Wahooly?
We are all looking for the next big thing? I can remember telling my grandfather about a company that had a funny name but it was doing wild things with early searching. Yup, I told him about Yahoo. He invested a little bit, not in the beginning , but was able to cash out before the Internet bubble blew up in everyone’s face.
I told him before he died about the cool things that I would find, trying to get his acceptance.
I swear he had to think I was crazy 18 year old kid but when I hit, I hit good. When I didn’t it made me mad. I wanted to be on the ground floor of something cool.
Recently I have had a bunch of things that I thought were cool all get gobbled up:
I loved Grand Central , then they got gobbled up by Google.
I thought Bloglines was incredible, but then Ask.com took it, stripped it and shut it down before it was revived by Merchant Circle. (BTW, I’m still pissed off that I lost all my saved previous favorite blog entries.)
I think that there are great things out there for us to try:
I still have people at the corporate office who have no idea why having a Klout score over 20 is so important and social media is still in its infancy.
I know some of you think that Social Media is in its prime right now. Those of you who went to CES 2012 saw Intel’s Social Cockpit and was amazed by the information that can be gathered now.
I think that Social Media/ SEO and all the buzz words out there mean NOTHING without one thing.
Content.
It doesn’t matter if I have 200 people or 200,000 people reading my site, Facebook, Twitter feeds etc, if my content isn’t targeted and to a point. Doesn’t matter what the point is, it has to have a point. Read more…

It is time for me to start writing again.
A lot of things have happened to me from my accident to my recent illness. But I’ve realized that it is necessary for me to move on.
I’m still not feeling well but after I look at this amazing picture of perspective, everything that I worry about is meaningless.
Are you ready to explore this giant blue marble of my mind again?
Going back to the quote-o-matic (http://www.donahue.org/2011/06/09/which-quote-should-i-write-up-next/) and getting a post ready for you!!

Now Regretsy has been having an issue with Paypal. After Wil Wheaton linked a post where Regretsy was pretty much screwed by PayPal they IMMEDIATELY went into damage control posting on the PayPal Blog.
Wait a min… you screwed this charity and you are smiling about it?
Yup, they left the Director of Communications smiling picture up as if to say. SCREW YOU for catching us stealing from you.
But if you look at their main page…
He is frowning as if to say. I’m sorry that we got caught and it won’t happen again.
Nice snow job PayPal.
Now PAY THE PIPER!
That’s Tragedy!
