Thanks so much. Maryann PS Love MAN, I pass on links to your posts all the time. 2009-03-04T15:06:57.491+01:00 2009-03-04T15:06:57.491+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2431484&comment_id=60925923 Maryann Devine I've lived here for more than 20 years, and I've yet to find a decent bagel. Even the usually-wonderful Metropolitan Bakery falls short. More to the point: WHY is it seemingly impossible to MAKE a good bagel here? Lots of people claim that the water is the problem. So, what is it? A technical problem? Ennui? Please enlighten us, Phoodie. 2009-02-23T19:50:30.321+01:00 2009-02-23T19:50:30.321+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2431400&comment_id=60912109 Maryann Devine Havi, I love your advice: TRY STUFF! That's the first half of what I tell people when they ask for that foolproof secret marketing formula that only marketers know about: Try something. See if it works. If it does, do it some more. Repeat. That's it. 2009-02-23T18:29:40.383+01:00 2009-02-23T18:29:40.383+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2377453&comment_id=55570007 Maryann Devine Kate, I agree -- what is often lost is the idea that social media tools are just that: tools. It's not about making the leap to facebook or twitter -- social media sites are going to peak and fall off. It's about paying attention to what your people are using, and connecting with them in a genuine way, no matter what tool you're using. 2009-02-04T23:41:50.864+01:00 2009-02-04T23:41:50.864+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2372055&comment_id=54763962 Maryann Devine So sorry that I'm unable to write in German, but wanted to say thank you for quoting my blog. 1stfans is indeed a groundbreaking program, and it will be interesting to see what happens. 2009-01-31T18:22:13.667+01:00 2009-01-31T18:22:13.667+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2371391&comment_id=54619138 maryann ... or Iceland. 2009-01-31T00:42:28.196+01:00 2009-01-31T00:42:28.196+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2356905&comment_id=53823169 Maryann I secretly like the Police. So embarrassing now that we know what Sting is all about. 2009-01-26T23:05:13.502+01:00 2009-01-26T23:05:13.502+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2356905&comment_id=53823150 (anonymous) I secretly like the Police. So embarrassing now that we know what Sting is all about. 2009-01-26T23:04:54.184+01:00 2009-01-26T23:04:54.184+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2355616&comment_id=53769572 Maryann Devine Havi, I think you're totally right (although, you know, I must be one of the five people at the Kitchen Table that feels like they fit in -- I don't feel like everyone's just like me, but I DO feel like I'm in the right place!). The Outsider Syndrome. I remember complaining to someone about how, as an arts marketer I felt like the artists were suspicious of me, and the business people didn't take me seriously. This felt especially true when I worked for in fundraising for a museum that is part of a university. I felt too corporate for the curators, and too artsy for alumni relations -- I always felt like the weirdo. But my friend, like Tiara, turned it around and said, well, you can straddle both worlds -- think of it as a strength. I must confess that's still a stretch for me, even though I see the truth in it. But it's great to see you address it here -- it helps remind me that the Outsider status is all in my head. 2009-01-26T15:53:06.632+01:00 2009-01-26T15:53:06.632+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2350635&comment_id=53611813 Maryann Devine So it was the wall itself you were meant to discover? That's pretty amazing. I started visualizing my stuck after listening to the audio you packaged (I think) with the Procrastination Dissolve-o-matic. And I want to thank you for introducing me to this technique because it's been very powerful. I'm always struck by how grateful I feel to these stuck patterns after I visualize and try to speak to them -- to think that these patterns, however misguided, have been in service to me for a long, long time, just to keep me from pain. Kind of like what you say about your mother, Tiara - it may be stifling but she's doing it out of love. Wow, thank you so much. 2009-01-25T17:31:50.813+01:00 2009-01-25T17:31:50.813+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2330413&comment_id=52773083 maryann No wonder you need a break! 2009-01-22T23:10:55.040+01:00 2009-01-22T23:10:55.040+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2331016&comment_id=52566398 Maryann Devine Ultimately, people give because of the way it makes them feel, so if donors feel even *better* seeing their names on a plaque, where's the harm? Of course, we should always consider the norms of the group -- if members of your church frown on public recognition, it's probably not the right thing to do. 2009-01-22T16:00:29.728+01:00 2009-01-22T16:00:29.728+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2330413&comment_id=52511300 maryann I really like the patterns/textures in the image that went along with this post - a glimpse of things to come? 2009-01-22T14:38:13.872+01:00 2009-01-22T14:38:13.872+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2181442&comment_id=45736563 maryann Seriously. I think this guy might be a genius. 2008-12-30T22:23:40.353+01:00 2008-12-30T22:23:40.353+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2181442&comment_id=45587651 maryann Maybe it's intentional. Like, he energizes you while he's entertaining you. He EnerTains you. You wouldn't feel so sad if you were being EnerTained! Give him a call! 2008-12-29T19:25:41.456+01:00 2008-12-29T19:25:41.456+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2072838&comment_id=41634929 Maryann Devine I love the idea that it's about face-to-face as well as online interaction, and priced well for younger people. I'd venture to say it's positioned to be for those who typically feel membership is not for them --? I'll be very interested to know about the artists involved in the twitter stream. 2008-12-11T18:32:55.213+01:00 2008-12-11T18:32:55.213+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=2024792&comment_id=39655270 maryann Just saying. I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a Beatles song I love. 2008-12-04T20:57:46.859+01:00 2008-12-04T20:57:46.859+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=1420569&comment_id=27091810 Maryann Newspaper sites SHOULD provide real-time data, as should local TV news and radio sites. They're in the news business, after all. It's the same in the Philadelphia area - when I want to know about something that's breaking, I never find it on a local old-media news site. I'm more likely to hear breaking news on KYW 1060's station (our local all-news radio) than see it on their site. 2008-06-05T14:42:49.952+02:00 2008-06-05T14:42:49.952+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=1387426&comment_id=26549132 Maryann Devine Carie, I like how your organization isn't looking for one social media application to cover all your needs, and great to know that the numbers clinched it! 2008-05-12T17:25:07.447+02:00 2008-05-12T17:25:07.447+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=1361080&comment_id=26436402 Maryann testing again 2008-05-08T03:40:42.372+02:00 2008-05-08T03:40:42.372+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=mdevine&conv=1361080&comment_id=26436400 Maryann testing 2008-05-08T03:39:00.334+02:00 2008-05-08T03:39:00.334+02:00
