| − | * '''I've started a [[AboutUsLogo|consensus poll]] to decide the outcome of the [[:Image:AboutUsLogoVote.png|proposed AboutUs logo]].''' Please participate, as I think we would like to move onwards with this decision. Also, if you have any suggestions about the [[AboutUsLogo#We.27re_Done_When_...|GoThresholds]] for this poll please feel free to change them or discuss with me. I'm not entirely confident about the numbers and percentages proposed. --[[Vinh Nguyen]]

| − | * There was a cool little post about [http://fortuito.us/2007/05/how_ads_really_work_superfans_1 advertising] when you have registration and repeat users, might be something to think about for AboutUs. [[User:Simon Koldyk|Simon]] | <small>[[User talk:Simon Koldyk|talk]]</small>

| − | ** Simon, that was a great article. [[MarkDilley]]

| − | :*I'm highly guessing #1, Aboutus.org dosen't usually pick up the domain after 3 days of it being up. Google became a domain registrar about 6-8 months ago so they could have access to the registration logs. --[[User:Simon Koldyk|Simon]] | <small>[[User talk:Simon Koldyk|talk]]</small> 10:42, 1 June 2007 (PDT)

| − | :* In fact, the [[AboutUsBot]] doesn't currently add any pages on it's own. Someone has to type in the name or click on a redlink. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]

| − | * Tip of the hat to [[Scott]] for this video series of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at [[AllThingsD.com]]. I would like to draw particular attention to the comment of Steve Jobs late in the last video, the Q and A session, where he talks about [[Apple.com]] stores One On One training. They started a year ago and have done a million one hour trainings. This is very exciting and telling to the kind of work I believe we need to do here at [[AboutUs]]. [[MarkDilley]]
