Love your thought process Jason. I tend to write whenever i feel the itch to do it, and usually just bust out something in the 1000 word range all at once. Its strange, but I prefer writing on the iPad and using dictation. I find that easier for some reason (hearing how it sounds out loud as opposed to just writing and reading it back).
Also like the new design. I had no idea that C&C was more than just you, so that is definitely something your new design should convey ;)
You know, it does drive me crazy to see as many brand messages as friend messages on my newsfeed. I typically will just hide their updates though, if they get too spammy for my taste. That is one huge benefit of interacting with brands via Facebook (as opposed to Twitter). I tend to find the interaction with brands on Twitter very noisy, and thats one place where following a bunch tends to make the entire service unusable.
@browneknows Wow! Thanks a bunch i had no idea!
Been spending more time on LinkedIn lately (don't we all when looking for a new job!). Agree with your characterization of it. What really surprises me is how many people are ACTIVE there given its boring nature. The one thing i dislike about LI though is the connection with new people aspect. Unless you have someone who can make introductions, it can be hard to reach new people.
Best blog post I have read today. Really nicely done Jay. Yeah, it is that second part that is the tough one.
