I dare you to come up with a more pointless list of New Year Resolutions!
Here is my list of resolutions for the next year…I am so not serious about any of these except #2, #8 and #12.
- Work out at least twice a week
- Find a vampire and convince him or her to turn me into one
- Eat healthy food – nuts and fruits included
- Come up with a failure-proof get-rich-soon scheme
- Learn to swim
- Make a detailed plan to somehow get a date with Megan Fox before I die
- Write ten songs in ten different genres complete with a three piece musical arrangement, record them for an all online release of my debut CD
- Learn and master telepathy
- Paint a life-size portrait of someone or something that is worthy of hanging in a museum
- Learn how to actually paint before I attempt the above
- Travel to at least ten remote locations in India where there are no roads, water and electricity and stay in each for two weeks
- Gain the supernatural power of being able to read minds of people around me
- Write a kick-ass movie script and get Megan Fox and Scar-Jo to star in it….with me
- Put in extra effort in doing #2 so that I have an eternity to complete them at my own relaxed pace. Also Megan Fox would have to go on that date else I would feast on her :->

Radian6: Thanks to your Awesome Customer Service, I know my ancient notebook is not that sucky :-)
Below is the entire email conversation between Radian6 Customer Support and me. The final one on top is by Cory Perry – a Customer Support Specialist -at Radian6. I wonder how many firms have a customer support let alone a specialist! Plus check out how the system automatically forwards my email to not one, not two but SEVEN specialists.
American Express sells tickets for Bon Jovi concert exclusively on Twitter

The benefit to City Harvest is a great goodwill gesture but I am still wondering of direct business value to American Express. Is this really the best way to leverage social media platforms?

Priceless Quote from “Behind Closed Doors: What’s On the Mind Of Chief Marketing Officers”
This a great quote…I’d even say priceless. Thanks to Greg Walsh for saying it and to Jeremiah for sharing it. Another great analogy I like for social media is comparing it to the Indian traffic…
