Online Reservations
Great cocktail list, attentive service and creative, flavorful, contemporary southern cooking.
We had eaten brunch here the other week and were looking forward to having dinner, and we were not disappointed. And they had dessert with dinner unlike brunch. So I had the blueberry cobbler with ice cream, and I highly recommend it. Others in the party had the chocolate souffle which I sampled and boy is it good. Next time!!!
The first courses were delicious. I had the scallops and then sirloin and she had the gazpacho and cauliflower steak. Service was really exceptional. The dessert was a complete and total let-down though. We shared blueberry cobbler and peach bread pudding. The pudding was bland and too solid. It just had no flavor to speak of. The cobbler was blueberries in a tiny cast-iron pot, baked and topped with a sweet butter and small pieces of sandy textured "topping." The blueberries were fine, but otherwise it was not great. In fact, I would much rather have had plain blueberries, uncooked. And I love cobblers and fruit things and bread pudding. Compare to dessert at Guglehupf, or even at the Remedy Diner. It just doesn't measure up.
I really enjoyed Mandolin - very good service - excellent food.
We are excited to have such a high quality restaurant in our neighborhood!
Mandolin is a great mix of American cuisine mixed with local produce and meats. I had a NY strip with a worstershire peanut sauce that was amazing. It also came with a grilled potato and pickled quail eggs. My girlfriend had the chicken pot pie and it is the best we have had in Raleigh. They also have excellent dessert. We had a peach bread pudding that really was outstanding. Prices are not bad either. The first time we went I had chicken and waffles. They are the only place I have had it that does it right.
We went to Mandolin with another couple for my wife's birthday. The food was fresh and very good and the cocktails were top notch.
Hubby and I were looking forward to a great time at Mandolin and all WAS wonderful except our server's timing could have been (a lot) better. We suspected they were short one server that night. Anyway, in the process of the server trying to be unobtrusive, she ended up being pretty inattentive. When we told her that we were ready to wrap it up quickly after our main course and dessert, she fell flat and ended up getting us out of there over 1.0 hour after we told her to hasten the process. She apologized and did not charge us for the desserts but we just wished she'd listened to us in the first place. BTW, the food WAS fabulous. Nice job to Sean and his gracious wife, the hostess!
There are a lot of people in Raleigh and Greater Triangle area that I speak with who have not tried Mandolin yet. Advice: try it NOW, you'll be hooked too! The staff makes you feel so welcome and the food is outstanding- fresh, local, interesting combinations and twists on classics. Dinner or brunch, both experiences are awesome.
We enjoyed our meal and experience. We would recommend it to others and will return in the future.
We found Mandolin on Open Table at the last minute on a Saturday night. What a great find! The food, wine and service were excellent. All of the food is fresh from their garden and nothing has ever been frozen. They create a very unique menu every week based on what foods are available. The owners, Lizzie and Sean even took time from their busy night to visit with us. We found that we have mutual friends and they may try a product that we sell in the bar. We will definitely continue to go back. Thank you for a fabulous dinner!
My parents & I had a wonderful meal here the other night. Love the emphasis on local foods/farms. My dad ordered the pork chop: huge & amazing. I had chicken & waffles: also great - the truffle honey was the most unexpectedly delicious addition. My mom had chicken pot pie: good, but nothing special. Extensive wine list with several available by the glass. Cocktails were unique & delicious. Also had a blueberry crumble: good, tho quite simple. Owner was very friendly right when we walked in. Our waitress was fine, not overly friendly by any stretch, but no actual complaints. Interior is really pretty, well thought out. Can't wait to come back & see what delicious & inventive things will be on the menu next! My parents will be back, as well.
As always, the service was excellent, the Fowlers know how to make you feel at home. Had many choices for brunch to please anyone.
Our second trip for a special night. Excellent - as we had hoped it would be. Scallop/fig appetizer and the grouper entree were the stars of this visit. The blueberry cobbler was perfect, peach bread pudding a close second. Service was first rate, have not seen any better...very knowledgeable on ingredients and preparation of the selections.
Great attention to detail (a birthday celebration); service appeared slow at first but they were attentive throughout.
I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Mandolin is located in a cute part of town with good parking on the street. The menu was all farm fresh and of superb quality. I admit that my first impression upon walking in was that it was a bit noisy, but it calmed down quickly. The food was some of the best I'd eaten, and the wait staff constantly made sure we had everything we needed and that everything was to our liking. I definitely felt taken care of. The wine list was extensive and varied and they also had good selection of beers and cocktails. I will certainly be recommending this place to my friends looking for a great date night.
This is the kind of restaurant I thought I could only find in Durham, not North Raleigh -- it was a really amazing experience for my husband's birthday. The charcuterie plate was a great adventure, the Mint Collins was fantastic and the peach bread pudding with homemade mint ice cream totally slayed me!
I have been to Mandolin numerous times and it always exceeds expectations. I had a chilled corn bisque that was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it 2 days later...wishing I could have it again. I took a friend there for his birthday and he ordered the pork and loved it. I had the trout, which has never been my go-to fish, but it was so expertly prepared that I have a new appreciation for it. Choose Mandolin and you will be a very happy diner. Service is top-notch!
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Mandolin on Friday night. This was our first visit and certainly won't be our last. The food was delicious and service was great. We had a wonderful night out!
Delicious and beautifully presented food (I had the grilled shrimp, he had the trout - both excellent), friendly and attentive service, and a upscale but relaxed ambiance made for a night to remember. Bravo Mandolin! We will be back!
There are VERY few restaurants serving food worth remembering. Every dish has such unique flavor combinations. Reasonable prices for the level provided. Highly recommended.
Absolutely phenomenal!! We will definitely return.
We arrived and were greeted warmly by staff. We sat at a beautiful table by the window, however there appear to be no bad tables. Atmosphere, warm, welcoming, lively. Our server, Kathy, was knowledgeable, informative, warm, and made wonderful suggestions at our request. The wine was superb - food was excellent. The quality of the food and presentation and service is impeccable and I will definitely return.
Without doubt, will return to this sweet restaurant! Everyone in my party raved about their meal, from presentation to taste. All in all, a memorable experience. Only negative aspect was the noise level. Halfway thru our meal, a party of 8 was seated closeby...from that point on, table conversation was so difficult, we were tempted to request another table, but didn't due to obvious unavailability of a quieter area. Still, must end this review by saying, everything else about the dining experience was spot-on perfect. Mandolin has definitely been added to my list of BEST RESTURANTS in Raleigh.
Wonderful Experience! The bartender and server were great-very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was exceptional, as good as we've found in the area. Mandolin's commitment to locally sourced, fresh ingredients shined through in each of our dishes. Great wine list, too. Can't wait to come back!
Sean Fowler, chef of Mandolin is my hero! Sean is extremely creative in use of only local, fresh ingredients. It is a notable accomplishment in and of itself to run a restaurant of this size without a freezer. Living in Atlanta, I am blessed to be surrounded by arguably the best culinary minds, the Food Network, and generally a terminus for culinary trends. I must say that Mandolin puts many of the cutting-edge Atlanta restaurants to shame in both its use of local ingredients, presentation, execution, and service. Like the instrument, Mandolin offers a cacophony of unique flavors from natural places of the past causing it to stand out from the rest of the music.
