hakon Lie". True, "Hakon Lie" may be the author, but the *term* "author" has significance beyond someone's name. The table element does not come with any implied semantic. No semantics is better than wrong semantics. The examples in HTML40 confirms my understanding of what DL is. But the last paragraph does not: Another application of DL, for example, is for marking up dialogues, with each DT naming a speaker, and each DD containing his or her words. This is tag abuse! May I ask for an errata? An secondary reason for using tables is that their formatting is more consistent than the DL element, and they arguably look better than DLs do. > Besides: you're not following: ... > -- http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH/#gl-table-markup Thanks for pointing this out, I will look into it. -h&kon H å k o n W i u m L i e email@example.com http://www.w3.org/people/howcome World W i d e Web ConsortiumReceived on Wednesday, 10 February 1999 05:02:56 UTC

Precision Micro produces miniature diaphragms for leading Scandinavian microphone OEM
The drive towards miniaturisation throughout industry places increasing demands on the providers of technology and services solutions aimed at the manufacture of metal and plastic parts. OEMs demand stricter and stricter tolerances, repeatability, and above all accurately fabricated parts cost-effectively produced in volume. Many established fabrication processes struggle to keep pace with this demand, and in the area of precision metal parts, photo etching is fast becoming the "go-to" technology solution for numerous feature rich and complex applications where traditional processes fail to deliver. This article looks at the unique characteristics of photo etching and analyses its use in the manufacture of miniature microphones for a Scandinavian OEM.
Process choice
Many OEMs grappling with the manufacture of new products and applications end up benchmarking the various fabrication technologies that could provide a manufacturing solution and best fit the geometries of the part to be produced, the metal being processed, its thickness, the required quality of cut, and the speed with which the manufacturing operation needs to be completed.
There are some givens when it comes to process selection, Cost per part and quality are key and fairly universal drivers. When benchmarking technologies that are able to produce "precision" metal parts specifically, most OEMs consider that the viable alternatives are stamping, punching, laser cutting and the lesser known photo etching technique.
Photo etching is a metal processing technology that produces stress-free, flat, components by selective etching or corroding metal through a photo-resist mask. It is especially well suited to the manufacture of precision parts such as grids and meshes, lead frames, fuel cell and heat exchanger plates, precision springs, medical instruments and implants, and decorative parts such as automotive interior trim.
When compared with conventional production processes, it has a number of inherent advantages, key among which are the ability to produce parts without degrading material properties, the fact that there is almost no limit on part complexity, and the ability to process a huge range of metals including highly corrosive resistant titanium, and high temperature alloys, such as Inconel.
Reduced tooling costs and design freedom
When looking at conventional processing technologies, each suffers from a number of drawbacks, key among which is the degradation of the material being processed due to high impact, or in the case of laser cutting the use of intense heat. However, the other key differentiator is in the area of tooling, which can be illustrated by comparing photo etching to stamping. The tooling for photo etching is digital, so there is no need to start cutting expensive and difficult to adapt steel moulds. This means that large quantities of products can be reproduced with absolutely zero tool wear, ensuring that the first and millionth part produced are precisely the same.
Also, as the tooling is "virtual", it can be adapted and changed extremely quickly and economically, making it ideally suited for anything from prototype runs to high volume production runs. This allows for design optimisation without financial penalty, and helps ensure a low-risk entry strategy as well as facilitating easy product updating. Turnaround time using photo-tools is about 90% less than that for stamped parts. Stamping requires substantial investment in mould fabrication which is not only costly but in some instances can take from six to ten months to complete, compared with a few hours for etching.
The economy and adaptability of the tooling for photo etching is a key stimulus to design freedom, along with the ability to produce what may seem like impossibly complicated products. As the cost of creating prototypes is so low there is no barrier to entry with the technology, with complex designs being produced in a matter of days and design iterations in a few hours. Photo etching opens the door for innovation and pushes back the barriers that constrain many design engineers and allows for the manufacture of parts many thought impossible.
Complex part fabrication
Many of today's products are extremely complex and also very fragile. Indeed, in many instances, geometric complexity and the requirement for extremely exacting tolerances and precision mean that photo etching is not just "a" potentially desirable manufacturing process, but is, in fact, the "only" technology able to make certain products.
