Also, Woolard Speak is missing from the list above. Yet, it’s Woolard who speaks kindly of his employer on his personal blog.
i’m headed to a little Ozark retreat with some folks from Barkley today to blur the lines. Barkley started sending a smattering of its employees – from all disciplines – to the Ozarks a few years ago. each time collaboration is king and ideas come from everywhere to address specific “assignments” launched on day one and presented on day four.
i didn’t get a chance to go when I was previously at Barkley, so i’m absolutely stoked to head out today. this is just one of a number of efforts Barkley offers to inspire its employees and keep fresh thinking front of mind. can’t wait.

‘American Idol’ Inspires Less Watercooler Chat
Posted in: Uncategorized
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — "American Idol" is still the nation's most-watched program, but somehow this year people have a lot less to say about it. Daily conversations about the popular Fox talent show have sharply decreased since last year, according to a survey of Americans between the ages of 13 and 69 conducted by Keller Fay Group, a New Brunswick, N.J., market research firm that specializes in word-of-mouth analysis.
@stoweboyd Starts Something Small
Posted in: UncategorizedStowe Boyd can’t be bothered with long form come ons. So he invented the micro pitch, which he calls Twitpitch after Twitter, of course.
I can’t believe what a pain in the ass it still is to do something as basic as trying to schedule meetings with startups at a conference.
All companies who would like to have a meeting with me, need to send me a Twittered description of the product. Yes, please Twitter it to me at www.twitter.com/stoweboyd. Yes, one tweet, 140 characters less the eleven used for “@stoweboyd “.
According to BusinessWeek, Boyd’s experiment offers a lesson for small companies that want the attention of potential investors, clients, and press: Get to the point. And it applies in almost any business setting, not just on Twitter. It’s no secret that less is more in the age of information overload, no matter how you’re trying to reach people.
Apparently, when Google was looking for VC money–ahead of the curve, as always–they boiled their offering down to this: “access to the world’s information in one click” (eight words).
In the month since Boyd began Twitpitch, just about 150 messages have been tagged with the “#twitpitch” label, according to a search on Twitter search tool Summize.
