Normally, I reserve more promotional blog posts for topics related to CUES Experience, but I have big news related to CUES' Execu/Summit that I have to share. (Bear with me, if you will.)

Remember Statler and Waldorf, the crazy critics from The Muppet Show?

They weren't the best at the "constructive" part of constructive criticism.

When I first started blogging, I was concerned that I got very few comments on my posts. I imagined people sitting down in front of their PCs, reading my posts, nodding their head, mumbling something like, "Interesting," and then immediately forgetting what they'd read. That was better than the alternative daydream in which folks scanned my posts, said something like, "Well, that's dumb," and then never came back to the blog.

I have to buy a car. I hate buying cars. Nevertheless, with the recent demise of my 1994 Honda, I've been swept into the used-car market. Bummer. The problem is compounded by my innate cheapness. It's hard enough for me to buy standard razor blades rather than cheap disposable razors, let alone spending thousands of dollars on something that is only going to cost me more money going forward.

Facebook, one of the most popular and fastest-growing social networking companies in the market today, has chosen Silicon Valley-based Technology Credit Union to be the official credit union for Facebook's expanding workforce. Talk about a SEG with potential for some viral marketing.

What do you think Tech CU should do to make the most of this opportunity?

Yesterday's CUES Golden Mirror Awards judging started right off by raising my respect for marketers dealing with numbers. (See my previous post.) The calculations made by the judging team I watched first really helped them rate submitted entries.

But the numbers story from Tuesday's day of judging doesn't end there.

It's tax season and with it comes a certain amount of stress. The Michigan Credit Union League http://www.mcul.org/ and Michigan credit unions are easing some of that burden by making sure members get all the credits they are eligible for on the federal and state levels.
