Taking Everything Up a Notch
February 23rd 2009
Today I woke up and needed to record. Of course my computer didn’t feel like cooperating with me so I just fired up iTalk and did it that way. First of the morning brain dump on a variety of topics for today’s Managing the Gray.
Topics and links discussed on today’s show:
- The Advance Guard and our newly updated web site
- Social Media Jungle: Boston – Use promo code ZUPIYYHS and get $50 off the registration fee
- Do You Know Clarence?

[...] wondered out loud about this on today’s Managing the Gray and after recording I found an e-mail address for questions about the Kindle and sent them a note. [...]
Ha, I just listened to your show and the fun thing is my Mom wants a Kindle 2 for her birthday next week. I didn’t even really know what it was!?!? Anyway, My Project is getting my photography business up and running and I want to thank you again for the chance to test my skills at the Fashion Galla during Fashion Week! I will have a short slide show of it up at the Half Show soon. Also there was a short little shout out by our guest to you on thehalfshow.com we just put up. When you get a chance listen in.

CC, everybody ready to play but waiting for s.b. to call the game or the rules is a great analogy. You should pursue it further I think (the analogy as well as the “to be named game”). It’s about time somebody came up with Social Media’s Quidditch.
Hey C.C.
My project for the year is to write music for my friend Bren’s play, “Angleton Grill.” Here’s how it qualifies for the three s’s.
single thing – um, yes.
stretchable – It has to be very blues inspired music, especially for one of the characters. For some reason writing blues and jazz has always intimidated me, part of the reason why I have been avoiding this project.
satisfying – yeah, of course. I have been in a rut of avoiding composing for years, so getting this accomplished would be both satisfying AND inspirational.
Thanks for planting the seed, C.C.!
Catching up with your show and was a great episode, my goal for th year is to complete a few new paintings, b/c in the last few years I havent been painting at all. Good luck with your project.
Hi C.C.,
You said something really simple about ROI and the Long-tail in this podcast that got me thinking. I realize you are speaking mostly to larger companies, but your words are true for the beginner and small business person too. ROI is so important, especially now that money seems all the more scarce, but it does not always have to be immediate and it can pay to take a longer view approach too. There has to be more to it than single quarter results for the start up guy who may not have the resources to take it up to much of a notch anyway. I have a new podcast for people getting started in Internet business, called The Niche Show, and this is something I find so interesting. Social media today allows for some unique opportunities for us to take a longer, minimal cost, path to returns that simply would not have been available in tough times of the past.
