LoL, why do they make it so complicated, such a bureaucracy going on around a simple 140 characters or fewer message... "Tweet suggestions" - didn't this sound wrong to them by default? :)

Thanks, Keith! My friends and I definitely will be making the Lyle concert at Red Rocks an annual tradition. :)

Seen Lyle many times and look forward to seeing him in Toronto this November. That's an excellent post!

Thanks. That's interesting to know that only 50% passed. I didn't even complete the entire PPT series before taking the exam and scored a 96%.

Oh, the Lambos are fun. I haven't driven, but have had their drivers take me around a few tracks and maybe a street or two. It's a blast. :)

Keep in touch.

Congrats to you, Troy!

I thought IMU was a great program and was pleasantly surprised by the certification process. I haven't heard the stats for your group, but only about 50% of the first group of test takers passed, so welcome to an awesome group.

p.s. I just dropped by your website. Did you managed to get a test drive from the Lamborghini folks? :)

Re: Denver New Tech Meetup: The Farm Report

jbreazeale — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:46:47 -0000

There used to be tech in the DTC? (LOL) It's mostly banks, finance, and insurance now.

Since you're in Cambridge, you should keep an eye on TechStars (techstars.org) - which expanded to include Boulder *and* Boston this year. Those guys are well connected and always doing something fun with startups.

Jennifer,

Congrats!!! Just received my certification today.

Hey,
I don't remember having so much fun while living in Denver (of course I was there in the mid 90's when the Denver Tech Center (DTC) was the heart of tech. Now everyone's coming meeting in the middle at the Tivoli?

Sounds like a great time along with some very creative minds. I guess that I can't really complain though. Plenty of great minds around here in Cambridge, MA. I'm just missing those Rockies a little bit. Thanks for sharing some Colorado news for us out here on the east coast.

So funny you mentioned that. I'm actually taking a few courses and finally going to pick up the piece of paper that generally takes 4 years to complete but I decided to work and play in my 20's and early 30's. So, guess what final I'm taking on Thursday? Yep, I took a summer course in statistics. Crazy huh?

jbreazeale — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 14:05:49 -0000

Thanks, Dan! I've spent enough time with statistics to ignore most of the numbers that I hear people throw out - at best, you're quoting meaningless data, at worst you're using that meaningless data to make business decisions. Yikes!

Nice article. I missed the presentation and now I don't have to worry about it because you did a great job summarizing. Ok, truth be told. I'll likely listen to it as well.

Traffic, length of time on site, 'hits' - all of these can be so misleading metrics to track when trying to identify if you're truly reaching your optimal prospects. On many occasions, I left a window or two open and then I'm off to lunch. Great post!

Re: Attack of the birds? How to manage Twitter without getting pecked to death

Well, I've spent more time playing around with Hootsuite lately and I wrote a post about it a few days ago but I really like the clean interface of CoTweet so the jury is still out.

One of the main benefits of Hootsuite is the ability to track the number of clicks if you use their URL shortener. I'm still experimenting and I'll let you know the final verdict soon.

Hi Dan -

I've seen a lot of buzz about HootSuite and CoTweet lately, but haven't checked them out for myself. Do you have a preference?

Thanks for stopping by!

Dan Ronken — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:58:18 -0000

Very clever title and your content certainly 'lives up' (get it) to its claim.
All of the 'chirpin' and and 'tweetin' can drive someone nuts if they don't manage them properly. I've come to the same conclusion that quality trumps quantity in the Twittersphere. I've been playing around with HootSuite and CoTweet as well. Thanks for the tips!

Yay! I'm so glad you stopped by. :) I'll drop by and take another look at your post sometime this weekend (I'm sure it's great and even if it's not where you want it to be yet, part of the battle is just to keep writing, right?)

It's interesting that you wrote this because I was just popping over here to say a 'thanks' for your comment on my blog. =) (And that I took your advice and posted a new entry that I hope is more focused but I'm afraid it's probably not... lol.) I try to respond to comments because I always feel so honored when others respond to mine. It makes me feel good. I like to pass around the feel good vibes.

Thanks for writing this up - I wouldn't know about IMU otherwise!

How about a good use of forums by a local company: SurveyGizmo ?

Hey, thanks to you, I just signed up for IMU in August! Looks like a great program!

Congrats! Sounds like interesting stuff. I'd like to go to the next Boulder Open Coffee Club, too! I've seen your name pop up a lot, but I don't think we've met. Thanks so much for your comment on my blog this morning. I'll look forward to reading more of your blog!
