... Not sure what kinds of birds you are, but your songs are certainly welcome.
Update on my broken Facebook: http://ping.fm/lF0EK

My Facebook is fixed, but they still need Customer Service.

After about 7 hours of not being able to do ANYTHING and having NO explanation of the situation, or ANY communications from Facebook (even though I emailed them), my account is simply "back".

All the info and photos, etc which I watched incrementally deleting throughout the early morning, and disappear entirely by 9 am, are all there and fine.

Is it coincidental that this happened after I sent the above story to numerous communications and technology professionals and publications across the country? Or maybe there are actual people at Facebook offices who watch out for enraged users and quietly fix things under the radar. I suggest giving them a damned phone and making them answer it - at least for paid advertisers.

In any case, losing access to one's Paid account at any online service, especially one which stores credit card information and autocharges it daily, with absolutely no explanation or advance notice, and no means of communication when inquiries arise is entirely unacceptable.

While I appreciate and use many aspects of Facebook's services, it's critical that they realize they are not excused from servicing - at the very least - their paying customers.

Social media is about people, after all ... right?
... I can access everything in my Facebook as if nothing happened. Thankful, but FB Ads needs to offer customer service. #automationsucks http://ping.fm/FEpMu
Well ... My facebook account is either truly undergoing some maintenance, or I'm screwed and it's gone. #facebooksucks

Happy Monday to the meandering frontiers-people of the interwebs. Hope your day works out well. Do everything you can to make it so.

Budweiser. Lame. Shutter Island - looks great. And what's with the clothes-less people?
Cars.com just spent a lot of money.
Well played Coke. GoDaddy -at least you're consistently lame.
Doritos kid a close second.
So far I'd say Snickers is the best ad.

Why ActionMethod.com kicks ass.

Hmm. Let's start with the fact that I just paid for an entire year and it was less than what Basecamp costs for a MONTH.

After that, I'm compelled to mention that ActionMethod.com is FREE TO NON-PROFITS. Fantastic. Support the helping hand revolution.

(a brief aside to note that I still have yet to describe any of the actual functions of the tool - and it already kicks ass.)

ActionMethod.com was crafted by the Behance Team (http://www.behance.com/) who I am proud to say introduced me to the phrase/mantra "It's not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen." These folks know what they're talking about.

On with the features. ActionMethod.com takes the super simple stance that "any project in life" has 5 parts: Action Steps, References, Events, Discussions and Backburners. And they're right. And keeping your thinking that simple makes it that much more simple to manage projects.

My favorite aspect of the entire Action Method system is that it's omni-media. I like the sound of that. I think I just made it up. In any case, they have an online version, a mobile version, an Adobe Air desktop version, and my absolute favorite - PAPER VERSIONS. You can purchase any number of bound and padded paper products which are geared towards maintaining this simple view on the run. http://ping.fm/3TPMZ

So, if you don't believe me yet, check it out for yourself. They offer a free trial here:

Or if you're already convinced, signup here:

And be sure to tell them Craig sent you by putting this code in the coupon field:

TOMMOLAAF1 - Use this code for a monthly account ($12/month)
TOMMOLAAF2 - Use this code for a yearly account ($99/yr)

Enjoy the simple life by managing your projects, instead of letting your projects manage you.
