It’s not what you say, but how you say it:

In the latest of the “I’m a Mac… and I’m A PC” ads, Apple takes Microsoft head on for their “laptop hunter” ads.

To me, turnabout is fair play, because the worst marketing move Microsoft could EVER make is to directly TALK OPENLY about Apple.

Calling them “the OS that shall not be named” would be more effective.

Lance Halladay is a good digital artist.

I got tuned into Lance’s work because of a great video he did for Entice Labs, a company that looks like it will literally turn the recruiting and sourcing industries on their respective ears.

Here’s a funny video he did that goes along with a funny skit from Jim Gaffigan about how long church is (specifically, catholic mass).  Awesome stuff.

He’s also a comedian himself.

This photo totally rocks. Funny how revolutions seem so ordinary after the fact.

Awesome.

Yeah, I know T-Mobile’s “Life is for Sharing” video is a promotional stunt, but just watching this makes me smile, and I hope it does the same for you:

Overhearing a few conversations yesterday drove home the point to me that Twitter (or identi.ca or pownce, plurk or even email) is really simply a way to have conversations.

Kumbaya, and all that

This screenshot from my twitter feed shows @cachedout bumming about his speeding ticket (bottom image). Seconds later, @littleidea replies in-kind (see top image). Misery loves company. Speeding ticket recipients are not immune from this most-basic human desire.

What you say is irrelevant.

Who you say it to is highly relevant.

And, the network will pwn you if you say things too far out of context, or without consideration of who you are talking to.

Yet, the network will <3 you if you show up real, human, and relevant. Using twitter for business? That’s a lot different than just using it to catch up with friends on Friday night, or to keep tabs on your family.

Crossover posts? No problem sometimes, but beware the implications. Sharing a great insight from a book to your friends isn’t dangerous. But, joking with your friends about how out of control Friday night got, and your co-workers are listening in… might come back to get you.
