OK - time to get ready to go to lunch, I think.

@toddtyrtle Yeah, that's the problem. You have to separate the man from the work. Sometimes that's hard.
-
@toddtyrtle Because that man is God? (well, no he isn't, but you know, the Apple Sky will fall without him).
-
@kmatthews Sanjay Dutt is God, I thought it was the Big B. Oh wait, confusing replies ;-)
-
@toddtyrtle Big B is god of Bollywood. Big J is god of Apple. :-)
-
@kmatthews Someone elsewhere pointed out "he's the high priest of the Cult of Mac" and of course there are many disciples online who care.
-
@kmatthews BTW - I'm crabby - two nights ago I typed in a huge comment on "..don't tell me" and in my exhaustion totally lost it.
-
@kmatthews I'll try to do an entry on the subject. That ties in well to the presentation I'd love to put together and give at PCTO10 or PAB
-
@toddtyrtle I'll confess, I'm curious about what happens if Apple really does depend on having Jobs at the helm. That could be interesting.
-
@toddtyrtle That blog post ended up provoking a really cool discussion. Made me happy :-)
-
@kmatthews Made me happy too - it is a subject near and dear to my heart
-
@kmatthews And likely the only thing that could actually move me to get into an argument with someone for that matter.
-
@kmatthews Which makes me think I might want to do a presentation on monetization in podcasting - use music comparisons like Sylvain
-
@toddtyrtle Funny you should say "monetizing". Just listening to this week's CPB.
-
@kmatthews Examples of "failed" bands with niche content versus successful monetizing ones like NKOTB, Spice Girls, Britney Spears, etc.
-
@kmatthews Couch it as a "how to successfully monetize your podcast" presentation.
-
@toddtyrtle Oh, that could be so hilarious.....
-
@kmatthews Haven't listened yet - downloading now. Looks like I'll be on the next ep. Recorded with Mark last night.
-
@toddtyrtle Cool -- hints as to what you talked about?
-
@kmatthews I'm torn between that and going from the punk/DIY angle (which allows me to talk about how little I care about "rules")
-
@kmatthews The only hard part would be resisting the temptation to give examples of podcast equivalents of mfg'd pop (Dawn & Drew, anyone?)
-
@kmatthews It's why I love that SD frequently tells listeners to f-off. He doesn't care about rules - wants devoted listeners not numbers.
-
@toddtyrtle :-)
-
@kmatthews Culling readers/listeners, like culling followers on twitter is a *good* thing IMO. Popularity is the kiss of death.
-
@toddtyrtle I'm preparing Ep. 000 of Totally Filmi, essentially a "what you can expect here" ep. I'm wondering how far to go...
-
@toddtyrtle ....but I'm thinking a diplomatically worded, "If you don't like what I do, go away" message needs to come through.
-
@toddtyrtle I'm not willing to go through what I went through with Purl Diving, with people telling me how I should run my podcast.
-
@kmatthews Great idea to set the ground rules right away. You need a good weekly tagline (SD copyrighted the listener F-off so that's out)
-
@kmatthews Something that says "this is my <weekly?> gift to you. If you like it, send a thank you note. If you don't like it...
-
@kmatthews "...send polite silence"
-
@toddtyrtle Yeah. Hoping I'll come up with something. Best I've got right now is "phir melenge" (hindi for "see you next time"). :-)
-
@toddtyrtle :-)
-
@kmatthews How about something like "complaints and criticism when provided with a receipt will entitle the listener to a full refund"
-
RT @kmatthews: I swear I blink and my feed reader fills up again! Lots of smarty pants out there with great things to say, I guess.