Typically, when stamping, part complexity adds cost, whether in low, medium, or high volume applications. The complexity of a product means the necessity for a complex mould tool, and complex tooling means increased costs, increased potential for tool failure, and increased lead-times for satisfactory completion. Photo etching is unaffected by the level of tool complexity, and it makes no difference in terms of costs or lead-time how complex the geometry of the part is and therefore the complexity of the digital tooling.
But photo etching has the ability to produce finer detail than conventional machining techniques, and all with minimal if any degradation and deformation of the metal being processed and little to no likelihood of burrs or defects. Failure rates are minute, and unlike in the stamping process, every part produced is absolutely flat, which in some application is vital.
Photo etching delicate microphone diaphragms
Precision Micro, Europe's leading photo etching company, works closely with a Scandinavian OEM specialising in miniature microphones.
Miniaturisation of microphones opens up huge possibilities in the entertainment industry allowing for creative expression in the musical and theatre industry and also throughout film and TV.
Designing microphones with optimal sound characteristics, exceptional consistency, and outstanding reliability is not easy, and as such Precision Micro's OEM customer draws on more than six decades of world-class microphone design experience, challenging industry standards and pushing innovation in the quest for superior sound reproduction.
Each microphone is assembled by hand at the company's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. It takes at least 200 individual, hands-on steps to assemble a microphone, and during the process, each one is calibrated up to 15 times before final approval.
The huge attention to detail and precision in the manufacturing process makes supplier selection critical, and all metal parts used in the miniature microphones must be fabricated to exacting tolerances.
Precision Micro was chosen to photo-etch a selection of small diaphragms which vibrate millions of times in response to sound. These vibrations are converted into an electrical current which becomes the audio signal.
Each diaphragm is tiny, measuring around 4 mm x 6 mm long (necessary as in some microphone applications they are knitted into the wigs of actors), and are etched from 100 micron Sandvik stainless steel, formed, and gold plated.
Precision Micro etch in excess of 250,000 diaphragms per annum, and they are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances (+/- 20 microns) which are less than the industry standard minimum tolerance of +/- 25 microns.
Sandvik was chosen as the diaphragm needs to be able to flex in-situ, and because of this material integrity is absolutely critical. Although the part is too small to be manufactured by laser cutting, both it and the stamping process would induce degradation in the metal which is avoided through the use of photo etching.
As a hardened and tempered precision stainless steel, Sandvik offers many valuable properties. The chemical composition of the steel and the specially developed state-of-the-art hardening process give the material a unique combination of mechanical properties, flatness, and corrosion resistance. The excellent surface finish, the very low amount of non-metallic inclusions, and the high hardness ensure superior fatigue properties.
Sandvik is particularly well suited for etching precision products since the virtual absence of residual stresses enables the strip to maintain its shape throughout the etching process. The hardness of the steel means that stamping is often not a viable fabrication process for this material.
Precision Micro was chosen to fabricate the diaphragm in its OEM customer's microphones due to its expertise in photo etching, and also because of the unique characteristics of the process. In this application – in common with many others that Precision Micro work on – the overall integrity of the metal parts are vital, and the fact that photo etching induces no degradation in the metal being processed is a huge advantage. Add to this the exacting tolerances that can be achieved using photo etching, and the fact that it can be applied to virtually any metal, and it is unsurprising that the process is being seen as the go-to technology for the manufacture of precision metal parts.

How Long Does It Take You To Write a Blog Post?
Posted on 31st October, 2007
Some bloggers may have the natural ability to write posts faster than their readers could read them. I guess I am somewhere in the middle, I might be able type a tad faster than the average person but when it comes to completing a post, I usually need a few hours to do so.
Short posts that require no research usually take me less than 15 minutes. But I prefer to take my time when writing long posts that require a good deal of research. My problem is I often know what to write but deciding how to write it can consume most of my time.
So I spend more time thinking then actually writing down my thoughts. English being my second language (well technically it's the third) doesn't help either.
If I have a great post idea, I usually jot down the points I plan to write in my to-do list. I would continue to add points, sometimes over the course of a few days, before I actually sit down and write the whole post for a couple of hours. The researching part takes most of the time.
That's how I come up with some posts like this
However for a topic that I know a lot about, I take about 3 to 5 hours to come up with the content and actually write it.
- Beginners Guide to Making Money On the Internet
- Digg Traffic vs. Google Traffic – An AdSense Click Through Rates Analysis
The past few weeks have been a busy time for me, on and offline. I'm launching new blogs and websites one after another. So that has been taking most of my time. I am also gearing up my pay per click campaigns to take advantage of the coming holiday shopping season in the US .