Been there for special evenings, and this time it was for my 19 year old son's birthday. Perfect choice. We all enjoyed a tantalizing brunch and left very pleased with out choice.
I believe this restaurant is still fairly new. They pride themselves on all fresh, locally sourced food. The first courses we had were amazing- so much better even than their descriptions, just outstanding. It was a busy Saturday but we did have to wait a long time after the first courses to get our entrees. The chicken and waffles got rave reviews. Two other dishes were tasty but overcooked and the pork chop was tough. But we will go back because these are the type of "kinks" that can be worked out when a restaurant is still young- but the chef here is clearly talented and inventive.
Went with 5 of my co-workers -2 of wich were local to Raleigh but had not been here yet. A perfect place to introduce NC fare to those living outside of NC & the US ( one in our party was from France). The service was excellent! Great suggestions from the waiter. Everyone enjoyed their apps & entrees and said it was a restaurant to come back to.
I had been to Mandolin once before, just to the bar, and was astounded at the price point. I saw other patrons getting really small plates that appeared to be very expensive. This visit I took two friends and we all got three courses. It was indeed expensive, but we felt the quality and quantity of the food made for a great value. The panzanella salad was just what I needed that evening, and the pork chop was perfect. Really friendly, helpful server too.
My second time at Mandolin. Won't be the last. Food is locally sourced and served to perfection. Doesn't get much better in Raleigh.
We had been meaning to try this for a while, so for my birthday dinner my husband and I booked a Saturday night reservation. We came about 40 minutes early, so we could have a few drinks. We sat at the bar, and enjoyed a few different house made specialty cocktails. They were amazing, worth the price. Sitting for dinner, we each did 2 courses. Me the scallops then brisket, him the panzanella and chicken pot pie. All the food was great, but we agreed that the first course were our favorites.Wines by glass was a good selection,but small pours. I probably waited a few minutes too long between getting asked if I wanted another glass.The star of Mandolin is their ambiance. If I lived close by I would probably frequent the bar on a regular basis.
Excellent food and service in a very nice neighborhood restaurant. Upscale feel. Innovative menu. A bit expensive perhaps but worth it.
they don't open for brunch until 10:30am, so you can't do an early Sunday breakfast here. But the food, service everything was outstanding. Very friendly, welcoming staff, food came quickly and very delicious.
Loved the food! Loved the service! Loved the bar selection! Will definitely be back!
My boyfriend & I tried Mandolin for the first time. I've heard great things about it since it opened, but I have never made it in. The drink selection was excellent. Mandolin is well known for its wine list, & I was not disappointed. I really liked that there were so many wines by the glass--great when the bf doesn't feel like splitting a bottle. Service was impeccable. We had a leisurely dinner with the right amount of attention. Great for our celebratory, romantic evening. We tried the bone marrow app--wouldn't get it again, but it was worth trying. Presentation was amazing. I had shrimp and grits for my entree, one of the best I've ever had, and great leftover the next day. BF loved the beef brisket. Good serving size. We'll be back!
On recommendations from a friend, we dined at Mandolin for Sunday Brunch. What a treat!! The food was fantastic. The biscuit was amazing and I could have eaten a truckload of them! The food and presentation was gourmet all the way. Yet, the setting was very comfortable and welcoming. Décor is a wonderful combo of rustic and modern to blend in perfectly. Service was top-notch and our needs were met without asking. I highly recommend Mandolin.
We took our college sophomore for Birthday brunch, and we were all delighted. Hank, our server helped us ease into brunch on Saturday, and all of our choices were beyond compare. Loved every minute.
We had so much fun, definitely want to come back!! The food was excellent and very well prepared, thank you!!
Three of us were visiting and looking for something local and boy, did we hit a home run here. Stunning food served quickly, beautifully and with plenty of southern hospitality. This is classic southern food served with extra special care. Highly recommend it for locals and travelled.
Love it. Can get loud so go early before the masses show up.
Everything was wonderful! The food was innovative and we loved the emphasis on local, southern food. Cocktails and appetizers were especially amazing. We will certainly go again.
First time to Mandolin. It looked charming from the street... got better as we entered and were warmly greeted by the owner. The menu was all about local foods, and everyone took great pride in the fresh offerings. The lightly curried Cauliflower soup with fried okra on top was delicious, as were the scallops on the small plate selections. The chicken and waffles are not to be missed! Delicious tender fried boneless chicken breast atop greens with some sautéed mushrooms. A light-as-a-feather waffle with a side of just sweet enough "syrup". Finally, the chocolate soufflé we shared was reminiscent of the Fearrington's... slightly smaller, which made it just the right size! We will be back!
This was our first dinner at Mandolin and it was wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was friendly, and the food was great.
First off if you go call and ask for a table with Kathy!!! She is awesome!! My wife had the kale salad she said its the best salad she ever had. I got the stripped bass...could have ate two!! It has been a year since we where there last. But eating there again reminded me that this place has to be a quarterly occasion! Join the email list. Banana pudding was awesome. But it's not on the menu. After eating there twice...can find no flaws!!!
I had the fried oyster dish for an appetizer and it was very well-prepared. Also, for dinner I had the duck and dumplings, and I must say that the gnocchi were divine. as well as the duck. it had a side of kale, however that was soooo gritty. it was very tasty but just need to be washed more. my date ordered the chicken and waffles and the chicken was fried perfectly. I was so jealous of how amazingly crispy, juicy, and flavorful it was. I would recommend Mandolin to anyone. and it wasn't too pricy. we ordered more expensive menu items and the bill was 66 dollars before tip.
This was our first visit to Mandolin. Such a fantastic, cozy place -- extraordinary attention to details in the wholesome food served. The food is expertly prepared giving a level of sophistication to otherwise ordinary local ingredients. I was also eager to try the much lauded cocktails due to the same attention paid to their crafting. I was not disappointed, but wowed! I chose Mandolin due to the garden-to-table commitment and support of local farmers. The team lives up to their commitment; it is not just marketing hype. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, yet sophisticated. They earned my respect. I will spread my enthusiasm for their work gleefully amongst our friends and broader social circles.
We went to Mandolin on a Saturday night, pre-symphony. It's a pretty restaurant, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is very good. My wife had carrot soup, and I wished that I had (and I don't like cooked carrots - it was great). I had a perfectly nice salad. The mains were each very good - I had a duck leg confit with Brunswick stew, my wife a large pork roast. Desserts were different, very Southern, and good (banana pudding, root beer float). Nice, albeit chaotic, wine list (a little bit of everything, all seemingly well chosen). The atmosphere and the treatment from the staff made it feel like a "special" place - we'll be back. Highly recommended.
Brunch was fabulous! Both service and food were top notch. Even my side of fruit (while expensive) was perfect. The pork madame is delicious but huge so I suggest splitting it with someone.
anywhere in Raleigh. We live in Five Points and walk to this wonderful neighborhood gem where we are always greeted warmly and given the best food and service ever. The prices are reasonable, especially so since the food is as good as any upscale NY restaurant. Go! You won't be disappointed.

