i don’t think the word “sanction” is appropriate in the title of your latest blog post. maybe you mean something else?

Jeremiah,
I was reading your article about payperpost and I found everything you wrote interesting, I really don’t know much about blogging however I linked to you through an article at MSNBC.
The reason I’m writing you is because I’ve always been interested in blogging but never really looked into it, I’m a single father with a son who is 12 and he has Severe Cerebral Palsy and is on a feeding tube. I’ve always wanted to write things about his life and the progress he’s made. I hope you have a good trip to N.Y and that your meeting with Ted and all the others go well for you.
I admire you for the passion you have to inform and fill people with knowledge. Your pictures are cool but mine are just as cool because I’ve been to just about every Indian Reservation and Church to get my son healed.
Anyhow I know your busy and I’m going to spend more time reviewing and going through your website.
Your Lotus looks unusally cool.
With Kind Regards
Richard Sanchez
Heh, I wish it was my lotus, but in reality, it’s my friends –I have the Acura TL which is a pure geek car.

Jeremiah,
We tried to reach you prior to SES, but couldn’t. Wanted to see if you’d be up for a podtech chat with Compete. Did you see the new search product at SES? That’s just the tip and I think you and Stephen DiMarco could chat for a while? Will you be in Beantown soon?
Thanks,
Scott
JO, Congrats on the new gig at Forrester! We should catch up. I saw you walking across the street at SES and gave you a shout from a passing car. That may clear up a mystery or two for you since I don’t think you saw me. Anyhow… congrats

Hello Jeremiah!
My name is Nathan Lipson and I am the Director of Strategy and Editorial Development of TheMarker sites of Israel.
I wanted to ask your permission to translate your post “How Blogs can help a Corporation” (http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2007/08/18/how-blogs-can-help-a-corporation/) and use it on both our print newspaper and site.
As you may remember, in June you already gave us permission to translate a post (http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2007/06/11/web-strategistcom-to-be-convereted-to-hebrew/).
May we?
Cheers,
Nathan Lipson
Nathan,
You have my email address. I give you permission to run this article.
I have been searching and searching for a podcast distribution system [not RSS] for my PAID subscription for my podcasts. I need to be able to DISCONTINUE the feed/distribution to the customer if they do NOT renew their subscription.
Any leads would be most highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I don’t know of any off hand Steve, thanks
Hi Jeremiah,
I followed a Venturebeat article on you to your “Twitter based marketing” article. I am the founder of SadakMap.com, its a map based site that has a couple of features, the relevant one in this context being the ability for users to post short messages on the map. The site is in beta launch and we are building a RSS feed-like subscription for messages on the map. Basically, users will be able to subscribe to messages posted in the region of their choice on the map (1 or more regions). Other users will be able to read the “talk on the ground” by just panning the map to the desired location.
Can you give your take on this please? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Unmesh.

Hi Jeremiah,
I dropped you an e-mail at your Yahoo address, not sure if it got there or not.
In any case I referenced your post from last year on product evangelists: http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2006/10/07/understanding-the-role-of-an-evangelist-at-a-web-20-company/
I was wondering if you could turn me onto some good people - I go into more detail in the e-mail.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremiah,
I didn’t see your email address, so I started out by friending you on Facebook but realized this is probably just as good.
I thought you might be interested in a white paper we just released by my business partner Steve Outing.
http://www.enthusiastgroup.com/social_networking_white_paper
We believe this will be a very useful document for a lot of people. It’s not a thinly veiled product brochure. Rather, Steve put a lot of thought and effort into creating something companies can use whether they work with us or not. (Steve has been researching and writing about online issues for over 10 years.)
The Enthusiast Group kinda sorta falls into the category of white label social networks that you wrote about a while back, except that we’ve built ours on top of Drupal and have no pretensions to building a proprietary platform. We think the technology plays a secondary role to coming up with good ideas that drive consumer engagement. Buddy lists and blogs only get you so far. Which is to say, not very.
Anyway, feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions. Thanks!

Jeremiah,
Curious what your thoughts are on the Chitika announcement re: offering its ad units on Facebook - thumbs up or down? Full disclosure, we’re working with them now (PR), but I value your opinion.

Hello,
My name is Jay with Panthera Interactive. Panthera is an online marketing company based in Las Vegas, NV that specializes in performance-based advertising.

I read your 8/16/07 post about time saving techniques and from that I have a quick question for you: my ‘reservoir of drafts’ is building up as I get new ideas and work on various subjects for my blog and as I began to see the growing list of drafts, I remembered your post where you said you have at least 150 drafts!
I am getting overwhelmed (organizationally) with just 10-15 drafts! I’m use the standard-issue Wordpress admin control panel for my site, so my drafts just show up as a list at the top of my “Write” page, which gets rather inconvenient. So I was wondering if you manage your blog from a web-based interface or via desktop software that makes it easier to index drafts?
Thanks! As an aside, your blog has made my online activities far more productive and effective, so thanks for that too!!

Thanks Andrew!

