No! It’s not true!

I am in fact very happy with my client Marqui and what they’ve been doing. However I am NOT happy that we don’t have:

- a dabble mode of the product - so that anyone and everyone can play with it. That will be solved soon. I mean “how can we expect to generate interest and leads if now one can play with the product?”

- where the hell are the stories? Marqui has over 200 customers - but we’ve only generated ONE story so far! How the hell can we expect our bloggers to have something to write about - if there’s nothing to write about? Yo LARRY! What’s up?

- where the hell is the corporate blog? How the hell can you have a corporate voice and respond to criticism and engage folks - without a formal voice? Again - this better happen SOON!

- there are also some complaints I have about the ‘PayBloggers’ page (which is partially my fault anyway) - but besides that - the above mentioned items are what REALLY needs attention to - now.

So there you have it - I have complaints about Marqui - but let me tell you - when I got something to day - I’m gonna say it.

No - it’s another client that I sucked up to, and didn’t speak my mind. But don’t worry I have a fiendish, long-term staretgy for them. It’s the ultimate chess match - trying to get somebody to do something you want them to do - and make them think that they came up with the idea.

Especially since this particular client seems to do that all the time anyway and it’s how he expects to work with others. So after a long time, I just give up fighting him head on, and now it’s jujitsu - let his energy put him where he needs to go, while making sure he falls in the right place and in the right way.

And perhaps ‘falls’ is the wrong word. Maybe it’s ‘fulfills his destiny’.

Dudes and dudesses

Please! Where is the flexibility for sarcasm and my own unique wit? Am I not allowed to have fun?

So when I said “Imagine my delight” I meant it.

Micro-content - micro-formats? Who’s counting?

OPML - XOXO - whatever?

XFN FOAF - who cares?

Can’t we all just learn to live together?

And anything Marty agrees with - I agree with - so let’s just get that straight.

Juts because I didn’t get to meet Tantek’s sister last night (I think it was his sister) doesn’t mean I don’t love Tantek, or Technorati or those long winded searches we’re all becoming used to.

Long live XFN.

Long live alternative XML based standards.

Love live whatever Tantak wants to do. Whether he reivents the wheel or not - doesn’t matter - he’s Tantek.

Let’s just sure it’s all compatible with us backwards thinking old fashioned ‘document’ based fuddy duds.

‘Cause all of life ain’t in an HTML page - at least last I looked.
