Re:Jason Calacanis: What to do if your startup is about fail on Saturday February 28, 2009 @02:27AM (#498079)

YMMV, but with a larger operation having the CEO get involved in customer engagements that don't mean either closing a big sale or ensuring one isn't lost causes most clients to assume the CEO is their buddy.

This means he's now their go-to guy for the most trivial of issues. Besides being a PITA for the boss this also effectively neuters the account team. Not ideal.

Re:Intelligent soldiers most likely to die in battle (WW2 case study) on Friday December 19, 2008 @04:54PM (#403903)

Officers made up 7%. A non-commissioned officer is simply an enlisted person that has stayed in service long enough to be promoted. Commitment is in no way indicative of intelligence. In some cases it's the opposite.

Re:Top 12 Facebook Marketing Hacks (Douchebaggery) on Tuesday December 02, 2008 @03:03PM (#383500)

For the most part the marketers I'm connected to on Facebook have been respectful of my attention and have limited their messages to channels I've opted in to.

The only thing I've been subjected to that I don't like (though is probably borderline acceptable) is frequent reposting of items. Nothing like having the same link shoved down your throat 10 times a day.
