Well, I'm not overly enamoured with the 'new' iTunes.
Pain in the arse so far.
Suspect I'll get used to it in time but it's taking me ages just to work out how to do very simple things.
I gave up on iTunes years ago
Bloated, needy bastard. Has it lost weight in its new incarnation?
dont understand why they seem to be phasing out cover flow, youd think it would be one of their trademark things, not even on ipads, seems to only exist on iphone/pods now.
I really like it.
You can has it the old way too if you prefer. Just hit 'view' then 'show side bar' and you are set.
The grid view with the background key color matching the album art is A+SCROTUM, Antelope, chickenbones, nickthestag, Rev_Kramer, Luis_Carruthers, and incandenza_ this'd this
The background thing is incredible.
The tracks are even shown in the second 'key' colour of the artwork! The new Action Bronson tape looks fucking great.
what background thing?
i don't understand.....
Just tried to install it out of curiousity
And it's failing every time.
Well it wouldn't work with my iPod,
which has forced me to sync it and that will mean that all the playlists and subtle changes I've made certain track listings on my iPod is no utterly wrecked.
I've gone from being slightly frustrated with this crap to being absolutely fucked off with it now.
for once, I was glad I actually watched their little tutorial video
I usually skip those but the interface changes were extreme enough that I would have been pretty lost without it.
It does seem to be doing strange things to my iPod Shuffle, but so far I think I'm in favor of the overall upgrade as it puts a lot of features next to each other where I wished they were before. We'll see. I'm sure it's not for everybody.
only just updated it but I think it looks great
but then I've been using grid view for months now
Slightly better looking than before
Which is not saying much because it was the ugliest interface in the world before.
Seems slow and awkward, especially on a PC.
dling now
200MB. Why does every little update for iTunes (admittedly this is a not an incremental release but still) have to be enormous?
I kinda just use Spotify for EVERYTHING now.
Unless this new iTunes is incredibly quick and smooth can't think why i'd bother with it.
I thingmied it last night.
It's pretty neat. Like the expanding view in albums and the new wee arrow on songs that you can click. Shortcuts to artists and the Add to playlist bit is pretty special too. Quite impressed.
I like that
you can queue up 'next song' in shuffle, and make a list of next songs - since all I seem to do at the moment is listen on shuffle this is a pretty cool update.thegoodmrbrodie this'd this
i think it looks great
much cleaner, and a better interface. Dragging stuff around onto devices and playlists is MUCH easier and doesn't require carefully scrolling off-screen all the time.
Oh wow, I've only just worked out there's a playlist facility now
THIS IS THE BESTjustanothersheeldz this'd this
AND it now sorts albums by artist/year on grid view
best best best
you'd have to pay me to use it, bro.
just stick the indie points onto my account whenever it's convenient for ya, ta.
I normally avoid updating iTunes unless I have to for a new device/service. I'd probably still be using iTunes 4, if it weren't the fact that an iPod update way back when forced me to upgrade to iTunes 6 — and, jesus, wasn't that a fucking mess!
Wish you could take a proper look at new versions without having to install them and risk not being able to uninstall them without fucking up your libraries, preferences, etc.
I like it a lot
only grip is they've removed the 'recently added' function. Love how they seem to have really rebuilt and rethought it.
Yes, but isn't "recently added" simply a smart playlist??
If so you can just create your own. Should work the same.guntrip this'd this
just create a smart playlist. you can even change how recent it has to be!
- robluvsnic this'd this
Recently added is the only way I can find things I've downloaded.
as said, it's a smart playlist
also, sort by "recently added"
still, I /genuinely/ like this new version. it's more and more so how i wanted the old version to be.
I'll probably download it to check it out later.
I only use it to put things on our iPad. I can't imagine there's that much changed really.
Well if you didn't like the old version I can't imagine you'll like this one
but I was fine with the old version
Recently added is still there
Just click view sidebar.
I don't understand
How apple can make so many fucking brilliant things... and iTunes.Cementimental and Mnemosene this'd this
Tried Foobar for the first time a few months ago
and haven't looked back. So simple and quick. Only problem is it doesn't (to my knowledge) have a podcast manager, but I just use one on my phone now instead.
Same here
Just bloody works. No faff, ultimately customisable. You can probably get a podcast manager for it somewhere.Oh_Shangri-La this'd this
Yeah I just found one as an extension/component
but it's not quite as user-friendly as iTunes, MusicBee etc. The program itself is great though, it even loads up quick on my ageing laptop.bruised_blood this'd this
really love the redesign
and i love the way you can 'queue' tracks, it seems bizarre it's taken them so long to integrate that idea. the little album art/playlist thing when an album is playing is really nice.
they've removed grid view for artist view? why? they kept it for the album view and it looks great. is that sidebar supposed to be the replacement? that doesn't work when you've got months of music.
I hate it
As iTunes is the only Apple product that many Windows users will ever encounter, I'm amazed they don't do a better job of it.
After lengthy buggering about, I've managed to find all the stuff I thought they'd taken out - you have to play around with your preferences to restore the old familiar look/features. Which begs the question, why?
I had to use Winamp for the past year as
itunes would make my laptop use 99% of it's CPU for some bizarre reason, Winamp uses 2%. I hope this has fixed that. I want itunes back.
itunes does totally drain the cpu
it slows my laptop right down and makes trying to run anything more complex than Word a stuttering chore. I do resent it for that. Tend to use winamp if I want to do anything else while listening to music.
itunes is the worst program of all time
hands down
is there any way to stop the useless fucking fuck itunes from "accessing itunes store" as soon as you open itunes
and taking like FIVE FUCKING MINUTES, and then when you tell it to stop it takes ANOTHER FIVE FUCKING MINUTES to stop? i just want to play some fucking songs.
Dunno about the new version
But the old version would always open on the library for me, so long as I didn't quit while in the store.
Also the search bar is incredibly slow
Can you turn off the live drop-down search thing?
yeah, definitely deciding the cool redesign isn't worth all the little irritations
why are the people who do itunes so bad at making it functional?
i ask this in every itunes thread and never get a reply, but does anyone know of any good mac alternatives? never found one.
Oh okay and now apparently I can't sync my iPod
Nothing happens when I connect it.
This is pretty annoying.
you have to fiddle about with it
there's a button you press that's like `sync ipod` or something
It's absolutely appalling.
Slowest piece of muthafucking shit i have ever encountered. Love the fact that it no longer copies new purchases too. In fact, if you want to have your new purchases on itunes, you have to use the sidebar (old version?!!) and then proceed to do it manually. Not only that, but it randomly lost the connection with my iPad and iPhone. Fucking rubbish.
Version 11.0 is horrible!
They fixed something that wasn't broken and in the process they ruined it..coverflow is missing, shuffle now only works if you make a playlist,scrolling through the albums a nightmare,ergonomics wich were great are now of 1980's eastern block quality...no...this is not a very nice upgrade..it's about as usefull as myspace's overhaul,wich killed myspace in the progress!
it seems to have broken my iphones usb tethering, pretty frustrating as I rely on that as my home wifi is so unreliable, can use the phones wifi tethering but that is really slow
does anyone know what the clouds by the music, tv and movies libraries mean? hope its not backing up everything on cloud
no, because they charge for that
there's an option somewhere that lets you choose whether to display stuff you have cloud stored or not, i assume it's related to that

