Hi CV: I sent a reply post to your post on the Work from Within blog, and I’m excited about what you do! Looks like we both know Neil Crofts, too. I haven’t spoken with him in quite a while, and looks like you bring a more researched approach, but I’m thankful to have both of you out there promoting authenticity. Hooray!

Wishing you all the best,
Susan

just landed after reading you comment on personal branding and now I got to see where our views meet

Your blog regarding Wal-Mart and Girl Scout cookies has certainly drawn much attention, including my own. Particularly considering your education and background, I am curious what type of research you conducted regarding the impact this will actually have on sales of the “real thing.” Honestly, the note struck me as having an emotional tone backed by little objective proof of the impact Wal-Mart will have on the unique organization that is the Girl Scouts.

While it will almost certainly impact sales on some level, it seems that people buy those cookies from Girl Scouts, in large part, to support the Girl Scouts. This is presumably the same reason people purchase rather expensive popcorn from Boy Scouts although numerous brands are cheaper and of equal quality. I believe this same theory could be applied to many overpriced goods schools send children out to sell as fund-raising activities.

To be honest, I have not read all of your replies to the comments accompanying the blog, but I did see the remark about “dumb comments.” I suppose I feel compelled to add my “dumb comment” to the pile and say that as I read the blog I too felt that you made the Girl Scouts sound like an elitist organization that should be above any form of competition.

I must admit that my ears always perk up when I hear someone bashing Wal-Mart because, while they have certainly had their problems, they are simply the easiest target because they are so effective in what they do. The “best” so frequently seems to be an easy target (reasoning by analogy, I point to the New York Yankees in baseball, the United States in the “world setting,” or McDonald’s in food service–each example is widely considered the “best” and each draws ire as a result).

I hope these comments do not offend you, as that is certainly not my intent. I just wanted to point out that a seemingly emotion-driven blog that appeared to accuse Wal-Mart of attacking the Girl Scouts led to emotional “dumb” responses, including my own.

Sincerely,
Bryan

Hi,
I think this site is worth checking out, we put quite a few unique features that most Twitter users will like.
Downtweet has 4 separate boxes for streaming. You can drag and drop pre-selected categories into each box and watch the live stream. When you 1st get to the site you can see the News category is already in the 1st box. You can also drag and drop categories into existing boxes.
You can edit each feed too, so if there is someone you want to add into a category that can be done. Each box has a custom search bar so you can search for all tweets relating to specific subjects.
Also you’re able to create a custom DownTweet feed for your site or blog and you can login with a twitter account on the far right and watch your stream live. The 4 boxes can collapse into 2 large streams as well.

The initial feedback has been good anyone who likes Twitter seems to really like Downtweet. Some people like to just go and type something their interested in and watch the live stream, for example somebody is really into billiards so he typed in 9-ball and found many interesting sites and info related. People also seem to like that they can just come and get info really fast, no waiting, no signup ect..

I personally have found downtweet very useful if i want quick info on a person, subject or company.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
