So How Did You Find Out About The Word
Of Mouth Marketing Conference?
So How Did You Find Out About The Word
Of Mouth Marketing Conference?
03/22/2005 05:03 PMFor the past decade or so, there's been a growing interest in the
concept of "word of mouth" or "viral" marketing -- where the idea is
to get people to tell others about it. This has been helped along
(greatly) by the rise of the internet. Since it's a communications
platform more than a content platform, it makes it quite easy for
people to tell others about something interesting or cool that they've
seen, even if it is advertising. So, it was only a matter of time
until some marketers
set up
a conference just for word of mouth marketing -- though, you have
to wonder exactly how they got the... er... word out. It will be
interesting to see how this technique evolves, because too many
marketers still seem to think that marketing is about
tricking
users into viewing an ad or buying a product. The whole point of
viral marketing isn't to trick people, but to make the advertising
interesting and engaging so that people
want to find out more
about your product. That's a very different mindset, and it's not
clear everyone has figured that out yet.

08/31/2004 02:28 AMSkype Technologies S.A. has released a Beta of the Mac OS X version of
its
free software for making phone
calls over the Internet. Skype features contact management functions,
call and message tracking, file transfers up to 2GB, instant
messaging, end-to-end encryption in all transmissions and more. It
also includes the company's SkypeOut service, which enables you to
pre-pay for calls to landlines and cell phones anywhere in the world
for as little as €0.017 (US$0.02) per minute; a rate sheet on the
Skype Web site breaks down the prices. The software requires Mac OS X
v10.3, a G3 running at 400MHz, 128MB RAM and 20MB free hard drive
space.

Dare Obasanjo at Microsoft read How
Microsoft Lost the API War and took it to heart: “The Microsoft culture is about
creating the newest, latest greatest thing that 'changes the world'
not improving what is already out there and working for customers.
When I read various Microsoft blogs and MSDN headlines about how even
though we've made paradigm shifts in developer technologies in the
recent years we aren't satisfied and want to introduce radically new
and different technologies all over again. This bothers me. I hate the
fact that 'you have to rewrite a lot of your code' is a common answer
to questions a customer might ask about how to leverage new or
upcoming functionality in a developer technology.”
It's great that some people Microsoft took my article to heart (not
just the MSDN editors, who have been running victory<
/a> laps). Now I have a confession. The reason it took me so
long to write this article is that I was afraid Microsoft would
actually listen to me, even in some small degree, even if it's just
the System.Xml.XmlDocument class. As a developer, I would much prefer
if the Raymond Chen camp won -- it sure makes my life easier -- but as
a competitor to Microsoft, I have to assume that the stupider
Microsoft is, the better.

Eric
Sink: “It‘s okay to be in awe of these great hackers.
But as a practical matter, small ISVs would be much better off hiring
professionals.” Agreed!
Which reminds me, I can't wait for Johanna Rothman's new book on
hiring geeks to come out. I'm reading the manuscript now and it's a
great book on a topic that doesn't get a lot of coverage.

In June I wrote
“The old Microsoft, the Microsoft of Raymond Chen, might have
implemented things like Avalon, the new graphics system, as a series
of DLLs that can run on any version of Windows and which could be
bundled with applications that need them. There's no technical reason
not to do this. But Microsoft needs to give you a reason to buy
Longhorn...”
Microsoft: “Microsoft also announced that the
Windows WinFX developer technologies, including the new presentation
subsystem code-named ‘Avalon’ and the new communication
subsystem code-named Indigo, will be made available for Microsoft®
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 in 2006.”
(MSDNMag 0, RaymondChen 1!)
I've been hard at work on some new code for the discussion groups.
Hopefully I'll get an experimental build up somewhere in a week or two
and we can start playing with it. It won't look very different from
the outside, so don't get too excited. I think probably the biggest
visible change will be that when you post something, you'll be able to
provide a URL that your name links to. It's a small feature that I'm
hoping will have a big effect on the anthropology of the discussion
group. Like everything else, it's an experiment. Have a great
weekend!

SoftwareCEO.com has a feature
about Fog Creek Software on their home page this week: “In fact,
Spolsky takes a skeptical view of almost every bit of received wisdom
he's ever heard about running a software company. His views are
refreshing and thought-provoking, and they certainly work in his
niche.”

I'm just about to leave for
the annual Spolsky family vacation... this year we've got a villa in
Umbria, Italy. I'll be passing through Rome on Monday, August 16th.
We've got a few people who have already confirmed
to meet for a dinner there, so if you'll be in town, let's meet
up!
Where: The lobby of the Aleph
Hotel
Address: Via di San Basilio, 15
When: 20.00
16/08/01
I'll make sure the concierge knows where I am. At 8 PM
when we see how many people show up, we'll find a good restaurant
that's open (not easy in August in Rome, I'm told) and talk about
software (and food (and the heat)).

Cambridge SoundWorks Mick Fleetwood
Signature Model Twelve Speakers
08/18/2004 08:38 AM
When I go into the local
middle- and high-schools each week for my "Gizmodo: Talkin' Teen"
heart-to-heart rap session, the number one inquiry I get from the kids
during our Q&A is, "Yo, when is Mick Fleetwood going to endorse a
set of Cambridge SoundWorks portable speakers?" And I chuckle a little
then, and walk over and my put my hand on their shoulder, and try to
explain to these mixed up young persons that despite their enduring
affection for Fleetwood Mac's seminal 1977 release Rumors, the
pressures of Big Media conglomerates have persisted to keep Mick out
of the speaker game. Then we all smoke a big doob because I'm
down.
But next week, when some young gangbanger inevitably asks me that
very same question, I'm going to look them right in the eyes and
whisper into the mic, "Today, my young peer. Today."
Cambridge SoundWorks has not mentioned if it is appropriate to call
the $400 Mick Fleetwood Signature Model Twelves' included amplifier
the "Stevie Mixer," probably because that's sort of lame.

out when an investor who couldn't do their own due diligence sued
Merrill Lynch for their stock recommendations that tanked after the
bubble. Now, in a fairly similar case, a couple who should know
better, has
lost an arbitration case against Merrill Lynch. The
details here are even more ridiculous. The guy was the head of a
petroleum company, and obviously knows better than to trust analyst
reports. In fact, the details show he clearly did not trust analyst
reports. Many of his investments were made before Merrill covered a
stock, or on stocks Merrill
never covered. Clearly, this case
was brought by a couple who couldn't handle the fact that they screwed
up and were looking for anyone to blame. If you're investing money,
you should be willing to lose it. If you trust someone else to invest
all of your money for you without doing your own due diligence, then
it's your own fault for following bad advice. Anyone who doesn't know
that, shouldn't invest.