My Review
Expert Reviews ( 1 )
The 2012 Mazda 3 takes a leadership role in automotive engineering with what Mazda is calling SkyActiv technology, "an engineering philosophy that starts with a blank slate and open mind."
The big change for 2012 is the introduction of a new 2.0-liter engine that gets Mazda's SkyActiv treatment, delivering a terrific 28 miles per gallon in the city, 40 mpg on the highway. In fact, during one good run with that engine, we got 43.7 mpg. The SkyActiv engine runs on Regular gasoline.
The 2012 Mazda3 lineup features two new SkyActiv transmissions to go with the SkyActiv engine: a 6-speed automatic and 6-speed manual. We found both worked beautifully.
One big styling change on all 2012 Mazda3 models is the nose. That big grin that's been fixed on the face of the Mazda3 for the past two years has been wiped off, replaced by a smile that's more reserved.
Because the Mazda3 was redesigned for 2010, including a lighter stiffer chassis and new interior, there aren't a lot of other changes for 2012.
For 2012, the old 2.0-liter engine remains in the base model. The 2.5-liter engine in the up-level s models is unchanged as is the 2.3-liter turbocharged Mazdaspeed3.
Mazda makes a claim for the new 3. "Our 40 is better than their 40," they say, meaning zoom-zoom performance hasn't been compromised to hit 40 mpg. Not by hard tires, space-saving spares, or aerodynamic hubcaps. And "their 40" refers to Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus, Chevrolet Cruze, and Honda Civic, competitors that also reach 40 mpg, in certain models. Mazda says it offers the most optional extra equipment of any 40-mpg car, for example a Technology Package with blind spot monitoring system, adaptive headlamps and LED taillamps.
The 2012 Mazda3 looks better without that stupid grin. It's smoother, prettier and more aerodynamic, as the front fenders are also tweaked, puffed out forward of the wheels. The sedan has a 0.27 coefficient of drag, and the five-door is 0.29 Cd, strong numbers for a hatchback.
There's one change from the interior of the 2011 Mazda3, satin rings around the three climate knobs, for a reason Mazda actually tested with human beings. Recognition speed and accuracy, and that means less distraction. Every single control on the Mazda3 instrument panel is intuitive and easy to reach and use. The center stack is clean, the gauges clear, and digital information accessed by a thumb scroll on the steering wheel. Mazda3 comes standard with steering-wheel controls.
The Mazda3 sedan's trunk has 11.8 cubic feet of space, and the hatchback has 17 cubic feet behind the rear seat. Both come standard with 60/40 split folding rear seats, and they fold nearly flat, so the cargo space can be expanded enormously. In a pinch, the sedan can carry most of what the hatchback can.
In a day of hard driving on the Angeles Crest Highway and on some mountain roads in Southern California, we couldn't find a flaw in the 2.0-liter SkyActiv powertrain. We tested it hard, and it worked.
The 2012 Mazda3's 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine makes 155 horsepower and 148 foot-pounds of torque; good hp, excellent torque increase for the 2012 models. Enough for plenty of acceleration, with the new 6-speed automatic transmission working beautifully with the available torque. At 70 mph the engine spins at a leisurely 2200 rpm, smooth and silent. With the 6-speed manual, it runs 70 mph at 500 rpm more, still can't really hear it.
Government fuel economy estimates for the new 2.0-liter SkyActiv engine were not available when this was written. Mazda officials place it at 28/40 miles per gallon. We got 29.5 mpg driving it hard over the curvy 4910-foot-high Angeles Crest Highway east of Los Angeles, and 43.7 mpg returning to the city mostly on the freeway, running 65-70, accelerating and decelerating with the fast flow of traffic.
The 2012 6-speed automatic will downshift aggressively, and upshift at low rpm; few do that. It will do what you ask it to, and no more, quicker and smoother than before. The SkyActiv goal was to make it upshift as fast as a twin-clutch automatic manual, and 15 milliseconds is the result.
The 2012 6-speed manual transmission also went SkyActiv. This goal was to make it feel like the Miata MX-5 gearbox. Bushings were changed to bearings, shafts re-splined, and oil reservoirs shrunk and moved, all to shorten the throw of the shift lever, from 50mm to 45mm, without making it feel heavier. That's about one-fourth of an inch. Shortest throw of any passenger car, claims Mazda.
The suspension on all 2012 Mazda3 models has been tweaked to deliver a more European feel. We ran a lot of harsh patchy pavement on curvy roads, and it wasn't quite a sport sedan, but the feedback was direct, driven hard with the 6-speed automatic transmission in Manual mode. The harsh patches never made the ride uncomfortable.
As for the 2.5-liter engine, with 167 horsepower and 168 pounds of torque, it gets the job done with room to spare. The best happens when the tachometer swings through the 4500-4800 rpm range and keeps pulling to near redline. It climbs hills confidently and cruises on the highway effortlessly. Of course you pay for the power, as it only gets 22/29 mpg with the automatic.
For 2012 there are also a number of changes to the packages and standard equipment of models, mostly 2.5-liter S models. Price increases reflect this, although Mazda says that when weighed in the context of equipment against 2011, prices don't change much.Model Lineup
The 2012 Mazda3 lineup includes six models using three engines, four transmissions, and two body styles. The five-door hatchback is usually $500 more than the four-door sedan.
The well-equipped base Mazda3 i SV 4-door ($15,200) uses the older 2.0-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission; it has power windows and steering-wheel controls, but lacks air conditioning and power locks. The Mazda3 i Sport sedan adds air conditioning, power locks, remote keyless ignition and comes with the 5-speed manual ($16,845) or the 5-speed automatic ($17,695).
Mazda3 i Touring features the new SkyActiv 2.0-liter engine and 6-speed automatic ($19,300) or 6-speed manual ($18,450); Touring also upgrades with Bluetooth, alloy wheels, cruise control, leather trim, and upgraded sound system. The i Grand Touring ($22,300), also with that powertrain, throws in moonroof, Bose sound system, 8-way power driver's seat, and more.
Mazda3 s Touring gets the 2.5-liter engine and 6-speed manual ($21,300) or 5-speed automatic ($22,100). The fully loaded Mazda3 s Grand Touring includes leather and navigation and 6-speed manual ($22,900) or 5-speed automatic ($23,700).
The Mazdaspeed3 ($24,000) is the pocket rocket; this hot hatch comes with a 263-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-4, 6-speed manual transmission, limited-slip differential, and sport seats. For 2012, the Bose 10-speaker surround sound system has been added as standard equipment.
Options include rain-sensing wipers and bi-xenon headlamps, offered in only one other car in the compact segment; also dual zone air conditioning and 8-way power driver's seat, offered only by a few others.
Safety equipment on all Mazda3 models includes dual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain side airbags, active front head restraints, tire-pressure monitor, and anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. Traction control and electronic stability control are standard on the i Touring and all s models. Optional safety equipment, in the Technology Package, includes a blind spot monitoring system, adaptive headlamps and LED taillamps.Walkaround
