Juan, once again you hit a relevant spot with your Boot Camp at Cedar Gallery. All I can say is wow! If that weren’t enough, you give us Malia and her “Great Minds Do Exist in the Antelope Valley” narrative which was both funny and eye opening at the same time. All that was reinforced by Mr. Goins and his Art Institute.

All we gotta do is to keep reminding people to network their creative wares and I also believe Malia’s thoughts on sharing instead of competing is the answer. You do realize that this is pioneering stuff we’re talking about…and we’re the only ones doing it.

Remember: First Saturday of every month at Cedar Gallery will be something different and relevant to the creative processes in the AV. January 3 will see us off to The Bergamot in Santa Monica for a day-filled art excursion. If you’d like the info to this, Email me and I’ll see to it.

Comment on Reputation Management and the New Economy - Is the “Rip Off Report” a rip off? by Joe

Actually a couple of things are not completely accurate. Consumers have every right to make any kind of comment to any posting. Check the Consumer Comments. So, if you’re a friend of a company, you can go on at any length about all the virtues of a company, so people other than complainers DO have a voice. I have been such a friend.

Second, ROR appears to make money from their CAP program, too, so if a company wants to get the Editor to investigate claims and write a positive review that appears at the top of every report, they can pay for it. Yes, it’s expensive, but given the top rankings ROR gets, it may be worth the PR cost.

I tend to agree with your friend that “People who have an iota of discernment are not going to be concerned with what a handful of hysterical complainers have to say.” It’s the ones with a lot of complaints that are worth looking into. If you’ve ever been ripped off by an MLM scam as I have, you learn it’s worth doing the research, and you’re glad for it at Ripoff Report.

Another way to look at it, too, is what if all the top 3 pages of Google were SEO plants, and it turns out the company was a scammer or sham? Shouldn’t complaint sites at least be a significant part of the research, so that people get a realistic view? Personally, i don’t want the corps to “own” search engine rankings. I want to make an informed opinion and trust my own judgment. My 2 cents.

Hey Malia,

Great to hear from you!

It just hit me that we met at Marie Calendar weeks ago. Forgive my forgetfulness.

You struck a nerve when you mentioned a kindred desire to uplift the creative services environment in the AV. In the next few weeks, let’s chat and exchange ideas to see how we can join forces to elevate the region creatively.

Thanks for including me in your blog. I am honored that you thought enough of me to share your thoughts.

God bless,

Juan Roberts

How to will be part 2! It is always easier to say and actual doing it. I just read a quote 2 days ago, “an ounce of action is worth more a ton of theory.” Yes you reight that we MUST get out of the bench.