Landsat at 40
Happy birthday, Landsat. Forty years ago today, this Earth-observing program was kicked off when the first Landsat satellite was launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base. Over the last decades, seven satellites have taken images of and collected data about urban growth, climate change, and natural disasters. NASA picked it's Top Ten Landsat images and featured them today. The one above has always been one of Landsat's most striking images. This composite image from two cloud-free days in 1986 and 1988 shows how clear-cutting in Mexico was so rampant that it made the political border with Guatemala, and its untouched forests, visible from space. According to NASA, it "started a discussion of conservation between the presidents of Guatemala and Mexico that led to cooperative planning of parks in both countries." Although the border is still visible, the dramatic change when the 1986-1988 image is compared to this one from 2009-2011 shows how valuable these Earth-imaging satellites can be.

When a few days ago we mentioned that Electronic Arts would be present at the Ubuntu Developer Summit being held these days in California we hope for a far more ambitious entry in the segment EA Linux , but much I am afraid we must acknowledge that at least the giant distribution of video games has given some attention to our operating system.
is that the entry of Electronic Arts in Linux is almost symbolic: there are two sets available in the Ubuntu Software Center ("Lords of Ultima " and " Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances ") that actually can run on any operating system they are considering games that are enjoyed from a web browser.
Integration with Ubuntu and Software Centre is welcome-it's really not necessary, anyone can go directly to the website of the game-but the fact is we expected (at least me) well over Electronic Arts its huge catalog of games. two titles offered by the company are almost a story , very much in line with other games that has long offered the Chrome Web Store with titles like "The Godfather : Five Families "or" Crime City ", to name two prominent examples of the huge range available there.
Yet this may only be the first step of close collaboration between Electronic Arts and Linux distributions such as Canonical. Personally am not too optimistic that EA just wants to earn some good image , but have to give them a chance. Come on EA, shows that Linux is real commitment.