The 2012 Mazda3 has been changed in the nose and a little bit in the rear bumper, and there are great new wheels. Mazda has wiped the smile off the face of the Mazda3, or at least subdued it. It's like when Meg Ryan took the silicone out of her lips, she looked a lot better. If you nitpick you can say the Mazda3 still has a fat lip (front bumper, trying to hide in black), but gone is the big fixed grin that some dared call stupid.
The front fascia below the bumper looks great; it's not even ruined by knowing that the sporty black air intakes don't take in air. If SkyActiv were ruthless in its rule, they would be erased so the nose is more aero, but, hey, that's a bit too Prius. The intakes look better from a distance where you can't see that they're fake, also better when they're not being used to house optional foglamps.
The light facelift for 2012 is a big improvement: smoother, prettier and more aerodynamic, as the front fenders are also tweaked a bit, puffed out forward of the wheels. The sedan's coefficient of drag is now 0.27 Cd, with the 5-door at 0.29 Cd, great numbers for a hatchback that isn't also a fastback (like the Audi A7). The rear bumper on 2012 Mazda3 i models is cleaner and body-colored now. New 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels for 2012 are sporty and handsome. Thanks in part to those wheels, the cliche that it looks like it's moving when it's standing still is true.Interior
Mazda is the manufacturer we long for, when we complain about user-unfriendliness in the cabins of other cars, not to mention the distraction quotient. Mazda gets it; our shotgun passenger for the day of the launch was an engineer who proved it to us with some backstory about Mazda's thinking. There are few changes from the interior of the 2011 Mazda3, but the changes for 2012 have a reason.
The mission: eliminate distraction, so that the driver can concentrate on driving. Mazda means it, too many others mouth it without studying it. With Mazda being neck-deep in racing, they know how to take up less of the driver's attention with necessary gauges and controls. Few if any other manufacturers act with such careful logic. Not Ford, with the new Focus and its optional and problematic MyFordTouch. Not Toyota, with the electronically ambitious Camry. Not Chevy with the new Sonic either; and we could go on.
Every control on the Mazda3 instrument panel is intuitive and easy to reach and use. Every one. The center stack is clean, the gauges clear, and digital information is accessed by a thumb scroll on the steering wheel; in fact, Mazda3 is the only car in its class with standard steering-wheel controls. The digital information is easy to read in the sun, at least in the SkyActiv models, with blue meter illumination. Others have gray, and the Mazdaspeed3 is red.
We drove a Mazda3 with terrific leather seats, and one with cloth seats, same padding and bolstering but firmer, maybe because cloth skin gets stretched more, and leather has inherent cushioning.
The sedan's trunk has 11.8 cubic feet of space, and the hatchback has 17 cubic feet behind the rear seat. The rear seats are split 60/40, and they fold nearly flat, so the cargo space can be expanded enormously.
The wonderful new 6-speed automatic transmission is shifted in its manual mode by the gated lever; you probably won't miss steering-wheel paddles, because it's not that kind of car. But maybe it is. The shift action is another place where Mazda logic rules: the lever goes back to upshift, forward to downshift, as in many race cars, because those directions flow with the g-forces on the body during acceleration and deceleration. It's a feel thing, not a think thing.Driving Impressions
New for 2012, the 2.0-liter SkyActiv powertrain performs ideally. We tested it hard, and it works. The engine makes 155 horsepower and 148 foot-pounds of torque, enough for plenty of acceleration. The 6-speed automatic transmission, also new for 2012, works beautifully with the available torque. At 70 mph, the engine spins at a leisurely 2200 rpm, smooth and silent. With the 6-speed manual, it runs 70 mph at 500 rpm more.
It's just an internal combustion gasoline engine. But this is what SkyActiv means: energy losses were reduced in the intake, compression, expansion and exhaust cycles (smaller bore, longer stroke, higher compression ratio, unique combustion pockets in the domed pistons, still 87 octane Regular gas). Sequential valve timing. Mazda attacked every source of friction it could find, claiming 74 percent improvement in oil pump drag, 31 percent water pump drag, 25 percent reciprocating internal drag, 54 percent reduction in valvetrain friction, 27 percent belt drag, and 13 percent valvetrain pumping loss. They looked for energy loss all the way down to the radiator fins.
Mazda estimates 28/40 miles per gallon, not yet EPA. We got 29.5 mpg driving it hard over the curvy 4910-foot-high Angeles Crest Highway east of Los Angeles, and 43.7 mpg returning to the city mostly on the freeway, running 65-70, accelerating and decelerating with the fast flow of traffic.
Mazda hasn't said it, so we'll say it for them: We don't need no stinkin' hybrids. Mazda has said its goal is to get diesel fuel mileage with their gasoline cars, and hybrid fuel mileage with their 2.2-liter diesel engine coming to the Mazda3 by June of 2013.
With Mazda3, the idea is to be like a sports sedan, when compared to the 40-mpg competition, namely the high-economy versions of the Hyundai Elantra, Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus and Honda Civic.
We give raves for the new 6-speed automatic transmission. The engineer behind the transmission rode with us with backstory that boosts our faith in carbuilding. He wanted to make the transmission shift as fast as a twin-clutch automatic manual, and 15 milliseconds is the result.
SkyActiv philosophy rules again, driving engineers back to the drawing board to meet the goals for shifting performance and efficiency. Detailed examination of all metal-to-metal contact, and redesign to be slicker. The transmission increases fuel mileage by about 2 mpg, out of the total increase of about 5 mpg.
It brings a breath of fresh air, in Manual mode. Obedience, a remarkable concept! Such a simple path to perfection. We ran the transmission through all the obedience tests where other automatics usually fail, and it did not fail. It will downshift aggressively, and upshift at low rpm. It will do what you ask it to, and no more, quicker and smoother than before.
Other manufacturers use CVTs, because they say they're more fuel efficient. Nobody really likes CVTs; some drivers don't notice, and some live with them, but these continuously variable transmissions turn cars into clothes dryers. There's a CVT in the Mazda3 for Japan, where it's all stop-and-go, slow driving. But CVTs aren't more fuel efficient out on the open road where zooming happens, so it wasn't even considered for this North American Mazda3.
The manual 6-speed transmission also got done by SkyActiv. This time the goal was make it feel like the Miata MX-5 gearbox. Finding a shorter but not heavier throw at the shift lever, meant redesigning gearbox internals, not just the linkage. The throw came down to 45mm from 50mm, the shortest throw of any passenger car made, claims Mazda.
"We've been making transmission for 20 years, we know what a good one feels like," said our passenger. We've been testing them for 20, we do too. This one feels great.
The suspension on all models has been tweaked to deliver a more European feel. We ran a lot of harsh patchy pavement on curvy roads, and it wasn't quite a sport sedan, but the feedback was direct, driven hard with the 6-speed automatic transmission in Manual mode. The harsh patches never made the ride uncomfortable.

