Just got this in my inbox. Nice way to wake up 🙂

I’ve said over and over that I hope Twitter doesn’t go down the route of being acquired by Micro/Hoo/Goo. Even an ad deal with one of them seems a little troublesome to me (but it’s a business, so they’ve got to pay the bills).

I think Twitter has the potential to become a platform to compliment pop3 or IMAP with open 2 way API’s.

Yahoo & Twitter Ad Partnership in the Works?: “I just signed up for a new Twitter account today and my first Twitter generated friend was Yahoo! or Yahoo Search Marketing’s YahooAdBuzz Twitter profile…”

This probably doesn’t hint at anything substantive, but it does make me nervous.

So I’m watching Barbarella for the first time tonight.

What a random yet insane movie. I love it. Although, this scene with the dolls is going to give me nightmares:

I’m only about 20 mins in so far, but it’s been well worth the time investment up to this point 🙂

merlin mann is a presentation genius and all around excellent guy to learn from. it amazes me that his pitch in this video is the same one i’ve seen (but in earnest) dozens of times at conferences.

i need to get better at my own presentation style. following matt webb and merlin recently has really prodded me to develop a more eclectic style that allows what i’m trying to communicate to get out there while also being a little different from the pack.

or something like that. 

Wayne Porter and I did a podcast last night where we discussed exactly what "next-gen" marketing means with practical examples, ideas and implementations.

The podcast runs about 90 minutes and we discuss Wayne’s conception of Next Gen marketing and possible futures of online and affiliate marketing.

It’s not a podcast for everyone, but if you’re willing to think a little deeper, there’s a ton of value in here.

Dunbar’s number has been popularized as the supposed cognitive limit to the number of individuals with whom any one person can maintain stable social relationships: the kind of relationships that go with knowing who each person is and how each person relates socially to every other person.[1] Proponents assert that group sizes larger than this generally require more restricted rules, laws, and enforced policies and regulations to maintain a stable cohesion.

Dunbar’s number was first proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who theorized that “this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size … the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained.” On the periphery, the number 150 also includes past colleagues such as high school friends with whom a person would want to reacquaint themselves if they met again.[2]