This playground, located at the intersection of White Plains Road, Westchester Avenue and the Cross Bronx Expressway in the Bronx, is named for nearby Virginia Avenue.
Originally settled as farmland, in December, 1924 a street named Gray Avenue was laid out on the present site of Virginia Avenue. It is commonly thought that a surveyor of the area renamed the throughway Virginia Avenue to commemorate his birthplace in Stratford, in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Supporting this theory are the names of the adjacent streets, Stratford and Commonwealth Avenue.

I'm experiencing tingling in my thumb, index finger, and forearm after stretching my arm and shoulder plus the rest of my body on a foam roller.
I had my arms outstretched over my head while laying on my back and was letting them feel the stretch. I felt my arm start tingling and thought nothing of it except that my arm had fallen asleep from the position.
After a few minutes with no improvement I knew something was wrong. It still tingled and my arm feels heavy like it just wants to drop when I use it.
It is now the next morning after sleeping and it's still the same.
I'm about to go to work but wanted see if anyone has some thoughts on my situation. Oh and it's the same arm I had a slap repair on 7mo ago...

I would define wargames fairly broadly for the purp …

This is a group to organize LAN Parties for people playing Civilization. I'll try to get a regular (weekly? biweekly? monthly?) thing going, since Civ games tend to be quite long, and are more easily completed in chunks. At this point, I want to get enough people together so we can actually organize the first meet up. I think three would be enough already, but of course, the more the merrier. I don't have a rule against joining a game online (rather than in person), but the purpose of the group …

This is a group dedicated to those huge, epic board games that never make it to the table anywhere else. We're new to the area and with a 9-month old baby we don't get out much to meet people, so this seems like a great way to get started playing our game collection in the area!

Olivia Munn Pulls Out Her Eyelashes: Do You Have a Weird Habit?

She's known for her good looks, but Olivia Munn's pretty face hides a world of anxiety. Munn admits that she suffers from a disorder known as trichotillomania -- meaning she pulls out her eyelashes. Check out the video below to see a clip of Munn's new movie, "The Babymakers"!
"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," the 32-year-old "Newsroom" star tells The New York Daily News. "It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes."
"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," the 32-year-old "Newsroom" star tells The New York Daily News. "It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes."
Munn also fesses up to suffering from social anxiety. "I don't think anyone would describe me as weak, but I don't want people to be mean to me," she says. "As an Air Force kid, I moved around a lot when I was younger and no one was nice to the new kid. So there is always this feeling that someone will make fun of me."
Munn also thinks she has too much anxiety to have a child. "It's not that I'm too busy with my career or anything, but I have this huge fear of something happening to a child of mine," she says. "What if I'm not a good parent and my child turns out to be a jerk? Like I need more anxiety in my life." Yikes ... do you relate to Munn's anxiety? Or do you have any other equally weird habits?