As for the 2.5-liter engine, with 167 horsepower and 168 pounds of torque, it truly gets the job done. The best happens when the tachometer swings through the 4500-4800 rpm range and keeps pulling to near redline. It climbs hills with confidence and cruises on the highway effortlessly. Of course you pay for the power, as the 2.5-liter is EPA-rated at just 22/29 mpg with the automatic, 20/28 mpg with the manual. But stay tuned for the SkyActiv 2.5-liter. Mazda plans to do them all.
Fuel economy for the base 2.0-liter engine is an EPA-estimated 25/33 mpg with the 5-speed manual, 24/33 mpg with the 5-speed automatic.Summary
The 2012 Mazda3 benefits from a freshened grille that reduces the big grin on last year's models. The Mazda3 comes in 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback versions, both with friendly, convenient interiors. The new 2012 SkyActiv 2.0-liter package is an impressive achievement, with zoom-zoom performance, wonderful automatic and manual transmissions, ideal controls, and 40 miles per gallon on the highway.

(Boston, Mass. – June 1, 2010) - Fine particle concentrations are expected to exceed the air quality health standard on June 2, 2010, in northern New Hampshire and Maine, with the highest or "generally unhealthy" concentrations expected in Maine.
Elevated fine particle concentrations were recorded in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont on Monday, May 31, 2010. See https://www.epa.gov/ne/airquality/pm25exceed-10.html
"We are expecting Wednesday to be another unhealthy air quality day in northern New England," said Curt Spalding, administrator of EPA's New England office. "On these days, EPA and the medical community suggest that people limit their strenuous outdoor activity."
Exposure to elevated particulate levels can increase the likelihood of respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals, aggravate heart or lung disease, and cause premature mortality in people with cardiopulmonary disease and older people.
When particulate concentrations are predicted to be "generally unhealthy," people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.
In order to help New England residents prepare for poor air quality, EPA and the New England states provide real-time air quality data and forecasts. The real-time air quality data and forecasts are available at https://www.epa.gov/ne/aqi/index.html .
People can also sign up at http://www.enviroflash.info/ to receive air quality alerts. The Enviroflash program is a free service provided by EPA in conjunction with the New England states which automatically notifies you by e-mail when poor air quality is predicted in your area.

For the majority of his career, David Goldberg, 31, has had to wear a suit and tie to work. Like many men, he said he eventually gets bored with the ties he owns.
When he was working at the financial services firm Merrill Lynch, he and his male colleagues participated in a tie-swap, sharing their ties with each other, three at a time.
He then came up with the idea for an accessories subscription company for men: FreshNeck. He describes it as similar to movie streaming and DVD delivery firm Netflix or women's clothing and accessories rental site, Rent the Runway.
"I always felt forced to wear ties and all that stuff, but it's sort of an aesthetic accessory," said Goldberg, who is an attorney by training. "If you're going to do it just for looks, to express your personality, and to add a shot of color to an outfit, why wear the same ones over and over?"
He said he also felt inspired about two and a half years ago, when heard that Rent the Runway had received startup funding.
"It struck me as genius," Goldberg said. "I wondered, 'How do we do this for men?'"
The company, based in New York City, had a soft-launch on Dec. 24 and opened to the public on Jan. 3 with about 150 members.
Three memberships range from $15 for three items a month to $55 for more items. The more you pay for a membership, the greater your access to higher-end ties and accessories, like those of Prada and Gucci.
About a quarter of FreshNeck's inventory is produced by niche designers.
"Our collection tends to skew to bold and unique items, like conversation starters," he said.
They're products about which people say while shopping, "I love that, but I can only wear that once."
In addition to ties, subscribers can rent tie clips and pocket squares.
Memberships are paid month-to-month and Goldberg said members come from all over the country.
When asked what some of the obstacles the company faced in its development, Goldberg said people questioned whether men care about fashion.
"The answer was yes. Especially here in New York City, it's kind of a no-brainer," Goldberg said.
With tight closet space in small New York apartments, the ability to rent accessories is more appealing, he said.
Trending now are bow-ties and pocket squares, especially for non-office use, he said.
Beyond that, narrower widths are popular as are a variety of tie fabrics, like wool, cotton, cashmere and linen.
If you happen to get a minor stain on a tie or accessory, cleaning is on the house, Goldberg said. For major fixer-uppers, FreshNeck will charge you $8. If you lose your tie, you buy them.
If you happen to like the tie that you rented, you can keep it and pay a discounted retail rate.
The company has style recommendations that match the tie you choose, such as showing appropriate cuff links and pocket squares.
You can also buy a membership as a gift for someone. "Wives can buy memberships for their husbands," he added.