If you are not yet involved in affiliate program or PPC marketing, you are leaving a lot of money on the table.
Sadly, I have to scrap my previous goal to make US500 from text link ads monthly after the recent PageRank shake up. While I'll continue to sell text link ads on some blogs, they are no longer my priority. If I make money from them, then that's a bonus. Those blogs will be turned into a resource center for some of my PPC campaigns promoting affiliate programs.
It's time to stop allowing Google PageRank dictates how much money you could make from your sites. You need to explore other monetization options and diversify your revenue streams in addition to writing paid posts or text link ads.
My only ad revenue that depends on PageRank is my text link ads. However, since I've been involved with affiliate marketing since 1997 and actively using pay per click marketing since 2002, PageRank has little importance to me as far as making money from the Internet is concern.
If you depend on your blogs to make money, you can start looking into selling advertising inventory directly from your website. I am seeing this practice becoming more common these days where more popular blogs such as DoshDosh.com, JohnChow.com and even ProBlogger.net are jumping into the bandwagon.
Anyway, back to the earlier question, how long does it take you to write a blog post?

So we've established that drought -- at least from a human standpoint -- is pretty bad news. It would make sense, then, to try and predict it, right? Certainly, but then we face the age-old problem of forecasting the weather.
Currently, weather prediction models provide us a good guess at what the weather will do in a given area based on past trends and current conditions. But weather is chaotic, and the atmospheric anomalies that contribute to drought are numerous and unpredictable. As such, scientists can only predict nonseasonal droughts a month or so out. (For more information on the limits of weather prediction, read "How far in advance should I check the weather forecast?")
Can we combat drought? Cloud seeding techniques offer some degree of control of precipitation levels. Cloud seeding involves the use of airborne chemicals to kick-start the formation of clouds in the atmosphere. The American Meteorological Society acknowledges 10 percent increases in post-seeding precipitation, while the United States National Academy of Sciences still isn't convinced [source: Eckhardt].
Climate scientists predict that cutting carbon dioxide emissions translates into wetter weather -- at least while CO2 levels are actively decreasing [source: Science Daily]. CO2 increases, on the other hand, tend to decrease precipitation.
If we can't predict drought all that well, the least we can do is better prepare. Most drought preparation and mitigation comes in the form of smart, conservative water usage. This tactic incorporates everything from shorter showers and low-volume toilets to drought-resistant planting and improved irrigation systems.
When severe socioeconomic drought ravages a region, relief efforts must often address various symptomatic problems that arise from the drought. For example, national and international humanitarian responses to the 2011 drought in Somalia involved not only food and water to relieve famine but also vaccines, refugee housing, health care and deployment of security forces.
In the end, drought comes down to the weather and water cycles in the environment. Our best bets for coping with it may boil down to water conservation, emergency preparedness and an increased consciousness of changes in Earth's climate.

Different Types of Maritime Injuries
The cardinal rule is that any form of injury sustained by passengers and crew members aboard sea-going vessels in passable seas are protected by international maritime law and federal legislation. Although the provisions for travelers are distinct from regulations covering seafarers, injury claims are comparable in certain aspects. There are various kinds of maritime injuries that can be traced to different sources. These can be substandard and malfunctioning equipment, negligence of a crewmember, inadequate training for personnel, and dangerous practices. Each one is a basis for possible injury claims. Seamen are entitled to financial compensation if the injury is the product of a coworker's lack of care. You can file for financial damages as per the provision of the law of admiralty.
Classification of Maritime Injuries
You have to be familiar with the major categories of maritime injuries. The first category is injury to the person's spinal cord. This can be a terrible blow at the back or penetration by any foreign object that will ultimately lead to ruptures or dislocation. This is quite serious because it causes complete or partial paralysis which stems from inability to transmit messages to and from the human brain. Full paralysis means that the person loses all functions relating to sensation and motion. On the other hand, fractional injury leaves the victim with some sensory functions. This is often referred to as anterior, posterior or central cord disorders. A second category is amputation of limbs or legs due to the gravity of the injury. Some complications include infection, hemorrhage and shock. Brain impairment is another life-threatening situation that is caused by blows to the head. Victims may be very unfortunate so as not to recover from unconsciousness. The only result is a state of coma and eventual death.
