What you are up to — notes from readers

• From Foregroundweb, “I did a 6-month-log research project where I manually reviewed the most popular 100 photography websites in the world to track more than 50 technical stats. I compiled all the insights in this free report, so that other photographers (my target audience) can learn what to do and what NOT to do on their own sites.: https://www.foregroundweb.com/photography-website-statistics/”
• Jim Thornton is doing the kind of thinking-through-writing that often can lead to innovation in this series of articles: email list vs website – which is more important?, email list vs website: part 2, and “outsized returns” indicates past mistakes.
• I’d still like to recruit a few more participants for the Phoenix Project business simulation that Luca Ingianni is facilitating for us. Details here, just hit reply to let me know if you might be interested.
• I wish the author had further developed this piece, but even so it was interesting food for thought about how to be more effective when presenting in an online context: https://tech.mangot.com/blog/2020/10/19/on-virtual-conference-speaking/
• In the rewrite of TPM, I compare consultants who are specialized in a platform to baby possums, Oakies, Kate Winslett in “Titanic”, rock musicians, Darth Vader’s collaborators, the sons of Saturn in this painting, and Kyle McLaughlin in “Dune”. It is a poetic chapter.