Saluki / Lucid525/528 USB Boot hang (SOLVED)
Subject description: USB boot freezes due to syslinux version incompatibility
Saluki and Lucid USB boot freeze problems.
I have encountered two problems trying to boot either Saluki or Lucid from USB sticks. Both of these operating systems show both of the fault symptoms. The two faults are not identical, but very similar, and can both be overcome by the same method.
I have mentioned this problem with Saluki here:
and Brown Mouse echoed something similar with Lucid 528.005 two posts after mine. I have now done more extensive testing to confirm that both Saluki and recent Lucid versions consistently show this behaviour on my hardware.
Symptom 1:
After installing either Saluki or Lucid 528.005 to usb stick I am unable to boot from the stick due to an error early on in the boot process, where the screen hangs forever saying:
SYSLINUX 4.05 EDD 0x4f131b2f Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H Peter Anvin et al.
If I forcibly turn off the power and reboot immediately the stick will boot correctly without further problems. However, if the power is left off for 20 seconds or more before the reboot, the problem will return (making troubleshooting efforts a bit confusing and time consuming...) I thought this may have been an issue with a "slow" usb stick, so I tried a faster one and got symptom 2:
Symptom 2:
After installing either Saluki or Lucid 528.005 to a faster usb stick I am unable to boot from the stick due to an error early on in the boot process, where the screen hangs saying:
"Invalid or damaged Bootable partition"
I trialled a number of Puppies to verify the operation of my hardware and the reliability of the usb sticks and have so far proven the following:
I experience this problem with Saluki 17, 20 and 21 (no other Salukis tried yet), and Lucid 525 and 528, including 528.005
I do not experience this problem with Lucid 5.2, Racy 5.3
(EDIT - unconfirmed - see later notes)
, RacyNOP 5.2.2, Slacko 53, Slacko Fat, or Puppy 4.3.1. (I have not tried to see if other puppies show this problem or not, as I feel this is sufficient so far to confirm an issue with Saluki and recent Lucid)
How to get past the problem:
EDITED to improve clarity:
To get past the problem I used a Puppy 4.3.1 live CD to run Gparted on this stick, then used the universal installer to install 4.3.1 to the stick, then I used a Saluki live CD to remove the 3 puppy 4.3.1 files and replace them with the appropriate Saluki versions. It worked perfectly. However, puppy 4.3.1 is now ancient and I don't know if this is an appropriate fix, so I also tried a similar thing with a more recent Racy, as follows:
*** EDIT: Please temporarily ignore this boldtype section as I am conducting further tests to confirm some variables)
I can get Saluki or recent Lucids to boot correctly from USB stick if I do the following:
1) Use Racy 5.3 live CD to Gparted the stick.
2) Use the universal installer to load Racy 5.3 to the stick.
3) Shut down, remove the CD, then reboot to confirm that the stick boots Racy53 correctly, then shutdown again.
4) Remove the usb stick, and reboot (using pfix=ram) from the Saluki CD.
5) Plug in the Racy53 usb stick.
6) Mount the usb stick and remove the Racy 53.sfs, VMLinuz and init.rd files.
7) Mount the Saluki CD and copy the Saluki version of those files onto the usb stick. I also copied the adrive and zdrive files but do not know if that was necessary....***TEMPORARILY IGNORE THIS BOLD SECTION***
It is tempting to say that this is "just a fault with the Saluki and Lucid universal installer", but I think it may be an issue with the SysLinux bootloader or, in particular, the ldlinux.sys file. I don't have the experience to be clear about where the problem lies, but at least using these methods I can get a working Saluki usb install.
In a further effort to pin down the problem, I tried doing the reverse. I used the Saluki Gparted and universal installer to create a faulty usb stick, then booted from a Racy53 live CD and removed the Saluki sfs, vmlinuz and init.rd files, and copied the Racy53 files to the stick. The problem remained. I then did a similar thing, but copied Racy53 to the stick via it's universal installer. This corrected the problem and I was able to boot successfully.
(My conclusion is that Saluki Gparted is ok, Saluki files are ok, but Saluki method of creating a bootable usb stick is not ok. The Racy 5.3 installer DOES seem to be ok.)
EDIT: Further investigation underway
I have only experienced this problem on my Acer eMachines netbook (manufacturing date 1009 which I think is a USA format, suggesting September 2010). This machine has Intel N450 cpu and 1gb ram. The problem did not occur on my Acer Aspire One with similar specs (except older 270 cpu) and a date code of 0909 (September 2009?). I do not have any other hardware recent enough to do adequate testing of Saluki (I tried it on my older Toshiba TE2100 but it seems unsuitable for Saluki).
I briefly stumbled across some bug reports on other forums that suggest usb boot freeze problems on HP mini netbooks, so it is possible that something like USB port hardware or BIOS type might be contributing.
I imagine that there are millions of Acer netbooks in circulation, and Saluki is a perfect OS for these machines so if others experience this problem it is a large target market that might reject Saluki and Lucid if they are unable to boot from a usb stick (which is a handy way of bypassing the inbuilt Windows OS without having to modify the HDD installation).

First possible cause for USB flash drive boot problems.
Some computers will only boot from USB flash drives that are formatted fat, Fat16 or Fat32.
So make sure that is the format of the flash drive.
The Puppy Universal installer may not do this formatting (by default) in newer Puppies.
Bootflash install Puppy to USB
program does specifically what it says. It will setup and do install using fat format.
One possible cause to check.
I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected

Thanks, Bigpup. In my tests I am booting from an EXT2 partition. (I should have mentioned that). The netbook seems happy to boot from EXT2, as I now have quite an extensive collection of usb sticks with different installs on them, all booting from either Fat32 or EXT2
My main concern is that Saluki and recent Lucids behave differently from all the other puppies I have tried.
I suspect many newcomers trying out Puppy will be wanting to boot their netbooks etc from USB so that they can leave their Windows installs untouched, and if Lucid and Saluki have usb boot problems those users will be put off.

I just tried my testing again, but this time formatting the whole stick as Fat32 (incl lba and boot flags), and the results are as follows:
Racy53 gives an error message of "Missing Operating System"
Lucid 528.005 says "Could not find Linux image"
However, If I format the stick with Puppy 4.3.1 Gparted and use it's universal installer to install the 4.3.1 files the stick boots fine.
Also, if I then remove the 4.3.1 files, and manually replace them with the corresponding Lucid 528.005 files, the stick will boot Lucid correctly.
So, my message if anyone else is experiencing boot issues with recent Lucid or Saluki, is create the bootable USB stick with Puppy 4.3.1, and then copy the newer puppy files across instead of the 4.3.1 vmliuz, initrd.gz and .sfs file.

Using the Saluki 021 Live CD and the Universal Installer, I set up a flash drive that worked fine.
However, Slacko failed until I ran the following command:
chmod 1777 /tmp
I have only experienced this problem on my Acer eMachines netbook
USB bootability has always been a black art.

