Comment on Peanut Labs: focus, focus, focus by Matt Foley

Thanks for posting this. I was familiar with Peanut Labs, but didn’t know much beyond what they did. I caught a webinar of theirs the other day about conducting markt research in social networks and thought they had some really good thoughts around how to overcome some of the problems in the industry. They are really tackling the big issues that all of us research providers face - response rates, how to eliminate the professional and how to get more “authentic” respondents in our research. I wish them well…

Comment on A surprising revelation via user-generated ethnography by ResearchTalk

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the comment. Well, you know what they say about assumptions. The bigger point is that product designers need to be aware of this natural human behaviour and factor it in.

My point of view is that most people who actually noticed you ’stealing’ your own bike simply assumed that the bike was your own and you’d lost the keys to your lock? That’s what I would assume. Especially if you’re doing it in broad daylight. I’m not sure this really proves that people don’t give a shit.

Comment on You’re Only as Strong as Your Weakest Link. Or are You? by Sam Winstanley

Having never owned any device made by apple in the past, I am now the happy owner of an iPhone 3G… Previously I disliked the apple brand, its pretentious “style over substance” image, Apple existed to make the lives of software developers (like myself) a mysery….

The buying experience was not a bad one, I am notably cooler for my new purchase, even attracting a 30 minute conversation from a fashion designer at my daughters pre-school end-of-term party.

The hype may strengthen the apple brand.. I feel like a member of a small but growing, elite club who were willing to endure the queues and registration process to gain access. Myself and a couple of million others that is.

the 3G is of course a great device, and despite its much publicised faults I’ve not even come close to wishing I never got it.

I would love this book! I’m managing a small team in a growing agency. We’ve got a couple of junior members of the team and I’m keen for them to absorb as much about the industry as possible. Just think they could read this rather than having to listen to me tell them all about the marketing and how MR fits in and what clients really want and think…. And I would be helping to deliver excellent, well rounded researchers into the community..

And I have a pretty smile..

after the persistent brainwash involved in researching for an agency believing mainly in its own learnings, I could benefit from the pleasure of enlightning my pairs’ minds with something diverse.

Here in South Africa text books are insanely expensive: the exchange rate, together with high import taxes, make purchasing text books onerous. My students and clients both look forward to anecdotal instances to bring the theory to life. I am sure that this would help.

This book would excite the pants off me. I kind of forgot to go to university and get a marketing degree, and when I thought of it years later, my years of journalism for NZ Marketing Magazine had given me a pretty strong insight anyway.

Sometimes, though, it’s great to fill in the gaps that experience haven’t filled in. This sounds like a fantastic resource for doing this.

Also, as a social media consultant, it would be great to have case studies to back up - or challenge - my points of view.

And as a journalist, blogger and influential Twitterer, I’d be sure to let the world know about this book. Highly relevant.

As a Chartered Marketer who has invested 12 spam years of time in market research, continuous learning and skill upgrading are very essential process to stimulate new ideas, creativities, strategic tools and so forth to benefit my clients.

I continuously review, hunt and sponge on possible materials that could benefit my clients for their ultimate marketing chronology. Thus, this book may not only end up on my desk but also could eventually landed on my clients’ ones too!

We at Cimigo Vietnam love BOOOOOKS!

I am highly curious about the contents of this book. According to the microsite this is a great piece of literature for students beginning their conversion to becoming marketeers. As a communcation student my field of expertise somewhat overlaps with cognitive/social psychology, market/segmentation research (this blog is great but I would greatly appreciate it if posts are on a more regular basis) and yes, marketing.
By reading this book I hope to gain more insight how to put marketing to practice in our Negroponte world. Oh, before I forget, I will of course rate it on Amazon so other people can also pick this one up!

My colleagues would be delighted if I won this book, as it would help me be able to talk about segmentation, branding and the marketing mix just as confidently as they already can! Four Ps? Yes please!

I have been involved lately in Marketing communication activities so this book is going to help me first understand how I can use Marketing reseach, which is my main field in Marketing, and I will be able to set my action plans more on theories rather than trial and error.

Thank you for this wonderful idea

I work in a heavily technical company (much programming, little background to the tasks) and would like to encourage my group of techies to learn more about other aspects of marketing & marketing research. Having such a book in the office would be a great resource.