Possible Causes of Injuries
Injuries are caused by accidents such as fires, sinking or collisions involving luxury cruisers. Majority of these incidents can be traced to human errors. Disasters involving fishing boats are also caused by the rawness of fishermen or severe weather conditions which were not predicted by the sailors. Accidents also befall cargo vessels and oil tankers which are greatly combustible and can easily cause explosions. Sea-based oil rig accidents are also common and are extremely hazardous because of the massive machinery involved. Again, these are usually the result of neglect of workers and fall squarely on the shoulders of the ship or company management. The services of an adept maritime injury lawyer are needed to resolve such issues.
Basic Provisions of Jones Act
Fortunately, there is a federal law referred to as the Jones Act, which extends support for seamen who incur injuries while on tour of duty. This enactment widens the stipulations of the Federal Employers Liability Act to include seafarers in medical treatment for injured workers. Injured seamen can claim damages from employers when death or harm is the result of neglect by the owner or co-worker. It also compels the employers to provide workers a safe and sound workplace. This piece of legislation protects the welfare of seamen and can be protected through the employment of legal services.

Miles & Miles released in Europe and lands on the Joyce Ramgatie International Country Music Chart In May 2017
Position #79 in the top 200 and #28 in the top 40
The Danny Thompson Band brand new single Last
The Thompson's are very busy writing and recording their next album. Last is the 2nd single releasing to Radio August 30th
Danny and Danielle, do an interview with Chrome & Steel Radio at the Trucking for a Cure show.. (interview is about half way through the podcast)
WOODSTOCK - Every time he performs the song Miles and Miles, Danny Thompson pays tribute to his deceased son, a long-haul truck driver.
Danny Thompson's son Jamie was just 33 when he died in December of 2012, in a collision while driving his rig in Quebec, leaving behind a wife and five children.
"I wrote that song for him but it's not really about his death, it's about the life of a truck driver," he said in a phone interview Thursday.
The Brantford-based band will return to Woodstock for a second year to perform at Pittock Conservation Authority on Sunday, July 31 for a Rockin' the Park event.
"It's a special concert they do once a year for the people in the park, but it is also open to the public," Thompson explains. "There will be loads of energy and we have some trick fiddling. It's going to be a very entertaining show."
The concert, which starts at 8 p.m., is free but park entry fees apply.
Thompson, 57, concedes a lot has happened in the year since he last performed in Woodstock.
Following the release of his single Miles and Miles, Thompson — who has been writing, singing and performing for more than four decades — was nominated for Best New Country Artist by New Music Weekly.
Nashville country music star Sam Hunt, who has performed with Carrie Underwood and Kenny Chesney, won the honour in 2015.
Recorded in Nashville, Miles and Miles has been getting airplay at stations both north and south of the border. A video was also shot at Sharp Transportation in Cambridge.
The song got the attention of a Nashville recording studio Lamon Records, who offered the band a record deal for an album also named Miles and Miles.
A second single, Nowhere Road, also about truck drivers, is soon to be available.
The music has also resonated with the trucking community and Thompson said they recently played the Fergus Truck Show and will play at Trucking for a Cure on Sept. 24. They will also be shooting a new music video during the fundraiser for Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Ontario.
Thompson's first album Rockin' Myself to Sleep was released in the late 1980s.
The Danny Thompson Band includes Thompson's 19-year-old daughter Danielle on piano and vocals, son Jordan, 21, on bass, Darin Driscol on lead guitar, Devon Turnbull on drums and Katie Korfman on fiddle.

This past week the final master molds were made from the remaining batch of sculpts and half of that was turned into production molds. The remaining production molds should be finished this week allowing us to complete the rest of the metal casting next weekend.
The much publicized label printing issue has now been resolved and we are back to prepping packages to go out. Thanks to Endicia for providing simple and usable software, we can now print both domestic AND international labels on the same printer. Two bins of domestic packages which included DETONATOR LEVEL shipped out Friday and there are two more international bins that should go out tomorrow. Once that has been processed, packages that include the Bomb Kits will begin shipping.
Thanks for your patience. We are just as eager to get the inventory out of the studio as you are to receive it! Shas'tan is even willing to lend a paw to help with the packaging!
I received the remaining resin base inserts and a handful of Rocket bikes this past weekend. The remaining bikes will arrive in a week or two.
Today is Vicky's and my seventeenth wedding anniversary. I'll be taking the day off today and will back at it again tomorrow to get the fulfillment going again.