Or have them custom-made in London when I'm there. - sally 2012/08/01 06:02:07Yes (please share your habit here)I cover my mouth for no reason, I lock every door I close unless I don't have a lock for it, I will say "that was cool" or "that sucked" after every movie I see, and I can't go out without wearing a sweater (even if it's thin), and I pick off the cuticles on my nail.

2. Every time I see an ad, I look for holes in its logic.
3. I think the weirdest habit I have is letting my dog smell anything I drink, even if it's water, before I drink it.
4. I give strangers names in my head.
5. Every time I see something that has to do with a hidden gem I know about, like a Coraline T-shirt, or someone asking if anyone else has read "Behind the Attic Wall", I smile really slowly (with my lips closed, btw), and my little sister once said I looked creepy.
6. I cut my nails off with nail clippers down to the quick, and I also cut the dead skin off, making them hurt a little but not much.
7. When I daydream, which I do a lot because the smallest things spark my imagination, I keep doing whatever it was I was doing, but I just stare and stare and stare and don't say anything. If I'm not doing anything, just sitting, and daydreaming, I put my head in my hand like The Thinker statue and stare at some wall or something. - Courtney Hammett 2012/07/31 22:00:32Yes (please share your habit here)

Yes (please share your habit here)I sniff my fingers, especially under my finger nails. I'm not a germ freak but I don't like picking up mysterious filth from random places around my home. That's what happens when you come home from being out and touch everything. The FIRST thing I do when I get back from being out is wash my hands so they smell like soap and not the door handles at WalMart.

Claflin University sets itself apart by being a small, family-oriented campus—and you will notice this from the moment you first arrive here. Everyone, from the administrators to the maintenance staff, is always warm, welcoming, friendly, and ready to assist the students. It is very hard to make enemies at this school because everyone respects everyone else and where they came from. The students and faculty come from different backgrounds, yet that does not lead to segregation.
The people here possess genuine Southern hospitality, a trait that never gets old around campus, and everyone takes pride in the rich history they have become a part of at Claflin. Everyone is always focused on their academic success and achieving the desired "Claflin Confidence." The school constantly makes a personal effort to help students achieve all their goals by helping in whatever way they can. When you graduate from Claflin, you will not only leave with your diploma, but you will also leave with a wealth of great friendships and family bonds that you have made with others at the University. It truly is a rewarding experience.

