So I’ve relegated myself to better understanding the types of things people read and I’ve concluded people like [tag]Top 5[/tag] somethings, that’s why I did top 3, since no one is searching on that this is sure to stay a cool place then. I hate it when things get overbuilt and congested with clutter.
So I setup this Top 5 alert and there are A LOT of Top 5 things out there, as many as there are things of which could be listed. There is so many Top 5’s that I must kill my google alert on this.
I thought might give me ideas, but its quickly become slightly recursive. This is my inbox:
I think I’m going to change it to top 12, that might make for a more interesting alert inbox… Let you know.
So I’m on a travel rant – [tag]Las Vegas[/tag] has got to be the least productive city to ever be in. I fully understand that’s engineered that way – but when you’re a vendor AND have a real day job – Vegas sucks! I mean I like all the bright lights and crazy noises and just pacing around the casino, but that’s about it. Pace a while – back to the room.
Perhaps I should pick up gambling you say – not that excited about it. When I bet cash – it is literally – $1. I often get challenged that I’m obviously the chicken in this breakfast, rather than the Pig with that type of bet.
$1 is as real a bet as any and it’s the principle – right? The other reason I can’t gamble all night is that I will clearly have at least 1 or 2 conference calls at 5am local time, so “playing through” won’t work regardless of the O2 levels.
The coolest thing: The 5 am meeting will only be booked after you made plans to do to rock star karaoke @ the [tag]house of blues[/tag] on the fly with a prospect who loves [tag]Karaoke[/tag].
So I have had the opportunity to see a good deal of Airport clubs around the global. So here are my 3 worst, as of today.
[tag]Manchester[/tag] ([tag]MAN[/tag]) [tag]United Kingdom[/tag] – The delta [tag]crown room[/tag] participating club is the weird yellow, or a least I remember it being yellow room where people are just JAMMED in, with restrooms in a shared corridor. The coffee maker was a good deal of work as well.
[tag]Philadelphia International[/tag] ([tag]PHL[/tag]) United States – This before the security crown room has only 1 bathroom – it also has an early 90’s feel. You are just a new terminal away from being off the list.
[tag]Frederic Chopin[/tag] ([tag]WAW[/tag]) [tag]Poland[/tag] – While a really good selection of vodka in the [tag]duty free[/tag], the club room for [tag]British Air[/tag] – SUCKED. It had a 70’s fake wall partition from like the brady bunch when I visited in 2001. It may be updated now, so I take it back if so. Business class sucked too on the flight to [tag]LHR[/tag].
I’m sure [tag]DTW[/tag]’s club would be on the list if it weren’t for the cool new [tag]McNamara terminal[/tag] – those NW lounges rock! Free wireless and a [tag]coney dog[/tag]!
What lounges do you think are deserving of a worst rating?
So here are Steve Rubel’s version of the 4 P’s of blogging:
Passionate – Write about issues that are near and dear to your heart Purposeful – Make sure you keep the end in mind; why are you blogging? Present – Keep an eye on what’s topical today Positional – Take a stand on an issue and follow it
I read it and thought – isn’t that just the big P product? So I figured I would look around a little on his [tag]blog[/tag] and he seems a little interesting:
Biography
[tag]Steve Rubel[/tag] is a senior marketing strategist with over 15 years experience. He currently serves as senior vice president in Edelman’s me2revolution practice. Edelman is the largest independent global PR firm.
Regardless of Steve’s curriculum vitae, the [tag]4 P’s[/tag] above are only attributes of the Product and how to find niche. At some levels, this is the YOU segment a theoretical concept which I have no experience in, but am currently executing in my [tag]blogging[/tag] efforts.
So know your [tag]affinity[/tag] attributes and blog away.