Good job, greengeek, making this list. It appears an issue with the new version of extlinux and your hardware. The extlinux version on Saluki and Lupu 525/528 is
. The Lupu 520 and the others have extlinux
You can install syslinux-3.73 (extlinux is a part of the syslinux package) from Puppy-common repository.
Type 'extlinux --version' to confirm the version. To re-install extlinux, mount the USB (i assume it is at '/mnt/sdb1'), type 'extlinux -i /dev/sdb1'.
The grub4dos is also worth to try instead of the extlinux. I never use the Universal Installer nor syslinux/extlinux

1) Use Racy 5.3 live CD to Gparted the stick.
Gparted to some weird filesystems no one knows of like vfat-18 or xjtmpfs ??
I newer used to make a boot flag and was successful . I have read that this is only needed for programs/bootloaders that explicitly look for the boot flag ..
Will check if the bootflag may cause these problems .
I boot with legacy grub from USB and SDCARD , using /usr/sbin/grub-install . Debian grub-0.97 may not support ext4 .

Karl, you are right, my first post was not clear enough. I have made some edits to make it a bit more clear.
Also, I have made some more tests in order to try to minimise the variables. (When I tried to duplicate my results with Racy53 it seemed that the symptom was slightly different than I thought)
So here are some more detailed results of my testing with Racy 53:
(Sorry that this is a bit confusing and long winded - I want to try to find exact information)
I use an 8Gb USB stick. For this test I use Gparted to create the whole stick as one Fat32 partition. I set boot and lba flags on.
1) If I boot from the Racy53 CD and use the Racy53 Gparted and universal installer to load Racy53 the USB stick will not boot my netbook.
2) If I boot from a Puppy 4.3.1 CD and use the 4.3.1 Gparted and universal installer to load 4.3.1 to the stick it will boot my netbook correctly.
3) If I boot from 4.3.1 CD and use Gparted to partition the stick, then use the universal installer to load 4.3.1, then boot from Racy53 CD and use the Racy53 installer to load Racy53 to the stick it boots correctly.
4) If I boot from Racy53 CD and use Gparted to partition the stick then boot from 4.3.1 CD and use the universal installer to install 4.3.1, then boot from the Racy53 CD and use the universal installer to load Racy53 it will not boot.
(This suggests to me that there is something different about the newer version of Gparted)
5) If I boot from 4.3.1 CD and run Gparted, then shutdown (without loading 4.3.1 files), then boot from Racy53 CD and run the universal installer the stick will not boot.
This suggests to me that my USB stick is only formatted correctly when it is exposed to both the 4.3.1 Gparted, and also the 4.3.1 universal installer.
There seems to be some magic in the combination of the 4.3.1 Gparted and 4.3.1 universal installer.
So the answer is this:
Use 4.3.1 to run Gparted. Use universal installer to load 4.3.1. Boot with newer Puppy CD, run the newer universal installer and install that newer Puppy and then shutdown.
I have confirmed that this works with Racy53, but it does not quite work with Saluki or Lucid 528.005. With Saluki or Lucid 528 it is necessary for me to
the universal installer. So, use 4.3.1 to Gparted the stick, use 4.3.1 installer to copy 4.3.1 to stick. Boot from Saluki or Lucid CD, insert and mount stick, delete 4.3.1 vmlinuz, initrd,gz and sfs files, then manually copy the Saluki or Lucid vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and the sfs files to the usb stick.
More research to follow later.

That is correct. If you watch closely while the Universal Installer is running, you will see the "unsafe permissions" error message. You will also see that the file ldlinux.sys is NOT written to the flash drive, so it can't boot.
This is because the folder /tmp does not have its "sticky bit" set. I don't know why syslinux cares, but you can fix it with.
chmod 1777 /tmp

chmod 1777 /tmp
I have now tried this as follows:
Boot from Racy53 CD
Accept default first run setup parameters
Open terminal and type chmod 1777 /tmp
Insert 8Gb usb stick
Run Gparted and make single FAT32 partition of whole stick
Set boot and lba flags
Run universal installer
When finished, shutdown machine and wait 5 mins
Reboot machine from usb stick
Failure message is still "Missing operating system".
Attached is a shot of the contents of the usb stick (taken from Saluki which is installed on another usb stick)

Interesting. There is definitely something slightly different about your particular machine.
Reading back through your tests, I notice that you had failures with Saluki. I checked and it DOES have the /tmp permissions set correctly.
I can't see how it's a Gparted issue, which suggests that the new syslinux is causing the trouble.

HaHa all this makes me feel good running Puppy 4.3.x
And why use FAT ?
I would use a linux fs ..
Hey the sell 1GB flash for under one euro !!
I really think this all new has something to do with converting permissions/filenames into the defaults : x for textfiles and 8:3 filenames (puppy_wary_5.99.999.sfs would be a ~20:3 filename for example) and mount tells
DEVICE=`echo "$@" |grep -o '/dev/.*' |awk '{print $1}' |sed 's|^"||;s|"$||' |sed "s|^'||;s|'$||"`
#[ "$DEVICE" ] || { echo "Error, DEVICE not specified (correctly).";exit 1; }
if [ "$DEVICE" ];then
FS_TYPE=`guess_fstype "$DEVICE"`
if [ ! "$FSTYPE" -o "$FS_TYPE" = 'unknown' ];then
FS_TYPE=`disktype "$DEVICE" |grep 'file system' |awk '{print $1}'`;fi
if [ ! "$FSTYPE" -o "$FS_TYPE" = 'unknown' ];then
#bash-3.2# guess_fstype /dev/sdb1
#/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sdb1 type vfat
echo "FS_TYPE='$FS_TYPE'"
[ -c "$DEVICE" -o -b "$DEVICE" ] && func_get_fs_type
This is something i have put into /bin/mount to play with the mount options (if i have time)
Mount options for fat
(Note: fat is not a separate filesystem, but a common part of the
msdos, umsdos and vfat filesystems.)
blocksize=512 / blocksize=1024 / blocksize=2048
Set blocksize (default 512).
uid=value and gid=value
Set the owner and group of all files. (Default: the uid and gid
of the current process.)
Set the umask (the bitmask of the permissions that are not
present). The default is the umask of the current process. The
value is given in octal.
Set the umask applied to directories only. The default is the
umask of the current process. The value is given in octal.
Set the umask applied to regular files only. The default is the
umask of the current process. The value is given in octal.
Three different levels of pickyness can be chosen:
Upper and lower case are accepted and equivalent, long
name parts are truncated (e.g. verylongname.foobar
becomes verylong.foo), leading and embedded spaces are
accepted in each name part (name and extension).
Like "relaxed", but many special characters (*, ?, <,
spaces, etc.) are rejected. This is the default.
Like "normal", but names may not contain long parts and
special characters that are sometimes used on Linux, but
are not accepted by MS‐DOS are rejected. (+, =, spaces,
Sets the codepage for converting to shortname characters on FAT
and VFAT filesystems. By default, codepage 437 is used.
conv=b[inary] / conv=t[ext] / conv=a[uto]
The fat file system can perform CRLF<‐‐>NL (MS‐DOS text format
to UNIX text format) conversion in the kernel. The following
conversion modes are available:
binary no translation is performed. This is the default.
text CRLF<‐‐>NL translation is performed on all files.
auto CRLF<‐‐>NL translation is performed on all files that
don't have a "well‐known binary" extension. The list of