See you next week!

Hughes to receive Colorado historic award
Dave Hughes, a Westside leader and historian for more than 30 years, will be presented with Colorado Preservation Inc.'s State Honor Award for Excellence in
Historic Preservation May 21.
The granting will be at the Dana Crawford Awards Dinner in Denver, which the Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS) describes in its publication, West Word, as "Colorado's largest statewide preservation awards assembly, honoring individuals and organizations which have made a significant contribution toward preserving Colorado's built history."
Hughes, who will be 81 May 18, helped found the volunteer OCCHS and still serves as its treasurer. Most recently, he has been spearheading a project to place a granite monument about Colorado City in Bancroft Park - next to the historic cabin that he took a lead role in restoring.
According to Hughes, he first got involved with the Westside while leading the city's Bicentennial celebration in 1976. Initially employed by the merchants' organization, which was seeking a historically focused redevelopment of then-rundown Old Colorado City, he went on to start his own telecommunication business in Old Town and continued to help guide redevelopment efforts. Asked to comment on his honor, the retired Army colonel said, "Well, its nice that Denver gave some recognition to what has been going on for 30 years in Southern Colorado."

Get it right this Christmas with shopping tips from Rachel Riley
Struggling to find the right presents for the right people this Christmas?
We caught up with Countdown and Sky Sports star Rachel Riley to ask how she plans to get it right this year.
The celebrity mathematician tells us how surreptitious questions, wish-lists and spreadsheets, and the ability to pick up on hints are all key.
Rachel spoke to us after lending her mathematical mastermind to our get it right formula alongside Essex University statistician Dr Dai. The formula helps you work out your probability of getting your presents right this Christmas.
Here's what Rachel had to say about Christmas shopping…
On the advantages of maths…
TechTalk: You're known for being particularly good with numbers – does this give you a head start when it comes to buying gifts?
Rachel: 'It gives me a head start in getting the best prices for gifts and making a budget for the large numbers of people to buy for – that doesn't necessarily always equate to sticking to it though!'
On tackling hard-to-buy-for types…
TechTalk: You're the queen of conundrums – how will you tackle the toughest person to buy for on your list?
Rachel: 'I much prefer buying a gift that the recipient can open and hopefully enjoy on Christmas morning rather than having a gift voucher to play with, so I'll try to surreptitiously test the water with present ideas before I take the plunge.
'Often I'll use white lies about friends' mums/boyfriends/puppies being bought certain things to see what kind of reaction my toughie will give, but the old adage of it's the thought that counts is what I go by. And the newer adage of there's always the receipt is the backup!'
On spreadsheets and holding it all together…
TechTalk: How important is being organised when it comes to Christmas shopping? Is it worth knocking up a spreadsheet?
Rachel: 'Absolutely! Every year the number of people I need to buy for seems to get bigger and bigger, especially now being in my 30s so many friends have husbands and babies, without at least a list I'm lost.
'Spreadsheets help even more as I prefer giving presents in person and as the clock ticks down so quickly to Christmas get-togethers you need to be more organised. And all those benefits before you even get to budget planning, you have to love a spreadsheet!'
On the rules and etiquette of hinting…
TechTalk: When it comes to hinting for gifts, is there a code of conduct? How many hints, how obvious, and should the focus be on a single product or broader?
Rachel: 'It's a difficult one but I enjoy giving presents more than receiving and of course everyone wants to buy something the recipient will like, so if you're asked for a hint, it's better to give one.
'Budgets are awkward so make sure you give a range of options so the buyer can feel like they've actually chosen something you'll like, and something they can comfortably afford. Whether that's a list of specific items to choose from or a generic idea depends on your wishlist and how much you trust the taste of the buyer! If you don't give a hint and end up with another pair of socks for the drawer you'll only have yourself to blame.'
On finding the time to shop around work…
TechTalk: Your current TV work includes Countdown and also Sky Sports' Friday Night Football – how will you fit in your Christmas shopping between filming?
Rachel: 'It's lovely having a different schedule each week as it normally means I can beat the crowds and sneak into the shops on a Monday daytime. Inevitably indecision in present-choosing will mean a lot of things still get left to the last minute, which often leads to overspending in a blind panic in my case!
'I always like to make sure I'm buying in the right timeframe so if the present isn't quite right the receipt can come in handy. Price match guarantees in places like Currys PC World where you can get a lot of gifts in one place are a godsend!'
