When I was in school, any time I tried to write a paper, I always seemed to be heavily influenced by the style of whomever I happened to be reading at the time. I think that still happens to me with movies and television shows--expressions and phrases from them creep into my speech. By the way, I think your blog is awesome. Mind if I link to it on mine?

It is exceptionally well done and it's a shame that you haven't integrated it into your Broadlook site. IMO, it should be linked right off the home page and it would humanize a very average website and give your potential customers a much stronger reason to interact with you and Broadlook. With your written communication abilities, you would also be a natural in working in the various social neworking mediums (Twitter, Facebook) and obtain a nice ROI from your participation. Sometimes, even great products need differentiators and I think that pushing your blog even harder just might be a ticket to greater revenue for your company.

Float Tanks, finding the quiet where the noise is gone and the real thoughts bubble forth. Using this technique with my guitar playing - no more mimicing the licks of the "greats", spent 2 years deprogramming that. Now when I play its original and it sounds like "me". This was good validation. Agree with Theory of Sensory Deprivation. Float Tanks, finding the quiet where the noise is gone and the real thoughts bubble forth.

I have found astonishing results having never been in the IT recruiting world before (only marketing and PR) and coming into the family biz. Seems like everything out of my mouth surprises people. I have attributed it to a super muted version of what you are describing, in that untainted eyes find it easier to see. Neat-o I think your theory is fascinating.

I understand you are optimistic and willing to mash up with other services. Your demo to us via Pete Bugnatto was the best new product offering I've seen this past 2007. I have a question for you. Why mash your product up with Google desktop search instead of Windows DTS? I'll get the exact quote for you in a day or two but I was told to remove GDS from my computer. It makes pitching your diver and and market mapper an issue. Donato,
