Robby Slaughter commented on Michael Reynolds's blog post 'Your call to action should be a click'
An interesting balance is between making things easy and making sure that people feel like they are in control. For example, one could set up a one-click registration system for which each recipient receives a unique link that corresponds to their…

Ultimately, Twitter is fun! Anything that is fun is worth my time, no matter what the value. I may need to do other less-fun things to eat, but I enjoy tweeting. @robbyslaughter

Robby Slaughter replied to Angela Miller's discussion 'Ideas for Venue...'
You can't rent an unused commercial space for a single event easily because of insurance and liability reasons. You might be able to make a deal with someone in an unusual situation if you had a connection, but it's not likely.

Apparitions and Authorship

A while back, the Indy Social Media Breakfast crowd organized a Ghost Blogging Debate. Though the event was impressively well-attended and the presenters suitably well-spoken, those assembled expected more bloodsport. Righteousness and ardent realism should have collided on the topic of ghostwriting. A veritable cagematch should have ensued, with a ravenous crowd chanting ominously. Crack your knuckles and prepare for the brawl the audience yearned to see.

Reasons To Say "No Comments"

As my blog Turning Left Against Traffic barrels into another year, readers and dissenters seem to offer one unifying query. Why does this blog refuse to permit comments? For the answer to this puzzling question, you will need to head down an electronic rabbit hole. Namely: venturing past this teaser paragraph into the heart of the post.… Continue

Contesting the Contests

In the style of Hollywood disaster flicks, October saw the coincidental release of two contests intended to highlight Indiana’s best blogs. One competition, sponsored by Linking Indiana, features sixty-seven candidates divided into ten categories. Despite its name, the Top 50 Indiana Blogs pro… Continue

Wearing Hats in Church

In the few minutes before the procession, I studied the worship space. Rows of pews flanked a long central aisle. Bold architectural lines culminated above a raised corner, forming a radiant starburst. Soon, a groom in a black suit and a bride in a white gown would appear and advance. Only the sea of heads in front of me seemed irregular. Each one was slightly obscured by a spiral of fabric: a kippah, or yarmulke.

Same But Different

A Jewish synagogue is unlike a Christian church in ways we fo… Continue

Freedom Killed the Video Stars

From my vantage point running a small business in Indiana, it’s impossible to avoid the tremendous array of “opportunities” for additional streams of income. Each is brazenly associated with an incredulous claim: healthy chocolate, superfood fruit juice, free jewelry or the existence of a subconscious blueprint in the millionaire mind. Given the number of programs and the persistence of their promoters, fairly evaluating each is a full-time job. That’s why I am taking on just one of these ventur… Continue

You're right that deadlines get missed due to lack of information, lack of communication and lack of cooperation. Have you subscribed to our newsletter yet?

Love to talk contests. Send me an email rslaughter@slaughterdevelopment.com.

Hello Robby, I just caught your article in IBJ. I can't say that the thought of deadlines made me jump for joy, but I did realize that the reason so many deadlines get missed is because there is a lack of information that keeps someone from moving forward.

I noticed your article on contests and would like to discuss this with you. It might make for a good follow up. http://www.professionalgifting.com/2009/10/win-a-powerdrive-cooler/

Robby...I read your post about iLG...I found it insightful, well researched, clever, caustic, and fantastically presented...You remind of a young William F. Buckley, if he had been of a more liberal bent..Your summation was brilliant, even if most fans/participants of iLg (MLM) do not get it/or admit it...

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. "Blatant self-promotion" is discouraged on SI, and "spam" is not welcome. Please be considerate of your fellow members.