On the perfect gift for stattos…
TechTalk: What's the perfect gift for someone who loves numbers? We'd have a guess at a fitness tracker.
Rachel: 'All of my friends are in competitive leagues with each other on that front actually! I quite like my cycling, so cycle computers let me do the same thing while I'm pedalling rather than stepping.
'I work away from home a lot as well so a connected home device (say a smart thermostat that learns your routines and programs itself) that will allow me to save energy while I'm away is top of my list this year.'
Still struggling for inspiration? Get it right with our top Christmas gifts.

Rediscover Tijuana at San Diego's Mingei Museum
On Friday, July 19th, the Mingei International Museum in San Diego's beautiful Balboa Park presented ReDiscover Tijuana, an evening of art, music and food heralding the 124th anniversary of our metropolitan neighbor to the south. The ultimate goal of the evening, as stated by the Mexican Consulate to the U.S. (one of several dignitaries in attendance), was to bring the experience of Tijuana's past and present to the Mingei, in hope that we would "Rediscover Tijuana for yourselves…on the OTHER side of the border." Your Gringo was on the scene mingling with the event's organizers, exhibitors, chefs, sommeliers and guests.
There were several exhibitors on-hand with information on Tijuana tourism. By the way, gone (or mostly gone) are the days of hard-partying "TJ" by hordes of young people from across the border. With the decline of U.S. tourism to Baja Norte since 2008, the city has largely rebuilt it's entertainment centers to cater to its own. Sixth street (Calle Sexta) is lined with clubs, bars and dives that attract Tijuana's hip, young and trendy. A burgeoning "Baja Med" food revolution is being led by Chef Javier Plascencia, a plethora of fresh ingredients, and bottles of excellent wines from Valle de Guadalupe, another area of Baja Norte that's garnering international attention. Tijuana and Ensenada are both also becoming players in the Baja craft beer movement…a topic which your Gringo can't WAIT to experience and report on!
While presenting the new and evolving side of Tijuana, the entertainment and food also paid homage to the city's past. Did you know that the Caesar's salad was invented in Tijuana in 1927? Chef Julian Plascencia (another noted Tijuana chef and owner of Caesar's, Casa Plascencia and several other restaurants) and his staff were on hand preparing Caesar's salad the traditional way…with a mix, a toss, a plating and a smile.
Representing the region's wine and spirits were Valle de Guadalupe-based L.A. Cetto (the Valley's and Mexico's largest producer) and Los Guerrero Mezcal, who produce a smoky, yet smooth Oaxcan Mezcal exclusively for Tijuana's Chef Miguel Angel Guerrero, another Baja Med pioneer. Your Gringo has visited L.A. Cetto several times in the past and we always enjoy their wines, particularly the nebbiolo, a grape that's fairly unique to Baja's vineyards and makes for a hearty, fruity and delicious wine. I spoke with the representative of Las Guerrero Mezcal and finally discovered why mezcal has that smoky taste that tequila does not: mezcal is aged in clay barrels which gives it its "earthiness".
The evening's entertainment was provided by Tijuana-based musician Roberto Salomon and his fantastic jazz trio. Roberto opened their performance by sharing his impression with the audience of what makes Tijuana great, including it's rich history. Salomon introduced the film that would be playing on the wall behind them as the jazz trio provided the soundtrack. The film, In Caliente, starred Mexico's Delores Del Rio and was made in 1935 at Tijuana's then-famous Agua Caliente Casino.
The evening was sold out and overall appeared to be a success – whether or not a majority of the attendees were moved to truly rediscover Tijuana on the other side of the border or not. It's been a while since your Gringo has visited, and most of my past trips were based on Avenida Revolucion and its artisan shops and taco stands. After spending an evening at the Mingei Museum rediscovering Tijuana, however, I committed to get back down soon to learn more about this historic city's past, and enjoy the tastes, culture and movements that are propelling its future. Look for more Tijuana reporting from El Gringo muy pronto!

I want to share with you something that I wrote in an email back in 12/2004:
Imagine your favorite book. The sort of book that you always like to
have a copy of, because there's always something in there worth
revisiting. Maybe it's the Bible, maybe Shakespeare, maybe the Tao of
Physics. Or, maybe it just happens to be the text book for a course
you're currently taking.
Now imagine you have a thought on that book. Maybe it's an idea you
want to scribble down so you don't forget. Maybe it's a question.
