Vincent Wright asked a question in Go Daddy on May 12, 2009 16:40:
If GoDaddy Takes Money Out Of My Account, Why Shouldn't They Pay Interest While They Have My Money?Seeking a refund from GoDaddy after they 1.) changed the autorenewal on my account 2.) took money - without my approval @GoDaddyGuy #GoDaddy
FYI:
1. I was told that it would take 5 days to refund the money which was electronically removed from my account.
2. My question is: WHY??
3. Why does money collected from GoDaddy members have to go into *LIMBO* for 5 days - without our being able to get interest?
4. The money gets taken out of our accounts, sits somewhere for 5 days, earns interest for 5 days so, why shouldn't that interest belong to us, the GoDaddy members whose money was taken out of our accounts for services which we did not explicitly authorize?
5. See this question on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/VincentWright/stat...-

Hi, Sean,
Not sure why auto-copy wasn't working but, tried all the standard things including double clicking the URL and Ctrl+C. I was in Firefox 2.0.0.16 on Windows XP
Bottom line: I was eventually able to get the API key copied - "all's right with the world".
Thanks, and Keep STRONG, Sean!!

Vincent Wright reported a problem in Ping.fm on November 28, 2008 15:53:
Ping.gm application key for Facebook NOT copying to clipboard1. Followed the steps to add Ping.fm app to Facebook.
2. Used the "Click here to get your application key. " to get application key
3. Tried to highlight and grab application key but, of course, Ping.fm is set up to protect against that technique. Instead, Ping.fm instructs us to "Click your application key to copy it to the clipboard. "
4. However, in clicking the application key, it is NOT picked up to the clipboard - thus, the Facebook app is stuck in limbo... -
A comment on the praise "Ooops!...Could This Be TRUE??? Could Linkedin Have Been RIGHT About The 50 Groups Limit?????" in LinkedIn:
Christopher, thanks kindly for your very useful response. (It appears that I may have been off of LInkedin longer than I thought - I hadn't seen the feature for controlling group messages.) – Vincent Wright, on November 14, 2008 18:50 -
Vincent Wright gave praise in LinkedIn on November 13, 2008 23:00:
Ooops!...Could This Be TRUE??? Could Linkedin Have Been RIGHT About The 50 Groups Limit?????Whether it's a person, a concept, an incorporeal entity, or a corporation, when we get upset with them, one of the hardest possible things for us to do is to admit they may have been right about ANY issue.
Of course, acquiescing to one out of a myriad of issues doesn't mean that you'd have to blanketly acquiesce to all differences but, um, how do I say this - without inviting countless "I told you so's"?
So, as carefully as I can state a change in opinion about one matter, here goes...
After being back on Linkedin for a couple of months after my voluntary 90-day hiatus, I started to slowly join a few Linkedin groups. (What can I say, I'm a groupie. We'll just have to live with that...)
BUT, as I started to join those groups, Linkedin implemented its discussion feature for Linkedin Groups.
Now, before I left Linkedin, I'd created just under 100 groups of my own with total memberships of somewhere between 45-65,000. Further to my own groups, I have no earthly idea how many hundreds of other groups I'd joined! But, it was LOTS! Hundreds, for sure...
I'm now in just 32 groups, including 4 or 5 I've created.
But now with the discussions feature added, even with my belonging to just 32 groups, the volume of email is QUITE PRONOUNCED! (I clock about 1,200 messages every day even without messages from Linkedin Groups.)
That means that if 32 groups generated a VERY NOTICEABLE INCREASE in my email message load, think about what being in 50 groups would do. And just IMAGINE what being in FIVE HUNDRED Linkedin groups would do to your email volume. (Of course, some of it consists of repeat email messages from cross-postings on different groups within the same professional discipline.)
So, even though I kind of liked all those groups I used to own and belong to, I don't think I would have wanted 10, 20, or even 50 times more email messages than I'm currently getting from Linkedin Groups...
Thus, though the implementation wasn't necessarily the best, it appears that Linkedin may have been correct in limiting members to 50 groups - at least in terms of this measure. (I'm fully aware that Facebook has a group limit of 200 and that Yahoo Groups has no limit...)
How are you handling the increase in messages from Linkedin Groups?

I'm still concerned - even after 3 months of waiting for Spock to respond. Thus, I give Spock the lowest rating Get Satisfaction allows. -

Which is why, notafish, that as much as some of my friends are saying nice things about them, I have to rate Spock the lowest possible GetSatisfaction rating of zero (0) (You'll note that Spock never responded to my last question from 3 months ago.) – Vincent Wright, on October 30, 2008 19:07 -
Vincent Wright replied on October 10, 2008 13:29 to the idea "a forum for job seekers- 750,00 Jobless....seeking Help!" in LinkedIn:
Vicki,
With unemployment being what it is and what it's likely to be in 2009, this is a great suggestion. However, I would encourage *you* to take the initiative to start the group. Should you do so, please feel free to use my groups to market your group for job seekers.
As a reminder: I do have a group called Linking Job Seekers and a Twitter groups called "Job Seekers" (@JobSeekers)
"Linking Job Seekers have more power than job seekers who seek jobs, alone. By Linking Job Seekers, your connections help lift you up...

The Very BEST Day I've Had With Linkedin In A Long, Long Time!!! - Linking Eyes To Find Missing ChildrenIf, as an end user, I grant myself permission to criticize Linkedin for issues I truly have a problem with then, I should also grant myself permission to say a "Hallelujah!" or two for those things which make me feel good about Linkedin.
I feel good about Linkedin today...
Case in point: Even as a die-hard group creator, there is one group which means more to me than almost any other: Linking Eyes To Find Missing Children. I hope I don't need to tell you why this particular groups is so important but, just imagine the stress that a child is under when they don't have their familiar roots, processes, routines, people to turn to. I know first hand how challenging it is - even as an middle aged adult - to have your life, your routines uprooted. Familiar things ripped away from you... - Compounding that with prospective psychological and physical harm to the child and you can see the urgency of treating this as a matter worthy of the best attention of the best people.
No one can force us to look for these missing children but, if you and I love networking as much as we claim to, then it should disturb us into action when we realize how "un-networked" these missing children are. The more powerful our own networks the more we should be able to empathize with the powerlessness of the networks of these missing children.
Thus, as a professional networker I'm encouraged by the fact that, today, August 25, 2008, Linkedin Corporation approved my group "Linking Eyes To Find Missing Children". That, in and of itself, is good enough to make me feel quite good about Linkedin... *THAT satisfies *me*!
I'll explain more about why it was so meaningful to get this particular group up and running even in the midst of all the things going on with Linkedin Groups but, for now, I'd just like to make you aware of Linking Eyes To FInd Missing Children: http://www.linkedin.com/e/vgh/717967/

Creating A New Linkedin Account 8.16.2008In spite of much misgivings and in spite of still having no clear idea what really happened to the Linkedin relationship I *thought* I was working on, today, August 16, 2008, I opened another account on Linkedin.
Since my series of nano-posts on MyVirtualPowerForum.com were supposed to be *VERY* short, I'll keep this as Twitter-like as can be: I merely want the simplest possible professional relationship one can have with Linkedin. -
Thus, I intend to focus just on seeking and making professional introductions. In other words, using the Linkedin platform to help with my business, social, and career missions and with helping those who network with me to do the same. That's it. That's all. I know of no way to express it with any greater clarity of purpose than that. If you're ready for the future, so am . So, onward. Upward. Keep moving forward. And please try to keep getting STRONGER!