Interesting. There is definitely something slightly different about your particular machine.
Yes, it is rather annoying that there can be significant differences from one machine to another. I do hope to pin this issue down a bit better though, because I suspect any other user who tries a usb install on some of the recent puppies (and using a netbook similar to mine) may have similar troubles.
And I think there would be many people who would prefer to leave the inbuilt Windows partition alone, and simply carry a usb stick with a recent puppy to boot from. (I have to run the Windows partition for work related firmware updating programmes and DOS work but use Puppy for all my other stuff)

HaHa all this makes me feel good running Puppy 4.3.x
And why use FAT ?
Yes, good old 4.3.1! The reason for using Fat at the moment is this: I want to be sure that any new Puppy user can boot their netbook with Saluki, Lucid, Slacko, Nop etc etc installed to a usb stick, and leaving their windows installation untouched.
If you buy a usb stick from the store it is likely to be formatted as some version of FAT, and many people would want to simply plug it in and install Puppy. I want to make sure that this process works.

I would strongliest recommend to look at this :
I have installed this driver (comes with gui) on one XP and one 7 installation and it works even to mount ext4 partitions .
ext4 is involving and i don't know if this driver supports all current ext4 parameters, but the fs creation utilities with their default values (ie mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb#) should work OK .
The gui is a little too sophisticated especially when not run at Win bootup but otherwise works great .
When this driver is installed, then there is no need for FAT !

An adult bicycle rider was injured Thursday afternoon when the bike he was riding collided with a pickup truck on Market Street in Hannibal.
An adult bicycle rider was injured Thursday afternoon when the bike he was riding collided with a pickup truck on Market Street in Hannibal.
The bicycle rider was identified by police as Luther Robinson of Hannibal. Robinson was transported from the scene by Marion County Ambulance. The nature of his injuries and condition were not immediately known.
According to a preliminary scanner report, Robinson was unresponsive at the scene immediately after the crash. However, an onlooker at the scene indicated that Robinson was talking with emergency response personnel.
The accident happened shortly after 4 p.m. at Dowling and Market streets, just west of Eugene Field Elementary School. While police were still investigating the mishap, an onlooker reported that Robinson was coming down Dowling and struck the silver pickup that was turning west onto Market Street.
"I heard the impact up the street," said Lee Myers of 119 Dowling St. "It was a big smack."
Myers indentified the driver of the pickup as Mike Peterson of Hannibal, who is staying with his family.
"He had just left our house. He stopped at the stop sign and then he (Robinson) jumped off the curb and hit the pickup," he said.
Myers said it's not uncommon for bicyclists and scooter riders to pull into traffic in that area.
"I'm surprised it does not happen more often," he said. "Kids don't watch when they come off the sidewalk. He (Robinson) is old enough to know better."
Lori Crane said Robinson is a frequent bike rider.
"He rides all over town," she said. "I bet he won't be riding his bike for a while."

Ball State University has two greenhouses, both located within Christy Woods. The Orchid Greenhouse and the Teaching and Research Greenhouse are both available to visit and study.
Both greenhouses are open to the public for self-guided tours Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or by contacting the field coordinator, Sharyl Grant.
The greenhouses are located in the southwest area of the Ball State campus. Pedestrian access is via University Avenue or Riverside Avenue and the parking lot next to Ball Gym. Please contact Parking Services at 285-1208 for information about parking on campus.
Volunteers are very important to Christy Woods.
The Field Station and Environmental Education Center invites interested Ball State students and community members to become a docent for the greenhouses. Upon completing required training, our new docent program will allow a small number of select volunteers to greet visitors and assist with tours.
Please e-mail the Field Station if you would like to volunteer to become a docent.

I've ignored my blog for a while!! not intentionally, I have just been so busy through January. So here is some of what I have done, lots of new designs and ideas on the work table with some older designs reinstated with a few little improvements. Above is a mini rainbow pony and mini molly dolly bear, below are some knitted pocket animals, I used to make these a couple of years ago and have waited for an opportunity to revise the pattern and add them to my shop.
Above is a lovely new Molly Dolly with a linen and Liberty tana lawn dress and little felt fox purse. Below are a couple of new yoyo baby dolls available here. And a lovely Molly Dolly mouse in knitted pants and vintage cotton top.
The white linen puppy and rainbow pony were just completed today and will be in my Etsy shop soon. I love adding just enough kitsch details, like flourescent bling, rainbow hair and cartoon like features to contrast nicely with the linen, hand stitching and vintage cloths. I'm also working up a lot of jewellery samples, some painted clay, some shrink plastic drawings and some leather and cloth wrist bands. The last couple of photos show me half way through sorting out my workspace, with Ikea shelves and boxes, still a lot to do but it's looking better organised already! so I hope your new year has got off to a swinging start as well, I've got to get back to work now, see you soon.

The Windows/Linux/OS X holy wars are pointless. Use what you like. It's just an operating system on a computer. Seriously.
Edited because it was probably wrong.
Last edited by mikezila; May 5th, 2009 at 09:58 PM. Reason: Idiocy.
The Windows/Linux/OS X holy wars are pointless. Use what you like. It's just an operating system on a computer. Seriously.
Having some trouble. Everything is setup correctly (or it seems to be), it's just that wireshark is still seeing a bunch of plain TCP packets, with no "SSL Continuation Data" at all, leading me to believe that it just isn't working. Here's some details.
I'm using giganews, and I have SSL enabled on my account. Diamond plan baby!
I'm using Pan, and Pan is connecting to localhost at port 119
stunnel is configured exactly as in OP's post, save for my nntp section, which is:
stunnel is also ENABLED=1, so I know that's not it.Code:[nntp] accept = localhost:119 connect = news.giganews.com:563
Pan connects and works correctly, but when I fire up Wireshark to monitor my tubes, they're clogged with normal TCP traffic! What gives! I need my tinfoil headgear!