Facebook Divorces Instant Gratification
Posted by venkat | Posted in Opinions | Posted on 25-06-2012 |
Tags: Facebook Timeline, Gratification, social CRM, welcome pages
Originally posted as a guest post on I do Facebook.
My first reaction to the news that Welcome page will no longer exist, was shock and disbelief. The headline-grabbing news of Timeline for pages and the gazillions of opinion articles that followed it, the sub-text of the announcement made in Facebook Marketing Conference on March 7th went largely unnoticed. The reaction of a lot of Facebook ad professionals was, 'Omigod! What will happen to the highly optimised conversion rates and the infinite calls to action we perfected already?' It took me a day to come to terms with this change.
When the dust settled and the wounds became less sore, I took a relook at the whole thing and now think, probably, this is the best thing Facebook could have done in their own interests. Sure, it hits their short term revenues – Ads on Facebook won't be so lucrative for businesses anymore. However, businesses will see Facebook in a new light and approach it in truly social way. With Timeline and the subtext of what it means to the digital marketing industry, Facebook signalled that the days of instant gratification are over.
The Rise of Instant Gratification
When Digital was the new marketing/ad medium, Vendors needed to justify to businesses that the spending was worth it. This forced the Vendors to come up with Instant Gratification and instant ROI calculators – impressions, CTRs, Page views, 'time spent' and at least 500 other metrics.
"Instant Gratification" as a stated goal was pioneered and exploited by Google – for users and for advertisers. Using Google AdWords, any marketer can get results within ten minutes - from setting up a site, having a lead capture form and signing up for an Adwords account to Going live. Ten minutes! It worked brilliantly well and millions of advertisers flocked to this new way of getting instant results for their ad dollars. Google did not disappoint many! [There are more than 2.5 million Adwords users, and this figure is only growing]
The industry got addicted to the 'high' that instant gratification gives. Millions of advertisers use various forms of digital avenues on internet –banner advertising, affiliate marketing, sales ticking, the works. Naturally, when the new kids on the block – social networks – appeared, marketers got to work with their 'formula' and frankly, had a joyride all this while. For all the talk of 'social', both the vendor and the business are a part of this gig to get Sales and Conversions and ROI and what not. "If the numbers don't justify it, move the dollars." That's the reality of the industry.
With the dollars working to the satisfaction of the client, the digital marketing industry was totally in its comfort zone even on social media.
FB landing page was Instant Gratification
When Facebook started self-serve ads with the flexibility of a landing tab and an auto-redirect, the digital marketers did exactly what they are used to do on Google. Have a call to action, cajole visitors to like the page and then redirect to a landing cialis tablets foreign (sales) page.
But the visitors to a Facebook Page are not a search mode. They are merely trying to 'connect' to a brand. As a result, the conversion funnels were much narrower than on Google, but no one complained. The cost per click is also much lower, so there. You have your "ROI" intact!
Tough time for agencies and digital marketers
Now, with the landing tab going out the window and the user landing on a beautifully designed timeline with NO call to action, NO form to fill, marketers will have a tough time to get their 'conversion' numbers back to where they were.
This change is going to put transactional marketers into a very tough situation. But for people who want to build their brand, one interaction a time, it is a wonderful thing to happen. The concept of 'story telling' from a brand building point of view is new to the digital industry. As a digital marketing professional, I never bothered about 'recall', 'mindshare', 'purchase consideration' etc before Timeline. Probably I need to learn them in the new Facebook era.
Facebook gives away Pages and a lot of other tools to businesses for free. In return, it wants us to market our brand in a way different from any other channel on internet - in an organic manner. I have executed hundreds of Google campaigns - and the competition was always with the offline media budgets and their ROI. And Google always supported with unbeatable ROI.
With the new Facebook, ad budgets for Social (read Facebook) cannot compete with search marketing. In order to convince business owners to spend money and time on social, in the absence of instant gratification, I need to come up with new ways to explain why it makes sense for brands to be on Facebook and invest without any instant tangible results.
Let us try out some lines a digital marketer can use:
Marketing agency: You need to be on Facebook because | Brand's likely response (coming from my experience talking to businesses owners): |
you can be a part of your consumer's life | How many 'consumer lives' can I be really a part?, Who got the time to do this stuff? |
get to know your consumers better | You know what, if I know too much about my consumer's wants, it becomes nearly impossible for me to build a product or service to satisfy them. What am I going to get out of it? |
you can sell stuff on your Facebook page | You really think we can do that? I was just reading this article on 'f-commerce' abandonment. |
of the viral word of mouth branding you'll get on social networks | Tell me more |
"Word of mouth branding" seems to come closer to what Facebook wants brands to do and what brands will really be interested in. PTAT marketing is the new marketing that Facebook wants businesses to adopt. People should talk about you in their daily life and spread the message within their networks.
Investing in Mindshare?
Facebook encourages us to have create and grow mindshare in our Target Audience. This happens via
1. Light weight interactions
Several light weight interactions over a period of time Read here and here
2. Being human
Is the new brand mantra Facebook wants businesses to adopt. This IMHO will be a very difficult task for any business. Businesses operate on scale. And scale needs standardisation. Businesses like six sigma procedures. So far success stories of businesses that have scalable human as their core differentiator are too few and are more an exception than the norm.
3. Return on relationship (Or relationship marketing)
Professor Gummesson spent a significant part of his career on researching return on relationship (ROR) methodology. He says relationships should start from within the organisation and they go to outside and be visible to customers. If this holds good in the social media age, then right use of yammer and Facebook should give more profitability to businesses.
4. Innovation
Given a base of people who like my page, I get quick insights and feedback on various hypotheses I have as a business owner. A CEO need not wait for months to get insights reports from the researchers Ask, and you shall be provided.
Small businesses can replace their CRM system with Facebook. A great feature that a page owner can use for CRM is to reach fans on their birthdays. One can buy stamp ads for wishing people on their birthdays! And impressions are free! When the fan clicks on the ad, he can go to a custom page with his name on it and a personal message. Cool?
Final thoughts
I think the go-to reasons for the two giants are complementary - with Google, its increment in sales that leading improved market share and with Facebook, its increase in mindshare leading to increased market share. While Google for most part grabbed ad dollars from Below the Line budget, Facebook will grab the ad dollars of above the line budget. Businesses believing the promise of Mindshare – brand recall and brand engagement - will cut TV budgets to invest in Facebook presence (the Nike example) with the emphasis on going fully social.
This will further put pressure on TV to justify its returns – with Facebook the metrics are instant and the results are visible compared to TV. Digital agencies pitching for Facebook business need to go after TV budget and not the one who does Google budget.
I get 'The Departed' feel with FB choosing to take its own path departing from 'instant gratification' chosen by everyone else. And I hope FB will not regret this down the line.

