No, Come Back! It’s Not So Hard
via Behavioral Insider by Steve Smith on May 15, 2008
When a loan vendor loses 97% of its incoming traffic because its application form is too long and hard, then something has to be done. Of course, changes need to be made to the on-site form and process itself. In the meantime, however, the company needs to do something to retrieve that lost, lucrative customer base.

Digsby- Finally a Good IM Client
via Three Minds On Digital Marketing @ Organic by Misha Cornes on March 25, 2008
If you're slightly OCD with your software tools like I am, you've tried all the IM clients out there. Including the official ones like MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo IM, ICQ, etc., as well as the 3rd party ones such as Trillian, Pidgin (formerly GAIM), and Miranda.

Me on Charlie Rose
via The Long Tail by Chris Anderson on March 07, 2008
This was fun. My interview on FREE was paired with one with TechCrunch's Michael Arrington, who not only has better hair (that would be any hair at all), but also had the good manners to button his suit, wear a less ridiculous shirt than me and otherwise fly the Silicon Valley team flag with aplomb. I, meanwhile, managed to put my foot in it by suggesting that Charlie Rose was of the "wrong...