Maybe you just want to talk to somebody about the book, but none of
your friends are into it. How do you find a community of people who
are interested in it?
What if that book was really an e-book, and that e-book had a wireless
internet connection? And, whenever you had such a thought or a
question, with a simple tap of the keys you could connect immediately
to a community of people exactly like you. I like the notion of a
"deep" book, it feels very alice in wonderland to me. Because you're
leaving the original intact, and that's key. You're telling somebody
"Look, we're not gonna get in the way of your enjoyment with this
book. But when you want us, just look a little deeper." The book
itself is merely a reader onto the larger, centralized service that
tracks all the comments, questions, and so on.
Right now, the idea would have to take the form of a PC-based reader.
It's really the only technology that can handle it. But hey, that
could easily mean laptops. What about PDAs? Pretty soon. Need a
better UI. And before you know it, ebooks really will take off.
How does this fit our model? Imagine the kind of content that can be
plugged in to that sort of interface. Who says it has to be a
straight blog/message board? Maybe you work up a quiz on a certain
subject, and you link it directly into the book. And charge people
for it. Not everyone will take it, of course, but some will. Or
maybe you're the author of another book on the subject. Maybe you're
teaching a class that uses this text, and you want to leave a message
for your students. The book itself not only becomes a walking
course on itself, it becomes an infinite number of courses on itself.
By grabbing a "deep" view of Shakespeare you open up the door to
everything you could possibly learn about the subject, all depending
on how you choose to navigate through it. On your terms and your time
line. Want to pay for some stuff? Ok. But there'll be free stuff as
well. You pick.
The question, as always, is revenue. Who pays? Will readers pay to
be a part of this service? Probably not 100%. But they might pay for
certain premium services. Imagine if J.K. Rowling offered sneak peeks
into her books to premium subscribers? And what about content
authors? Do they expect to be paid, or will they pay us to be a part
of the service? The latter is not so very far fetched. Because
basically what you're talking about is a built in community support
forum. All an author needs to do is enable his book to work with this
system and presto, a community might/can/will spring up, and he's
done. He can even make some money back by offering premium
services, as above.
We've finally reached the point where this is possible. Check out Subtext for iPad. I hate when this happens.

I was just thinking about trade shows today. It's beautiful here in Phoenix where I live. The sun is shining and the waterfall is splashing on the rocks in the pool. It is starting to feel a lot like event time. Oh, standing for days on end in an air conditioned room with thousands of other people, all trying to have meaningful conversations.
That got me thinking how much has changed about events, seminars and trade shows these past few years. As little as five years ago, marketing teams were still trying to boost their scan numbers by any methods possible. Everyone got scanned and nurtured, even if they weren't sales-ready yet. We'd trade anything for scans.
- At VMworld I was watching a guy in a clown suit scanning everyone he could pester into it.
- I saw a magician who was better, because he at least worked tech specs into his act.
- The next booth over was giving away a drone and had people standing in line to be scanned.
- At Cisco Live I had the booth staff across from me ask me if I would trade lists so we could both appear to double our ROI. I told her I'd rather take home a phone book to sales team.
New contacts for your ongoing inbound activities are great, but there had better also be some sales-ready leads in there and some potential ROI. You need to get those decision makers over to your best reps as quickly as possible. If you do not capture the right information, they will likely get lost in a sea of scans from an ongoing list of events.
Just handing over the entire list without enough detail is a waste of time. Marketing nurtures, sales sell. From an inbound marketing perspective, it is too early in the buyer's journey for your visitor to care, and too early in the sales cycle for your sales to care. Inside sales wants to start talking about your product because that is exactly what they just spent the last six months learning. How do you make sure you are getting the people in their decision making stage to your closers, and the rest to inbound?
More immediately, most companies have some expensive technical folk and some of their best storytellers available at events. You will want to funnel the best prospects (or ones that indicate they are in the decision-making stage) over to your experts and not send over people that want a free education there at the show. Since everyone on your team should be gathering information and passing it along with that visitor, the easiest way I have found to do this is with printed index cards.
I decide which information we will gather and print it right on the front of the card, leaving space for the visitor information. Plus, they have the entire back of the card to write on if they need more space. Scanners at events are not very good for typing a lot of data into quickly, and if you have more than one person who needs it (and everyone should be gathering information the whole time they are all talking to visitors) It is much easier to scan them, then capture answers to a few questions on an index card. Later, you can match the cards to scanned names on the spreadsheet.
