Third-Party Email Sign-Up Done Right 08/17/2010
I'm not a fan of partner and third-party emails. It's not that I don't believe they can be effective; it's just that most marketers go about it all wrong. Many marketers:
I have some good news. I recently opted in to receive emails from CafePress after purchasing a T-shirt on their site. After hitting submit, I was redirected to this landing page [click image to enlarge]:
Right out of the gate, I love it. Thinking about what most marketers do wrong, CafePress got nearly all of it "right."
homemade by jill: alphabet flashcards
Don't believe in the power of Powerpoint? Check out what HomemadeByJill can do:

"I made the cards in Powerpoint using the cutest clip art I could find, and a few simple images I made myself (like the balloon and kite).
"There are two cards for each letter (I wanted to capture all the long/short, hard/soft letter sounds), so I plan to put the matching letter cards back to back, have them laminated, and loop them on a metal ring. I think I'll make flashcards for colors and numbers as well."If you'd like a copy, click here to download the pdf."

The post Hurd HP opportunity
Why I still work at HP... and still want to *believe*.
Former CTO Antonio Rodriguez (someone I have gut busting admiration for) captures the spirit so well in his blog.
Long live the HP Culture of Bill and Dave as the shiny soul of the company.
"The results of my efforts on that front are the subject for another post; here I'm just going to talk about the two types of executives I met during my two years there.
"The first represented the Bill & Dave world: they believed that everyone in the company had to constantly evaluate their own "contribution" to HP, put their head down, and make a difference. Most had Bill & Dave stories of their own, whether it was driving either of the founders to the airport when they were busy visiting one of the company's outposts in Colorado or Idaho, or sitting through a review where Hewlett would encourage a feat of engineering prowess or Packard would explode about "not being able to make a dime" on some engineering breakthrough.
"The second had been teleported in from the central casting departments of other big tech companies that Hurd respected. They used terms like "value add," and "thinking ahead a few chess moves," relished the abstract concept "competitive advantage" and attached totemic reverie to the "P&L reviews" even when it was clear that this was an exercise in cargo cult management. They were also often quite a bit more concerned about managing their "brands" in the face of their SVP, EVP, and eventually Hurd reviews.
"I spent most of my time with my fellow HP executives telling the first kind of folks that the transplants weren't playing the same game as them— that no matter how much it sounded like they were trying to achieve the same goals, there were other motives at work."
Design for the Loss of Control!
“Enterprises currently expend considerable resources trying to impose control on a situation that increasingly appears like it not only can’t be controlled, but almost certainly doesn’t need to be.”