Thanks to the OP for this helpful post. I got stunnel going with Astraweb. Had to use:
for some reason ssl.astranews.com:563 didn't work.
Anyhow, since stunnel requires sudo to start, is there a way to automatically start it at boot? I thought programs that required sudo could not be started without password. Im new to Linux, so that might be a very simple thing..
Add the following line at the end of the /etc/sudoers file (use down arrow to move cursor down to bottom)Code:export EDITOR=gedit && sudo visudo
Replace "johndoe" by the name of the user or the group which can use sudo and do the modification.Code:johndoe ALL= NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/stunnel4 restart
Finally you need to add stunnel to the startup programs list from [System] [Preferences] [Startup Applications] [Add]
Name: stunnel4
Command: bash -c "sleep 45; sudo /etc/init.d/stunnel4 restart --start-hidden"
Comment: whatever
Note the 45 seconds is the pause before the stunnel starts. You may want to adjust this pause or not have one at all. I don't jump right into using pan after boot so I set a long pause.
Last edited by russetaylor; November 21st, 2009 at 05:02 AM. Reason: confusing
I set the local port listening for stunnel to 11900 instead of 119 and this seems to get around the sudo problem.
I can now boot the PC, logon on as a non-sudoer user and it just works when starting pan without any command line instructions.
I had to change the server setup in Pan to also point to localhost 11900.
Great HOWTO. I'm using PAN to connect to UsenetMonster. Configuring Stunnel and PAN together was simple and worked first time.

Cold school building greets New London middle schoolers
New London — A boiler at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School stopped working overnight Wednesday, and students arrived to a cold school building Thursday morning.
The school has two boilers, but one has not been working for some time, Superintendent of Schools Nicholas A. Fischer said Thursday evening at the Board of Education meeting.
The school was able to get the boiler working again late Thursday morning, he said, but some rooms on the lower levels of the school were still deemed too cold for occupancy when representatives from Ledge Light Health District responded Thursday morning to make sure that temperatures in the classrooms were appropriate for students — 65 degrees, according to Bennie Dover Jackson Principal Alison Ryan.
Classrooms deemed too cold were not used for the day.
Students were moved to the third and fourth floors of the school, where the heat was set at 70 degrees, despite prior notice to parents through the school's emergency notification system that their children would be taken by bus to Jennings Elementary School or the high school for the rest of the school day.
"Thankfully, the third and fourth floors of the building held on to the heat and we were able to maintain a good part of our programs there," Fischer said.
The temperature in New London dipped into the single digits Wednesday morning and rose to a high of 21 degrees in the early afternoon.
Mongi Dhaouadi, a member of the middle school's governance council, said during the meeting that while he doesn't have a student at the school, the situation was "disturbing."
"We knew this problem was coming, and we allowed it to happen. The issue probably rests more with the city than the school, but it's not acceptable to me, and I doubt that there was also a plan in place for the evacuation of the students," he said.
"It's a breakdown in leadership at every level, from the city to the school to the parents," Dhaouadi said.
Fischer said the district's custodial staff was scheduled to work in rotating shifts overnight Thursday to make sure the boiler remained functioning for school this morning, but that the boilers need to be repaired.
"I think it suggests a long-term financial issue that we as a city and a community have to look at. We need to invest in long-term projects," Fischer said. "We will not allow children to go into any parts of the building that do not have sufficient temperatures."
Board Chairwoman Margaret "Peg" Curtin said she knew the boilers had been an "ongoing problem."
"The (City) Council is aware of it, and we've got to start moving faster in this city, that's all," she said.

His MBA from Virginia Commonwealth University, and his strong educational background in the industry provide the foundation for his insights on the topics of retirement planning, investment strategies, interest rate environments and other factors that impact the global marketplace. Jamie, his wife Melissa, and their two sons, Ian and Cade, live in Mechanicsville, Virginia.
Aside from being a stellar financial professional, Jamie has made a powerful footprint in the social media world. He currently has over 14,000 Twitter followers, over 1,000 Facebook Fans, and a huge number of LinkedIn connections. His consistency, passion, and innovation on social media is remarkable—and a perfect testament to how social media can grow your practice.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the awesome opportunity to interview him. Here's what he had to say:
Q. How did you first get involved in social media?
I got "kicked in the pool", so to speak. I had a friend that told me I had to use these social networks. The first network I utilized was Facebook. At first, I had no idea what it was about. In fact, I remember asking "what happens when you post?" After I was shown, I said "Oh. That's it? I thought it was something grander."
I think that this is how most advisors initially approach social media. But once they get started, they realize it's not as complicated as they thought.
Q. Some advisers have been successful using Twitter and other sites to generate client leads. Do you do that?
When I first started using social media, Twitter was the platform I understood the best. In essence, you can follow anyone and anyone can follow you. It is a place where you speak in a microphone and anybody that wants to hear what you're saying can go on and find it.
What most people don't realize about Twitter is that it's also a search engine. If you want to utilize Twitter's maximum value, it's essential to use the search function. I subscribe to different feeds from different searches to hear conversations and gain insights about the clients I want.
In addition to using it as a search function, I use it to communicate with the media and generate PR for my brand. Doing this on Twitter has allowed for me to gain higher recognition.
In the past year, I've turned an estimated 30 leads into actual clients. In my experience, Twitter has been a really great point of entry where I'll cross paths and communicate with people. If they are interested, they often check out my other social platforms to make sure I am a credible, qualified advisor. From there, I often connect and communicate with them on other platforms. Nurturing these social relationships has proved to be really beneficial for me.
Q. Can you take me through all the varied elements of your social-media efforts?
I spend about 3-4 hours a day on Twitter. When I am on the phone with people, I often follow them on Twitter shortly thereafter. And even though I am on there all the time, I try to listen, listen, listen as much as I can. If there is something important for me to say, then I'll say it.
On Twitter, words are everything. What you say can and will be used against you. It is for this reason that I always re-read what I write and go back to delete if I'm concerned about something I might have said in the past.
Q. What kinds of mistakes do people make when it comes to social media?
I'd say the biggest mistake that advisors make is not doing it!
I also think it's important to have filter. Many people don't realize the implications of what they post, and for that reason, it's so important to monitor your word choice and always look back at what you said.
Another mistake I see is inconsistent personalities. It is very important that your personality on social media matches your real personality. I am not a funny guy in person, so I am not going to act like I'm funny on my social platforms. Don't be something you're not, because people will recognize it right away.
Q. Any other pointers about Twitter?
Direct messaging is a highly functional Twitter feature that makes it easy to stay out of the public sphere when communicating with people. If you need any element of privacy, this is a great tool.
Do advertising. In my experience, Twitter has a far greater click through rate than Facebook. It's very under-utilized. If people are actively looking for something, they can search for it and find it right down the middle of their screen. I've had great success with advertising on Twitter.
For advisors that have struggled adapting to social media, Jamie Cox is a great leader to emulate and follow on social media. Check out his platforms to get an idea of what works!