Of course, you still collect contact information from anyone who wants to begin their journey with you. Just be sure you know where they are in their search, research, or decision and act accordingly.
So how does it work?
Print some easy to ask BANT qualifying questions on index cards and make sure there are stacks of them available with pens for everyone to use. As soon as you ask a couple of BANT qualifying questions, it will be apparent where this person is in their journey. Make sure when they are getting scanned that you make it clear that someone will be following up with them, and if they do not want that you can make note to just have them gain access to your content. Everyone will suddenly be very focused on BANT. Awesome! This helps ensure that anyone you scanned and completed an index card for is a good lead to follow-up with soon. The questions you ask will change from industry to industry, customer persona to customer persona, but if you capture BANT criteria your sales reps will love you.
(If you are not familiar with BANT or would like a refresher, read our blog post on BANT here.)
There isn't a sales rep on the planet that will not gratefully accept your leads if you can provide this information. If you bring your salespeople leads that look like this, they will all become your new best friends and will stop ignoring the leads you bring them.
Here is an example of index cards we used at several technology events. After using them a short time everyone from our engineers to the lowliest inside sales rep felt comfortable working four or five questions into their conversations.
Engineers tell me that remembering to ask the BANT questions on the index cards changed the way they interacted with the visitor for the better. Everyone appreciates getting the "sales stuff, money talk" out of the way. It is just awkward and we would all rather avoid it altogether. Having it printed and in front of you makes it easy to get through together. Knowing BANT (and them knowing you know their BANT details) changes everything about the relationship. Your sales reps can start overcoming obstacles they might have otherwise not known until they lost the deal. They might not have even had any idea why they lost it. With BANT criteria answered they will know exactly what issues are there, and avoid being surprised by those issues later.
Booth staff efficiency and our lead quality went up tenfold. Engineers better measured how much time they were spending with visitors and making sure they were spending time with the right people. They told me they had not realized how much time they spent just talking about technology in general. It is fun, but not the best use of precious technical resources during that week. That's what friends and beer is for, not expensive opportunities like events.
The first time I tried the index cards the company that had consulted with me had never obtained one hundred leads in all their years of showing at this event. They weren't even getting very good leads. Looking closely at the leads they had gathered in prior years only 30% could even be considered real leads. Normally they would get through to less than 5% in follow-up. They had very low engagement afterward and almost no close rate.
What they were doing wrong
They, like most technology companies, made sure their company and product names/logos were predominantly displayed on their booth. There were lists of features and benefits. There were logos of clients and partners too. Monitors were standing by for demos. Staff included sales reps and at least two senior engineers to talk technology with anyone who would listen. It was a tribute to their product. They were doing everything exactly like most tech companies have been doing since the dot.com bomb. They scanned anyone and everyone and took any notes they did take in the scanner through the keyboard. This meant none of their notes were useful.
They were hoping for whales, but fishing for sharks. Talking with the company's chief programmer it came up that he had originally architected with very large customers in mind. He had later added enhancements for one very large customer and thought we should be looking more closely at similar companies. On his screensaver he had written, "(our solution here) on a Massive Scale". It was perfect!
I put together a few basic customer personas using the data we could find such as past sales data and past success stories. I know, that's not really enough for a complete persona, but we did what we could — and this messaging resonated well with our target persona at the events.
We did the following
- Changed messaging to appeal to largest of their customer types.
- Made the booth theme very appealing, polished and whimsical. Space theme with moon landing audio, interesting videos playing on large screens, light show, and compelling messaging to pull them in from a distance.
- BANT index cards to determine "sales readiness" to best help them get to an engineer, or on the inbound list.
- Only scan people who verify they want to be followed up with, but everyone goes on nurture list.
- Add index card info to the spreadsheets daily and sent a custom "thank you" referencing the details captured that day from your conversation. Don't spam them not even once.
As a result, we captured 225 BANT leads from people who WANTED us to followed up with them. Improved messaging got them conversations with every one of their major accounts they had been trying to talk with for years. In this example, they wanted to talk to carriers and by the end of the show every major carrier (Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, Cox, etc.) had been scanned, qualified by BANT criteria and wanted to schedule product demos for their teams or obtain a proof of concept (POC). Almost every one of the people we scanned was actionable, 50% engaged in follow-up activities, 30% received demos or free trials, 10% was in pipe.
Not bad for a $5 stack of index cards.