Skype with Facebook integration and group video calling
We're excited to announce a brand new version of Skype for Windows, which will help bring you and your friends, family and co-workers together like never before. Download it now, or read on to find out what's inside.
We've integrated the Facebook News Feed and Phonebook into Skype, making it easier to stay connected with the people and communities you care about. We've revitalised the look and feel, making voice and video calling, instant messaging, screen sharing and file sharing intuitive and easy to navigate. And you can now bring even more of your family and friends together with the new group video calling feature available in open beta.
With Facebook integration, you can:
- see your Facebook News Feed in Skype
- post status updates that can be synced with your Skype mood message
- comment and like friends' updates and wall posts
- call and SMS your Facebook friends on their mobile phones and landlines
- make a free Skype-to-Skype call if your Facebook friend is also a Skype contact
Video calling accounted for approximately 40% of all Skype-to-Skype minutes in the first half of this year, and with the new version of Skype, you'll receive a free trial of group video calling in beta. We've added a dynamic group video calling view, which it easy to follow who's talking by moving the focus to the person speaking on the call – try it out!
We've also continued our drive to further improve call quality, and the new version of Skype introduces automatic call recovery, which helps you reconnect calls that are interrupted due to Internet connection problems. Plus, the call quality manager gauges audio and video quality during calls, helping you to resolve problems and improving the call experience.
Finally, the new Skype Home serves as the dashboard for your Skype experience, with a feed of mood messages from your contacts, and tutorials on everything from how to make a video call to how to sign up for a subscription.
Download the new version now – and carry on talking
For those of you who are Mac users: we intend to release an update to our Mac app soon.

I've just installed the latest version of Skype v5 on Windows 7 64 bit and it mostly works, the facebook integration is quite nice. However, what doesn't work any more is my web cam. It's integrated into my HP Laptop, and used to work perfectly in v4.2. I'm now getting an error saying "Can't start video renderer, check you have a valid directx installation" and then the light turns on for my webcam and the person on the other side can see me, but I can't see myself in my own preview window. I think there are some device driver issues that need to be tidied up here (this all worked perfectly in v4.2)

While unsupported (and untested), you could try running Skype 5.0 through DarWINE for OS X and through WINE for Linux.
simontek27 said 3 years ago
Hello, i always tested all Beta versions you shared and i have a good feeling with this last one but for several years i made always the same requests and they weren't accepted i think
here my wish list1)i'd like to see contact categories, to make skype looks like MSN or ICQ or QQ.
2)UI could be a little bit better if you put a "hide" option and or scroll button for the right side of the window
3)custom ringtones for each contact
4)Outlook contacts integration
5)Services integration (not only facebook, but for example, wordpress, myspace and so on..thankyou so much i hope this message is readed
see you -

hey like gooooooo skype!
johnskrob said 3 years ago
I'm using Skype in Argentina and the latest version 5.0 is HORRIBLE in establishing phone calls to landlines and mobile phones. It connects, you hear weird background noises, it charges you, but no coming through. Been trying it now over and over and the problem stays. I've been using Skype for years now successfully so it's definitely not a lack in knowledge in how to use it correctly. Seems this version is not ripe yet. Anyone with similiar problems? Any solutions?

Something has gone very wrong with the Skype video input processor in rev 5! Please fix it.
Back in the days of rev 4.x, I could use my 'Sony DV Device' as my video input and/or my video capture card. When I 'upgraded to version 5 beta, neither worked and I had to use ManyCam software to capture my camcorder and route it to Skype. Now that version 5 has been officially released, ManyCam no longer works. So now Skype is worthless on my desktop PC, since no video source (DV/ManyCAM/capture card) will work anymore.

I am a conscientious objector to Facebook. Is it possible to opt out of being included on their database (I have not downloaded this new version). If not, then I might have to terminate my Skype account (which would be regrettable since I find the functionality extremely useful).

One more Linux user wishing Skype would put more effort into the Linux version
steven.parsloe said 3 years ago
I just read many messages above asking for a Mac upgrade for Skype. I just wanted to let you know what InnerPass has a Mac application on Skype and it'll allow you to create groups of your contacts and you can click to call the group. InnerPass also allows you to launch screen sharing with one or many as well. Contact me if you have any issues or quetions regardings this. Or just go to https://www.innerpass.com/home/product-plans/free-trial.aspx and scroll to the bottom and click on the mac download button on the far right. Good luck and let us know if this works for you.

