@chris_hawk exactly.

@RicardoFayet just tried to export @joltbook (getting ready for tomorrow's soft-launch). The export failed. You able to look at it?

@jeff_archibald lol

@frankiecandid I hadn't read this yet! Thanks for sharing it! Definitely applies to what I've been writing about lately.

BTW - @sivers' "A Real Person Like You" is still the best piece on being civil on the internet:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfwwHa-7Ux8

Remember: the internet is global. There's a great variety of cultures, backgrounds, & age groups here. It's easy to misinterpret intent.

Be nice.

This means not having knee-jerk reactions to what people say. Give it a minute. Consider what's going on in their life. Their POV.

Some days you're just not feeling it. Gotta persist. 👊

@pixelcontrol thanks Mariusz!

Don’t be mean to people on the Internet.

@hunterwalk isn't that the law? It is in Canada.

I ❤️ @sivers' rule for public speaking:

"Cut out everything that's not surprising"

The same rule applies to email.

@knorrium lol. Nope. That’s from http://uifaces.com

@Jonflarson I like this one:

RT @TimDuffy: It's obvious email isn't secure. The only truly private communication is stuff you say towards the end of a very long podcast.

@pixelcontrol 👌🏼

@pixelcontrol thank you! How did you find it?

RT @ZeeJab: Nobody's mind has ever been changed by being publicly shamed.

@ma_jacques awww yeah! What are you listening to? @megamaker3000?

@chrisbowler lol. This is true! 😜

cc @natekontny @CoWorkVernon

@mannaxc ah yes! I should have asked. ;)

@natekontny next time you’re in the Okanagan, come visit me at @CoWorkVernon.

It’s very quiet here. 👍

(It helps that we’re small)

@dannypostmaa OMG 😱

@natekontny I think he’s still 3 degrees of separation from Reddit. He knows the memes, but doesn’t know the source. 😜

@markoxvee I really hate the idea of zombies, so I chose giant chickens.

My son just turned 11, and is now asking real, hard, life questions:

I just reread this piece by my friend @chase_reeves and it’s so damned good. It made me cry. @chase_reeves/perspectives-1-year-after-my-sons-birth-death-f3348475bb28#---0-86.nk9cve6hu" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://medium.com/@chase_reeves/perspectives-1-year-after-my-sons-birth-death-f3348475bb28#---0-86.nk9cve6hu

Google+'s problem was that it was *too much* like Facebook.

What makes people try a new app?

Think Snapchat: unconventional, weird, fun.

@adampatterson it’s a sensation. An absolute sensation.

@adampatterson while I was watching @oksk8co we made a sale because of Pokemon Go. 😉

.@destraynor true!

And even if they create something comparable, there’s *still* no incentive to switch.

No one wants to move laterally.

@cronin I feel like the Conservatives landed more far right than center-right.

(but maybe I was wrong about Green?)

@cronin hard to tell. The Conservative party was a joining of Reform (far-right) and Progressive Conservative (center-right)

@johnroderick

"It's good enough" is why people continue to use Microsoft Excel. There's lots of other options, but Excel "just works." Why switch?

Our brains can't constantly be evaluating whether there's a "better solution" out there.

Eventually, we choose and settle.

Customers are especially loyal to the product they're using *now* because there's a general sense of "tools fatigue."

Too many options.

Reviewing the #jtbd forces diagram.

"The habit of the present" is much stronger than most product people realize.

@johnroderick in 🇨🇦 we have:

Far-right: Conservatives
Center-right: none
Center-Left: Liberals (in power)
Far-Left: NDP
Faaaar-Left: Green

@jeff_goldenberg @amahnke yes!

@sam3allen wha’cha talking about? This photo is AWESOME! 👌

RT @sam3allen: So excited! @mijustin's MegaMaker hat came in the mail today. 🎉👒

@sam3allen can I PLEASE use this photo in the gallery here? http://store.megamaker.co/product/five-panel-cap/

LOVE IT!

@sam3allen OMG!!!!!!!! 🙌

@Ar4Gorn same information, written for different audiences. Marketing for Product People is for more non-technical folks. 👌

@lesterbuck AWWWW YEAAAH! 🤘

@h0ke 😜

@aarondfrancis lol.

