Well you know I do have a tendency to pick on Stupid things companies do and boy, do I have another doozy coming up when I finish this post. Apple pulls another complete boner. However today, I want to bring your attention to perhaps one...
OK, I may or may not be starting a regular thing here with the “Not So Much Joke Of The Day”. The point being some of my best lessons have been learned why laughing. No this may be after I cried for awhile, but the...
“Hacked PCs falsify billions of ad clicks” This is from the Financial Times today. Cool huh? The botnets posted billions of clicks on ads. Now doesn’t that make you feel better about your adword spend? This is actually old news for those of us in...
And I thought I knew….LOL As I sit doing my every once in awhile inventory of what is swimming around in my noodle today, I actually woke thinking about the things that I thought that I knew. My mental world started getting rocked pretty early as my parents seemed to enjoy a somewhat different lifestyle than most. My Mom was a History and English teacher and my Dad worked in the Government with Computers way back when they were the size of a whole building and they were fairly well politically connected and because of this I got to do some very unique things at a young age. I was also encouraged to explore pretty much anything my intellect desired. Got to meet Governor’s, Senators, and Congressman from the Kennedy’s on down.
But guess what? When you tell your teacher your Mom and sister just had breakfast with the Governor that morning for show and tell and that you talked to him the day before next to Smokey The Bear and the Bat Mobile at the State Fair and you get called a liar in front of your classmates, you immediately become a jaded with stupid people before you are out of third grade. Who knew? I figured out that truth be damned, adults believed what they wanted to no matter what. In this case, Mrs. Jarvis was indeed a twit. Is it any wonder I wrote her off as a twit at an tender age right then and there? It took me a week to figure out that even though I had a crush on her, she was an idiot. I have never been attracted to women with big calves or those that did not take me at face value since.
Anyway I digress here, after the Kennedy’s, I realized that there was something not quite right with politicians and a lot of adults at a very early age . I hung mostly around adults that were pretty smart for the most part, but I actually got to know and lose respect for most grown ups as a whole. So, I think I got the best of both worlds in that the farm grounded me, but hanging around a bunch of movers and shakers kind of rounded me out a bit. I learned to appreciate the farm much more than the politicians. At least the BS out there came out of the right end of the animals….LOL Yes, I lead a rather strange childhood , but all in all a rewarding childhood at that.
I remember one of the first things that disabused me of the notion that things were they way you were told at school and what is out there publicly may not necessarily be true is that you can almost take to the bank that Alexander Graham Bell more than likely did not invent the telephone. Thanks Mom!
It was actually a man named Elijah Gray that in fact did the deed. They actually got to the patent office on the same day and eventually Bell was given the patent. But, Bell used a microphone invented by Gray and it was later admitted by the patent examiner on public record that Bell did in fact bribe him to let him look at Gray’s patent application and thus screw the pooch on old Gray. I was shocked when I learned this as a kid. I thought Bell was a prick, and still do… This was kind of when I started to question everything. Little did I know that I should have questioned even more.Continue Reading
Below is the fourth interview I have done with Dave O over at Hootsuite. This all started when Hootsuite was just one of many Social Media tools and I decided to see if I could pick a winner and follow their success and growth. Also because I needed a great Social Media tool for myself and my clients.
Boy did I ever pick a winner with Hootsuite. They have come to dominate in the Social Media arena and branched out and made their too even more valuable.
If you are online and in business, (OK can you not be online and in business?) then you will find that HootSuite can help you make more money period.

Andrew: Hi, there everybody. This is Andrew Anderson and I have Dave O. from HootSuite on the line. Dave, how are you doing?
Dave: Great, man. I think this is my fourth time on the show. Do I get some special jacket or something now?
Andrew: You do, it’s in the mail and there are several other goodies. So, you should receive them any day now.
Dave: Wonderful man, well it’s great to be back to chronicle the continued adventures of HootSuite with you.
Andrew: Yes. A couple of topics today that I’d like to go over if you don’t mind with your permission, your international growth which is like it’s going through the roof; the app directory stuff that you’ve got going on and what’s with the Hoot ups?
