Either way, though, is that bad?<BR/><BR/>My thoughts:<BR/><BR/>1. I partially agree with you. I disagree in that I do think it's cool - because it's the first time. I agree in that, repeated, it'd get old. And repeated too much, it'd invalidate the worth of status updates. But I trust communities to be self-regulating, so I like this for its novelty and effectiveness, and I'm not worried it'll become a trend.<BR/> <BR/>2. I think I'm jealous of your Friday.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155601456589780895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534513.post-29434999379771971922008-07-18T11:47:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:47:00.000-04:00Congrats on the bump in subscribers, but allow me ...Congrats on the bump in subscribers, but allow me to be the dissenting voice here for a minute. (we've been doing this a lot lately, haven't we?)<BR/><BR/>As someone who already has a lot of Facebook friends in the HARO network, I found it sorta off-putting to see the same slightly cheesy sales pitch show up in everyone's status update on the same day. I read my friend's status updates to see what they're up to, and because it's a chance for everyone to be a little creative in the middle of the workday. Yes, those updates are often professional or self-promotional; I do it myself. But when everyone posts essentially the same ad in that space, it feels like their co-opting a creative social space to sell used Volvos or something. I wound up resenting HARO just a little bit that day.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps everyone should had devised their own sales pitch, or you all could have riffed on a theme. That would have been cool. But when everyone simply posts the exact same sales pitch--Get Famous! Find Love! Buy a Volvo!--it feels like Wal Mart has taken over Facebook, no matter how likeable and friendly a guy Peter is. <BR/><BR/>So while it's taking advantage of social media in a cool way, it's also kind of devaluing it. <BR/><BR/>But hey, that's just me. And i am pretty drunk right now.Douglas Quenquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708477314018473647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534513.post-56852583492470045452008-07-17T13:52:00.000-04:002008-07-17T13:52:00.000-04:00It's like HARO has it's own day :)It's like HARO has it's own day :)Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204885104599165145noreply@blogger.com
