If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me for a t-shirt, I’d have at least enough for a new Zune HD (how’s that for a shameless product plug?) So rather than all of you being at the mercy of my random whims and free time where I can actually respond to said requests, we’re going to start something a little new here at Bing Ranch. Every Friday we’re […]

Mr Godin has a very interesting technique for creating a nice small capsule ! Obviously he has a clear conscience and collect’s his thought’s ! I decided to list another one of my other favorite authors Frédéric Louis Sauser (September 1, 1887 – January 21, 1961), better known as Blaise Cendrars, was a Swiss novelist and poet naturalized French in 1916. A writer of considerable influence in the modernist movement.
He was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Neuchâtel, Switzerland to a bourgeois francophone family. Initially, they attempted to send young Frédéric to a German boarding school, but he ran away. After, they tried enrolling him in a school in Neuchâtel, but he had little enthusiasm for his studies. Finally, in 1904, he left school due to poor performance and began an apprenticeship with a Swiss watchmaker in Russia.
It was in St Petersburg that he began to write, thanks to the encouragement of R.R., a librarian at the Updated link to the National Library of Russia. There he wrote the poem La Légende de Novagorode, which R.R. translated into Russian. Supposedly fourteen copies were made, but Cendrars claimed to have no copies of it, and none could be located during his lifetime. In 1995, the Bulgarian poet Kiril Kadiiski found one of the Russian translations in Sofia. Today the authenticity of the document is still contested.
I get email regarding my reblogs critisizing me for choosing favorites ! I was accused by one Geek from Friend Feed as a spammer the editors at Mahalo don’t like rebloggers http://www.mahalo.com/ but I still Follow Mr Calacanis since he writes a good Newsletter and his editors, nice folks wrote me a personal e mail explaining what type of content they want bookmarked on Mahalo ! Not Friend Feed one Geek Wrote Another Geek on the staff I was posting in one of their Sacred Areas with the wrong content couldn’t face me directly but Geeks can only communicate with Machines Not people for the most part ! Well I have a feeling about Micro Blogging Apps they are this Generations Edsel ! The Edsel was a marque of the Ford Motor Company during the 1958, 1959 and 1960 model years. The brand is known best as one of the biggest commercial failures in the history of American business. Now I at 72 years have dealt with all kinds of folks and seen all the great failure’s of my time in Grade ! So to the devil with critics ! I still shall promote the Seth Godin’s Steve Rubel’s Dave Winers and other who i like !

I write and speak on social media’s impact on business and culture. Some of this is conducted in public and some of it is done for companies and private organizations.
In recent times, I have been an editorial contributor to BusinessWeek, Dow Jones and FastCompany. Ad Age, ranks this blog #59 on its Power 150 list . I am co-author, with Robert Scoble, of Naked Conversations–how blogs are changing the way businesses talk with customers, which has been called a seminal book on business blogging. I am working on a second book on Twitter and business.
I follow social media wherever it takes me. On this site, I’ve interviewed more than 100 people in 35 countries for my Social Media Global Report. I’ve talked to a diverse group of people, ranging from Michael Dell, founder of Dell Computers to Wael Abbas, who posts hidden camera videos on YouTube showing acts of Egyptian police brutality. My public talks very often discuss the stories and findings of the SM Global Report. If you are interested in supporting this ongoing weekly effort email me.
Since 2005, I’ve been a featured speaker nearly 50 times in eight countries. More than 10,000 people have heard me speak on social media.
I serve as a senior fellow to the Society for New Media Research.

As many of you are aware, three months ago I did something that some considered virtual heresy. After five years and 5300 posts I shuttered my blog, Micro Persuasion, in favor of this lifestream. I set out to find a middle ground between a blog and a tweet. I longed for a new approach where I could post shorter items, more often and in more visual and cre […]