Hi Jeremiah,
love your analysis, as ever. I’m doing a follow up article to http://www.corporatewebsite.com/articles/corporate_blogging/enterprise_microblogging%3A_part_1_%96_the_business_case about microblogs for the enterprise, this time its a wishlist for what us users would like to see when we engage with it at the office. Love to know your thoughts (even tho you seem attached to Twitter!)
Jeremiah -
As the web-strategist, and the changing world you live in, can you comment/blog on the concept of the Social Graph? Specifically, I’d like to know about your issues - positive and negative - that this concepts invokes in the media world where you work/play.
Thanks,
Jennifer
I was reading MSNBC’s article “Facebook’s pursuit of ‘fan-sumers’”, in which you stated that the new advertising attempts on Facebook are “an opportunity to make marketing better” “Since trust is strongest between friends and acquaintances…advertisers should be excited about the opportunity to insert themselves into conversations on Facebook”.
as someone who is a strong opponent of aggressive advertising and a supporter of word-of-mouth, i need to point out that what’s missing here is that word-of-mouth is trusted because its an expression of voluntary information for support of a product that stands out from the rest. if we are impressed enough to tell out friends, we are saying that we support this product/brand because it exceeded our expectations compared to what else was out there. Facebook’s new Beacon advertising is not the same and is a blatant attempt to hide within this trusted form of personal advertising. Beacon is not a show of support, it is only showing others what has been bought. the product has not been experienced yet, and therefore, it is not word-of-mouth, in which people share and EXPERIENCE. this new tactic is not a positive step and is, in fact, more aggressive selling on the part of the companies who have signed up. this is a false sense of ‘trust’ being created simply because one friend decided to buy a product. i will be boycotting those companies and, while i am already selective of the information i share on Facebook (i.e. no interests are ever listed on my profile), i will be even more selective of my use of Facebook.
Laura
Thanks for this feedback, you were right. At the time of the announcement (when I wrote this post) I was not aware of the implications of Beacon and how it would be defaulted for users to opt-out.
In fact, my fellow analyst and colleague Charlene has already posted her surprise.

HI,Jeremiah,
I am in China,and i am glad to know more information about social media from you.
Hey Jeremiah, I just started got hip to your blog & it is awesome, thank you for the information, it is extremely helpful. I am a entrepreneur and I would like to know about web strategies for small businesses. Can small businesses build their marketing efforts around these new principles (conversation/Open) from the beginning. - Enoch
Hey Jeremiah,
It’s been a while since we spoke. I wanted to once again give you the opportunity to look into Pinger as a platform for social networking. Since you can create groups with Pinger it would be simple to see this service as a place for groups to pass information back and forth with one another mobile to mobile. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the service. Check it out at www.pinger.com or just try it yourself by dialing 858 2PINGER, hey it’s free. Hope to hear back from you.

Hi, I need help building a social networking website. Is anyone able to help me?
Thanks
Hi J:
I’ve been following your work for a while - great stuff all around.
I am doing research on ‘Facebook in the Enterprise’. I have seen a lot of ‘experiments’ out there (from Serena to WorkLight) and I have the basic picture.
What I am missing is the ‘Widget’ piece; Do you have any examples of the ‘Facebook Apps’ that are facilitating social networking in the business (..and beyond, of course).
The ‘Out of the box’ Facebook app does not do much for the requirements of the business.. Even the Groups/Nets are pretty simplistic. The ‘Apps’ are where this is really going to happen..
Interested in your thoughts. Keep up the good work.
Thanks - MikeB

Your identification of Elgg as maybe not a white label is wrong - it is a white label, open source and avialble for download and modification see http://elgg.org/
the primary site - I am using it extensively at the university, as are many others - see http://elgg.org/mod/mediawiki/wiki/index.php/About_Elgg for a list of over 40 elgg powered white label social network sites (elgg uniquely combines social networking with collaboration and eportfolio)

Hi Jeremiah,
Your post on Companies , Employees, and Social Media was great - I wrote about and quoted it in my post tonight.

Hi Jeremiah,
more a quick tech check than a comment: i really enjoy reading your daily posts (some great insights that are helping me in the struggle to pull Australian businesses and agencies into the social conversation era. Thanks!), but haven’t received any for a few days now. Just wanted to make sure that you are indeed still posting and the problem is at this end.
Thanks for you time and keep up the great work.
Oh and by the way, any chance of you making a trip to Australia in the near future?
Cheers,
Aaron
Hi Jeremiah, I’ve been thinking about writing a piece on social diversity on social networks and have been poking around trying to look for numbers to support what I may think might be the case. Thus I’m re-thinking what the basis for the piece should be. Just as diversity is shifting more towards a latino based minority and the african american base is shrinking, I imagine that the numbers are skewed that way in social networking. Your thoughts?

Jeremiah,
I have been a long time admirer of your blog and thought pieces, such as this most recent one. I wondered if you would have the time to speak before my Stanford Continuing Studies course of applications of new social media in business. The night I am looking at is July 1,2008 . I wasn’t sure how to reach you, so thought a blog comment might work best. Thank you. Robin D. Stavisky
Jeremiah, 2008 is either been a rough year for you already, or you have decided to ignore the 14 people that have tried reaching out to you. Just Kidding…nevertheless, You have some interesting insight, but….are you sacrificing your blog readers and their comments or questions, in favor of your tweets? and theirs?
Marc
Hi Jeremiah-
I caught your article on Mini-clip and Club Penguin and was doing some research on both companies and was wondering if you knew yourself or if you knew how I could get the traffic numbers Club Penguin receives specifically via their real estate on Mini-Clip and what their conversion rate is from those unique visitors?
Enjoyed the article! Thx.

I think this obsession with technographics is based on a faulty premise. It focuses on current adoption behavior and subject to continuous change as things evolve. What happens when things are fully adopted by the general population. Instead I believe it is much more to focus on the actual activities and let the demo or techno “graphics” trail the content. This whole approach seems self-serving to Forrester and not predicated on the solution. Comments?
