Friendly Intelligence - January 26, 2008

by Micah on January 27th

So my move to Boulder is 99% and nothing seems to have been lost or broken (although one of my cats hasnt been seen in a day. Hopefully, that will change tomorrow.) Its funny how when one is hyperfocused on one particular problem, there is bit of an expectation that the world stops until one finds the solution.

But real life is always there to remind you of the falseness of that belief. And my friend’s blog posts are empirical evidence to the contrary as well.

Whoa! - Tyler Willis spends a huge amount of time each day pouring through Tumblr posts, and reblogs the best on his. While I am not a big fan of the political stuff, Tyler has a knack of finding what we call in NorCal, hella cool shit. This is no exception.

The value of split testing - Josh Fraser, one of the founders of EventVue, and a developer by trade almost backs into a practice that us marketing folk have known about for years. Its great to see that I know about ONE thing that a big brain like Josh doesnt. With the post, though, the list gets shorter…

FiltrBox is hiring - Cool company, interesting product, founded and run by two people I am proud to call friends, Ari Newman and Tom Chikoore. If you fit the bill send them a resume. If you dont, tell someone who does.

Long Week in Technology Last Week -As some might know, I met John at StartupWeekend DC. A nice unassuming guy with a quiet demeanor. Then you hear him talk about things he is passionate about, and he blows you away. Take a look at what he did last week. Me? I moved to Boulder.

Maybe I am the famous Dave Taylor WWE wrestler after all - Dave Taylor is somewhat of a legend around these parts. He runs AskDaveTaylor, speaks at various conferences, and certainly can be considered a leader in conversational marketing. But, do you want to know the man? Read the last sentence of this post. It is the quintessential Dave Taylor, and exactly why I am glad to call him friend.

Micah,

Thanks, again for having me in your "Friendly Intelligence" list of articles.

It's nice to know that people are reading my posts, really enjoying them, possibly learning something from them, or even being inspired by them.

See you next time your in DC.

So in the time that you have been doing the weekly recap, John C has made it on the list twice, where I have made it only once. I guess I need to kick my blogging up a notch to make another weekly recap, I am feeling left out ;-). The other option would be to send you money or some other form of bribery, but that does not seem to fair.

Will
