His area where he has speaking engagements it just has My Speaking Engagements are handled by the Leigh Bureau and I assume that is a link but if I was looking to see if he was doing any speaking in my area I am not really going to click another link to look for it elsewhere. That is just stupid. His site is a little less then compelling. Funny that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834109246474026923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-60855762354019533022007-02-28T19:51:00.000-08:002007-02-28T19:51:00.000-08:00Gladwell's website is average, I actually thought ...Gladwell's website is average, I actually thought it would have been better. hence I have only been there once and never returned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-79420949477767273582007-02-28T14:51:00.000-08:002007-02-28T14:51:00.000-08:00Robert,Famous people stink.

I also do not deny that our stupid society makes famous people a great way to sell products. It is incredibly smart advertising to get your wares on a famous person. Hell I give away a lot of my wares to non-famous people to spread the word about my website and I would absolutely be thrilled if I actually hooked a celebrity. But a whole blog where I say how great of marketing ideas free gift bags are is not something that people would read. Throwing a tantrum about rich people congratulating themselves and then making fun of their award speeches while I am in the middle of putting together a pointless award show myself where all the free awards and swag will come from my design is pure blogging gold. It is called a smart hook. Yeah you know you want to see the repetitive task awards swag. Guess you better nominate yourself. Oh and by the way send my blog to Malcom Gladwell if you get a chance he might enjoy it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834109246474026923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-67592951195556300032007-02-28T14:25:00.000-08:002007-02-28T14:25:00.000-08:00While I feel your pain in regards to the speaches,...While I feel your pain in regards to the speaches, I am going to have to play devil's advocate. I'll start with the freebies/swag. While it bums me out that personalized bags full of goodies are given to people with money, I agree with the motive. Come on Mike, you have to agree as well because you like Malcom Gladwell's books. It's kind of like the tipping point - by putting these items into the hands of "famous" people who are in the news and photographed way to much, you can create a buzz for your product. You also have to realize that not all of these celeb's keep these gifts, soem dontate them to auction's for charities. Many of the swag bags from the Sundance Film Festival were auctioned off on ebay. <BR/>Next, just because acting/singing is their job, they still deserve recognition for jobs well done. Most award shows are based on peer and fan votes. Wouldn't you like to know that your peers voted you "sexiest beast alive!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-54311562764590590162007-02-27T23:41:00.000-08:002007-02-27T23:41:00.000-08:00We have a set of values here this isn't give your ...We have a set of values here this isn't give your annoying neighbor an award saying Most Annoying Neighbor award although that gives me another award show to start. Holy crap I can make an award show for everything!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834109246474026923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-60442847474888862612007-02-27T23:40:00.000-08:002007-02-27T23:40:00.000-08:00Well I guess snoring is repetitive but I am not su...Well I guess snoring is repetitive but I am not sure if it is a task, I guess putting up with snoring is a task. So I think I may have to put Glenn up for the award. Which brings up an interesting dilemma about the annoying music, if we go the same route Maryann would get the nod for putting up with it but Glenn could get the nod for repetitively seeking out bad music, purchasing bad music and playing said bad music. It all depends on where you want to go with it. I want my award to be for something you do well not something you do and other people deal with because then I would win for snoring and the people that deal with my snore are the ones that need an award. Just like it isn't the bill collector that gets the award it is the bill payer that would.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834109246474026923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25897670.post-85505406805368612052007-02-27T12:14:00.000-08:002007-02-27T12:14:00.000-08:00I would like to nominate my beautiful wife Maryann...I would like to nominate my beautiful wife Maryann for the Snoring Award. This appears to meet the criteria for a repetitive task. It's a very pleasant, ladylike sound but snoring is snoring. I'm sure she would like to nominate me for something too... perhaps the Annoying Music award? (too much hair metal on the playlist, I guess)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
