Talk is a good start, and it need not be cheap, but by itself it generally doesn’t get much done.
Earlier today Nokia’s Charlie Schick posted a thoughtful comment about how Nokia and its current and would-be customers might, through talking openly together, improve the situation in the high-end US phone market. [...]

This morning I was encouraged to see that yet another Nokia staffer, Mark Squires (Nokia’s Director of Corporate Communications) left a comment on my blog. He wrote:

I was so happy and excited to get my N95 (see video). I could be this happy again, if only Nokia would get its US service and support act together.
As I noted earlier, this morning Charlie Schick of Nokia USA left a comment on this blog to reach out to me about my recent heartbreaking [...]

Journalism sudents need the right tools — and skills — for the kinds of careers and opportunities they’re really going to be making for themselves.
Picking up on my post yesterday, Univ. of Florida journalism professor Mindy McAdams challenged me (and her other readers) to translate my quick list of what j-schools [...]

A great photo by Wolfpix seems to have attracted a lot of obvious Flickr comment spam.
(UPDATE: Turns out the comments I’m complaining here are not comment spam — but man, they sure look like it. See Karoli’s comment below for an explanation.)

Feed me, CarePages, feed me! You can do it!
Last week I learned that a friend’s serious illness has flared up, and she’ll need surgery and a few weeks’ recuperation. I’m very bummed about this, but I thought it was neat that she’d set up a page at CarePages.com.