Whilst I agree with most of the comments relating to the lack of "updates" for Mac And Linux users (I am one of the latter) – I have to say I am happy I do not have to endure allowing any kind of "integration" to this abhorrent social wart (FB) in order to "update" my software. Why not make this kind of thing opt-in, or, at least, even opt-out?!?! We are not all mindless sheep, you know!
manuellevi said 3 years ago
Really, when is the Linux version updated? People are using Linux and Mac more and more, are you trying to lose those clients? Do it!
Competitors will see this and start developing better clients for Linux, faster, more useful and complete than Skype is right now. Even I am searching for other VoIP clients right now running on Linux. -
feke88 said 3 years ago
Mac and Linux users are discriminated… ? Realy? Then what about us WM users? We have version 3 only and it seems, that there won't be ever an upgrade to newer version. And? Who cares? I'm happy that I have Skype for WM. You're always just suffering.. This is the problem with a lot of people. You should say "Thank you!" for the (FREE) Skype app that You have that they made for You, not allways just "Give me, give me!!". Where are You living? Come back to the Earth, or just wake up. You're not kings who can give orders to anyone.. So, to be the first one, Thank You developers, for making Skype for WM without asking any kind of money for it from the users!
laikinasandrius said 3 years ago
Skype, come on. Stop your bullshit. Get your act together.
Why there are no updates for Linux and Mac?
Why do you have this blog if you never post any answers to questions?
How about hiring a person who would communicate with blog readers? -
aubron2 said 3 years ago
Was ecstatic to see that you all had finally implemented group video calls. I then saw that we're going to have to pay for them. Time to move on and try and find some other software. It is no more stress on you as a company to have group calling, it's P2P connections.
henric_intelliweb said 3 years ago
I would like to see how many percent of Skype users use a Mac.
Pretty ridiculous to ignore the Mac community like this. If you'd done your homework you'd know that it's a rapidly growing community with the most willing-to-pay customers.

Using Win XP with ver 188.8.131.52 over a network that varies from 56Kbs to as slow as 5KBs! The new version 5 keeps disconnecting me when the network slows down momentarily (for 30 seconds or so). The old version 4.?? would just clip voice for awhile and then would be fine. PLEASE can you let ME choose whether I want to disconnect or not instead of forcing me to with a "you appear to be disconnected" message. This is also affecting the games (bowling) I play which used to just freeze for awhile and now disconnect.. I suspect this is a timeout setting somewhere within SKYPE however I could not find a setting in Tools / Options / Advanced / Connection. I would greatly appreciate it if you could add a "Network Disconnected after xx seconds" setting with a "00=Never" setting which would turn off this timeout. Thank you.
p.s. For blog monitor only: I tried to find somewhere else to post this (like a support or release 5 problems blog ) and was not successful. -

Skype 5.0 SUCKS.
I don't give a darn about Facebook because I DON'T use that, and the new skype is just ugly, looks like yahoo messenger !!! I use skype for work !!! Sometimes Facebook is even prohibited by some Companies who may use skype for communicating with employees. Have you thought of that?
I downgraded to 3.8.

I will not request my friends to give their numbers to facebook. I am a facebook user but you should know what to share on facebook. Facebook leaks our info.

Ooh, Skype 5.0 sucks so hard! I've been trying for three days to install it and use it and have been failing!
It is too big and not reasonable that it can't be resized.
And it just doesn't freakin' work! (Even with nice suggestions from the support team, I just cannot get the damn thing to install and work!)
I've happily gone back to version 4.2 which works just fine. Please, if it aint broke, don't fix it!

I think this is a terrible feature. What if I use skype for work purposes and then I'm continuously getting facebook feeds that are distracting. Plus I don't need everyone in the office to see my facebook feeds pop up on my screen as I'm using skype. Finally, for those more serious corporations that block facebook an integration with skype means that I cannot launch my skype and get it to work properly. I think we should have an option as to weather we want to integrate skype with facebook or any other social network. This is why they are called SOCIAL networks…cuz they are meant to be kept out of the office.

I'm fairly unhappy with skype's new layout on the mac.
* There is no reason for the primary skype window to be so large except when actually video chatting or typing.
* It's extremely inconvenient to pull up the little transparent buddy list overlay because the button only appears.
* You cannot leave the transparent buddy list overlay active for long because skype keeps it on top of your other windows.
I'll still continue using skype regularly because some long distance family members, but I will no longer leave any skype window unhidden when not in use. And I'll more frequently simply shut down skype. In other words, I'll see friends online in my other chat programs, and thus think to talk to them, but I will not think about skype contacts nearly so often.
I've already noticed two profound changes in my behavior. First, I'll now almost always chat with friends who use both skype and another IM client in the other client, that wasn't true a couple months ago. Second, I've made almost no skype out calls over the last month, using google almost exclusively instead.

AOL revenue rises for first time in eight years
AOL eked out just a 4 percent gain in sales last quarter, but it was the first sign of revenue growth in the past eight years.
For the final quarter of 2012, the company took in revenue of $599 million, rising from $576 million in the year-ago quarter and beating analyst estimates of $573 million, according to Reuters.
AOL attributed the gain to a boost in sales from its global advertising, which grew by 13 percent from a year ago. Ad revenue from third-party networks jumped by 31 percent, while search revenue increased by 17 percent.
On the downside, subscription … Read more
