The TwitterStars.com Theme

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

markdavidson I have created the greatest WordPress theme in the history of the world!

mattdelves @markdavidson That’s a horrible theme.

markdavidson @mattdelves What are you talking about? That theme is *perfect*

mattdelves @markdavidson The theme has horrible colors which hurt the eyes to look at.

markdavidson @mattdelves Okay, I’ll switch the header to a powder blue, change the outline to a nice grey with a soft glow, and change the link colours.

mattdelves @markdavidson That sounds like the default wordpress theme.

markdavidson @mattdelves How much are you trying to raise to fund your new software project?

jpostman theme schmeme

DaisyAvenue @jpostman Are you doing that in bed, from your iPhone, heavily medicated just to make fun of @markdavidson’s fun, colorful theme? Too sweet!

mattdelves @markdavidson Trying to raise around $7k. This should see me to the end of the year and release http://Scribere.info

jpostman @DaisyAvenue you are scary smart

markdavidson @mattdelves http://scribere.info/ sounds like a worthwhile software project! Good luck! http://twitter.com/mattdelves/statuses/818183874

eeUS @DaisyAvenue @markdavidson I can’t believe I made TwitterStars! That yellow will really wake someone up in the morning! Is that the intent

jpostman @DaisyAvenue @mattdelves is keeping @markdavidson honest. all I have to do is relax and watch the community police its own

DaisyAvenue @jpostman But when I look at http://www.twitterstars.com I just want to put on my red patent leather roller skates and DANCE! :-D

markdavidson @eeUS According to @mattdelves, “The theme has horrible colors which hurt the eyes to look at.” Meh. Programmers. http://scribere.info/

eeUS @markdavidson It’s the content that counts, right? However, stars & red, white, and blue would be nice. What does your creative side think?

markdavidson @eeUS BRIGHT YELLOW!

veewow @markdavidson nice one

eeUS @markdavidson Yellow does not distract from the content. I saw the site. It helped me wake up this morning. Yellow is happy, bitterpants.

RickWolff @markdavidson I fell upon a graphics freelance gig, which might get rather big-picture conceptually. I’m combing TwitterStars for hints.

eeUS @markdavidson There goes your reputation :) Mr. Happypants

JeannieGrrl @markdavidson Lovely!! http://TwitterStars.com gave me a lovely glow with my AM java today. A great little snicker or three. Looking great!

Conversation With Amanda Chapel, Part III

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

amandachapel: @PurpleCar @chrisbrogan | I know I should speak up but… I just get nervous… I’m so afraid what other might think.

markdavidson: @amandachapel If you find yourself at a loss because of something you wrote, you could hire a PR firm specializing in crisis management. :-)

amandachapel: @markdavidson | I’m ALWAYS open to assistance from a PR firm to help me with my reputation.

markdavidson: @amandachapel Not just your reputation which BTW, I think you are marvelously positioned but to leverage your following into a community.

markdavidson: @amandachapel What are some key things you consider when you are evaluating which PR firm to hire? I eagerly await your response. Thanks.

amandachapel: @markdavidson simple: how close is their billing aligned with results; is their definition of results tactical or strategic; plan; and team.

markdavidson: For those who are not familiar with @amandachapel; The Washington Post has an excellent write up about her: http://tinyurl.com/3xu864

markdavidson: My advice is to read everything that @amandachapel writes. She’s the silent voice of your worse client. Learn all you can from her dialogs.

markdavidson: @amandachapel That is excellent advice. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with me. Thank you.

Marketing, In My Timeline?

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

markdavidson Someone provided me a link for an ebook on how to market using Twitter. It’s $20. Please save your money. Ask me anything you want instead.

markdavidson My email address is mark.davidson@shiftplusone.com. I will take all the questions and answers and then open source them with full credits.

annezieger @markdavidson OK Mark, how should corporate Twitterers like @HRBlock make themselves known in this medium?

Owlbert @markdavidson I can’t resist. How do I market using Twitter?

HRBlock @annezieger @markdavidson We await your answer with much anticipation!

markdavidson I will answer all questions individually. Please include your name, company, URL, Twitter name, and social-network links. I’ll distribute.

markdavidson @annezieger An excellent open-ended question. Thank you for the opportunity to answer. Please give me 24 hours. Thank you. :-)

annezieger @markdavidson I’m known for big questions, Mark. I’m sure you can handle it though :-)

The answers are coming. Nobody sent me an email, so I’ve decided to blurb in 10 chunk sections, on Twitter. It’s a little bit of extra work but it’s coming along. Please be patient with me. Thanks.
