BELL: Yes, as someone who tweets publicly I want to know what others are tweeting publicly.

JohnnyCanuck: Then create searches or lists or use Tweetdeck. Public following is as good as an endorsement. You’re doing it wrong.

When you do things like this, not only do you show the world how incompetent you are at Social Media but also with talking with people in general. As an added bonus you show the world how badly run your marketing department is. The fact that no one in a 50,000 employee company sat down with this person and checked their very very public work is pretty bloody scary…

This is why my TV, Internet and Home Phone are with a cable company, and my 2 iPhones are with your competitor.

Everything in our world is different because of the device you’re reading this on.

What are we going to do with it?

When laying down a track, do you think it’s possible to leave out the police sirens? May I instead off the suggestion of using the sound of a wounded dolphin?

I’m getting awfully tired of having to guiltily slow down for no reason.

Disobedience, in the beginning, creates independence. But the later acts of disobedience that most of us perform don’t creating anything. They’re small and pathetic. They are useless acts of control performed to create an illusion of agency that no longer exists.

What you need now is a big act of disobedience.

The problem with disobedience on a large scale is not one anarchy, but actually one of uniqueness. When you were a kid and did bad things you were establishing your own identity and demonstrating uniqueness.  A “Big Act of Disobedience” when you are an adult will only work if you are the only one doing it and you already have a reputation of being a leader or a trendsetter. Anyone else will simply be marginalized and therefore ignored.

The only time “Big Acts of Disobedience” ever work on a large scale is: Revolutions to overthrow governments and the formation of unions in Walmart. The latter usually ends with everyone getting fired or Walmart moving to another town.

I get the idea of what Julien is trying to say, but the reality of “Disobey” is to be branded “Troublemaker“. If you can manage to pull of troublemaker without getting fired, your Disobedience should just be labelled Leadership.

Marketers have figured out that the incremental cost of promising better service to better customers is pretty cheap. Of course, delivering that is expensive, but that’s someone else’s problem.

Sadly this is becoming the norm, even at the Apple Store, where you Genuis appointment is regularly delay by 10-15 minutes because some wit ProCare just trumped your AppleCare.

Just because there are no firestorms on the porch doesn’t mean you’re doing okay.

This is some great solution-finding from a goverment group I didn’t think was in to that sort of thing.

If it wasn’t for Forkbombr.net I would never read stuff like this, and that would be a huge freakin shame.
