The other issue that I see is organizations who are unwilling/unable to have an open conversation. <br /><br />They say stuff like: <br />I want to do a SM campaign. This is what I want it to say. These are the results that I want/expect. Can you do it? <br /><br />Eventually some silly SM guru will say yes, and another SM failure is born.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329994022832397916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758687925665479692.post-58776361167312470572013-04-28T11:23:31.349-07:002013-04-28T11:23:31.349-07:00great thoughts Ricgreat thoughts Ricgeoff's storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479793130855092199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758687925665479692.post-81710644152672021192013-04-28T10:27:14.189-07:002013-04-28T10:27:14.189-07:00Interesting point of view.

Still, you could strike down an awe-inspiring phrase like "the pen is mightier than the sword" by the same logic. I guess that while message and meaning is what's crucially important, every important advance in ease of communications - from papyrus through the printing press to the electronic media of today - has brought important social advances, at least in an overall way if not always in individual examples.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731411966247073459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758687925665479692.post-29527968532874452582013-04-28T05:29:33.193-07:002013-04-28T05:29:33.193-07:00This post contains a simple but extreme important ...This post contains a simple but extreme important message about what is really important for an entrepreneur.

A wee bit disingenuous? <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love EAv missions, and I strive to leave a thumbs up and a comment on every one I complete, but some types of missions don't let you do so after you hit the mission button, and some users are not aware of these expectations. When I first started completing EAv missions, I had no idea that comments and thumbs up were expected on every one. Is there a rulebook that explains this? <br /><br />As in your example above, it is better to explain in the mission requirements that you want a comment if that is what you seek. <br /><br />And then we have to remember that this "social media rocket fuel" powers an inefficient engine. Some of the actions we buy will not appear--the technology can fail, not all users will understand our expectations and, yes, some users will exempt themselves from the rules of fair play. I figure a thumbs up, retweet, or like from a bludger or grub probably wouldn't have been worth what I paid for it anyway.Tammihttp://tammikibler.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758687925665479692.post-56716067119144710422012-09-07T08:59:14.088-07:002012-09-07T08:59:14.088-07:00Couldn't have said it better, and that "b...Couldn't have said it better, and that "boring crap" cracked me up.
