#9, Be Consistent in Your Language (it's free, too)
I love reading Seth Godin, and I plan to follow the lone one of his "8 Free Things Every Site Should Do" that I'm not already doing for ConsensusBest, specifically, create a consumer product information lens on his Squidoo site. But when, in item #3, he says to "click the button on the top right that says "build a lens," it should actually say that. Instead, I'll have to click on the button reading, "Make Your Own Page Like This."

Presenting...
Consensusbest.com. The site I've been working on some time is now up! It's a work in progress, but the idea is save consumers time by researching all the best product review sources and aggregating the information to come up with lists of the "Consensus Best" products at various price points. We also show you the criteria used to assess what's best and, importantly, show you local stores that carry the item. We're starting with a handful of categories including baby products and cell phones and will be rapidly adding more.
We're hoping to help provide a missing link between online product research and offline shopping, where most buying still occurs. We're starting with our home-base in the mid-Hudson Valley (though users elsewhere can still find national retailers near them) and plan to quickly expand from there.
Check it out, let me know what you think, and what ideas you have for making it better. Thanks!

TV-length ads too long for micro-videos
I just clicked on a 1 minute, 51 second video report at nytimes.com and had to first watch a 30-second ad. That's too long to wait for too short a report.

Apples to Oranges
So, as this screenshot of Techmeme shows, the blogosphere is going ga-ga over Microsoft's new Zune media player.
Seems the only one who doesn't think it's a big deal is...Microsoft.
This screenshot is pretty much what I saw just now on their homepage (only the phone pictured was different).
When Steve Jobs gives a performance and announces new products that stuff is front and center on the Apple homepage as Jobs is speaking.
A lesson for Microsoft.