"Quit copying best practices. Following the crowd just means you blend in. You don't want to fit in; you want to stand out."
– @joltbook

@doogietweets no, thank you! Really appreciate it.

@doogietweets here’s a special link just for you: https://gum.co/joltbook/proffitt

Someone at this coffee shop just gave me $10 cash to preorder @joltbook. 👍

My mom is coming to visit. We're making plans.

@RocketshipFM lol. Hey y’all!

@RocketshipFM DANG CORP ACCOUNTS! RUINING AMERICA!

.@averbs AWWW YEAAAAAH! Love seeing all these @joltbook orders coming in today. 🎉

The best part about being a dad in 2016 is the ability to text your dad jokes to your kids when they're not in the same room as you.

@kirkkohler not us two! WE'RE THE HUMANS!

@BillSKenney 🙏 YASSSSS

High five to all the real humans out there. 🖐

@dotNetkow thanks!

.@richfbouchard sure did!

AWWWWWW YEAAAAAH! 💯

@maexco awesome!!! Thank you!

Humanity rests on the delicate tension between:

our evolutionary instincts to survive & win

and

our civilized desire to care for all.

@KiaKamgar YAAASSSSS!

@jeff_goldenberg AWWW YEAAAH! Thanks.

@_neilch AWWW YEAAAH! Thank you.

@adamwathan thank you!! 🙌

I only need 3 more sales to get to my @joltbook pre-order goal!

Some folks were having trouble with the @joltbook pre-order, so I've extended the deadline until tomorrow!

https://gum.co/joltbook/preorder

RT @markoxvee: Sell more products & help @mijustin hit 500 preorders of his new book Jolt. Tomorrow is the last day you can save $6 https:/…

@javebratt awesome thanks!

@MarcusHanda yes! Lots of ideas on how freelancers can stand out from the crowd.

@chris_hawk yup! I wrecked a few things, but not too much. 😜

@moloneymike sweet; I'll check those out!

@Tr_vorG love this one! Thanks.

@scrivs I definitely wouldn't vote for Trump.

@zachdaniel_ the circus around the nomination process + conventions in the USA is insane for a Canadian. Feels like its from an alien planet

@SingleFounder good stats here: http://www.nationalobserver.com/2015/12/04/news/how-american-gun-deaths-and-gun-laws-compare-canadas

"Canada’s rate is about seven times lower than that of the US (3.5 per 100k ppl)"

@SingleFounder true. It'd be interesting to look into handgun / assault weapon ownership by state.

Up here, there very few handguns.

@matthewcrist I honestly don't know what I'd do if I was there.

@davecraige thanks!

@Shpigford is a good dude 👍

@zachdaniel_ glad you're liking @megamaker3000!

Politics: much less of this -->
https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/755655819417493504

Guns: hardly any here.

@SingleFounder what I've seen with my own eyes in Nevada and Texas is enough to scare me about the guns. 😧

@yeddiejones but this guy + the power of the evangelical lobby + the weapons fetish scare the 💩 out of me.

@yeddiejones it's tough. My mom's from Ohio. I have tons of family in the US. Cities like Austin and Portland inspire me.

The challenge for Canada & Mexico:

What happens in the 🇺🇸 really affects us. So far, the relationship has been (mostly) benevolent.

I've been offered jobs in the 🇺🇸.

I ❤️ the people, the cities, the innovation.

But 🇺🇸 politics + religion + guns scare me. Can't do it.

@ideasasylum depends on how Trump voters view Putin. 😥

@vlucas it feels like that’s a Trump trap. It’s all about headcount. Trump has enough support on the non-progressive side to win doesn’t he?

@tzaddi can you give me an example?

One of the most talented, up and coming filmmakers I've met (@theleviallen) is doing a Kickstarter. I backed it! 🙌 http://kck.st/2afNM3z

@TallGamer why is this funny? 😉

@mrcalexandre what’s an example of a “setup?”

@jamesvandyne can you give me an example of a design account you love?

A new episode of my podcast is out.

Includes a great chat with @mikaelcho on the success of @unsplash 💯 https://overcast.fm/+F111G00Gw

@punkbot all cats all the time?

@gregbarbosa can you give me an example of an account you love?

@markoxvee can you give me an example! You’re the second person to mention drones.
