$1 Coffee a sustainable model?

So with the recent Starbuck’s test of a $1.50 short in Seattle and rumors of a $1 bottomless cup it could make it cheaper to consume more paper products and miscellaneous packaging. That being said – you can make your own coffee, here is the ROI to justify a crazy expensive espresso and cafe Americano maker. Not sure this model would standalone under the $1 pricing model.

Below is a baseline framework for establishing the benefits of brewing your own coffee, the model assumes you are financially responsible in part for someone else’s coffee too.

5 Ways YOU can launch a Twitter stream remediation program

Twitter is most certainly one of the more interesting tools in social media. Small- terse messages of random interaction. My specific twitter network is just a little more eclectic than other social segments I frequent.

Twitter just like any social network continues to evolve to include an increasingly diverse set of media snacks for a growing cross section of the population.

5 Ways to Initiate a Stream Remediation Program

  1. Identify the maximum thread of velocity and prioritize it’s value. High velocity twitter-ers can rapidly obscure the conversation. Bye BBC!
  2. Contribute and interact to enable conversations. The size and shape of your Tweets significantly impacts the conversational velocity.
  3. Channel friction and boundary shear are givens – so add new folk and erode others out.
  4. Various conversations depths exist and the variability is driven by network depth. Engage people – not the just the network to identify YOUR thread of maximum value.
  5. Have a stream clean up day every now and again.

I always thought that the “Geography is Maps” statement had a verb tense issue, but it doesn’t. You don’t have to say it three times fast to get that, it doesn’t sound correct feeling.
