I would actually say that Twitter does not actually limit thought because you can simply include a link to a longer piece, like a blog post.

Twitter allows information to be shared and processed quickly but it does not replace deeper discussion, it just makes it easier to find.

"We just reconfigured our cashews. They were in a round canister, and we put them in a square canister. It sounds crazy, but we saved something like 560 truckloads a year of that one product. That's significant savings."

That is simply amazing and more companies need to look at simple things like that.

I love Sinegal's style and the fact that he cares so much about his employees, turning up his nose to unreasonable demands from Wall Street.

Even Brilliant People Need The Right Opportunities

Entrepreneurs love to point to the success of "self-made" people like Bill Gates as proof that hard work, solid ideas and solid execution are the most important factors for success.

But is that really true?

I came across a great post by Umair Haque over at Harvard Business Publishing titled How to Build a Next-Gen Business Now.

He lays out five steps to build such a business but it was the fifth step that caught my attention because it spoke to our Realvibez Media business.

As someone who was a member of the My.BarackObama.com social network, I can attest to its power.

I don't think ad prices will be higher just because there are fewer ads, there will be better targeting.

Hulu does have less ads than standard television showing the same show and that does make it far easier to actually recall the ad, which makes the spot more valuable.

But a spot served to the wrong target market is still worthless, no matter how much you paid for it.

Business.com Case Study: Ignore The Laughter Of Other People

Every entrepreneur has had some person laugh at their idea, but few have had thousands or hundreds of thousands laugh at their idea.

I personally know someone who had the chance to invest in MTV at the inception but laughed at the entrepreneur and asked him why would anyone watch music on television.

Never let the naysayers dent your resolve, just make sure you can answer their question satisfactorily for yourself, your potential staff and your potential investors, even if you are the only one in all the above.

Inspiring Others Is Important

I am currently in Jamaica and was invited on Tuesday to be a guest lecturer at the H.E.A.R.T. VTDI in Kingston by Dennis Howard, the UWI lecturer who brought me down in February to speak at the Global Reggae Conference.

It was a last-minute request but I was prepared and was able to speak to a class of students focusing on artist management in the music industry. The topic that evening was music videos and the Internet.

One of the students joined Realvibez.tv yesterday and wrote a blog post that gives a far better account than I could ever give. He wrote:

Yes, if you live in countries that are reducing the amount of electricity they generate from coal and other fossil fuels and even more so if you are smart enough to add solar to your house and charge the car using that.

Is there any study on the amount of CO2 emitted by a gasolene car over the same distance vs. the amount of CO2 emitted by the coal plant the electricity the electric car uses?
