Douglas Karr commented on Leah Barr's blog post 'Shallow Indiana (Sorry, but you disappoint me sometimes.)'
Leah, I'm not sure this is an Indiana problem, this is an American problem. Having lived in Arizona, Florida, Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut, I can attest that there are stupid, shallow people everywhere. There's no overabundance of them here...

That's a tough one, Robby. How does Google ensure the intent there? If you repeat Pat's content and Google can figure out that the original source or earliest posting of that content was a site, perhaps duplicate content should be used to reward t...

Douglas Karr replied to Pat Coyle's discussion 'Can Rupert Murdoch Really Hurt Google?'
Agreed. With so many businesses and site seeking great content, it makes also me wonder why newspapers don't do what they are truly great at... providing great content. Asking me to pay for a newspaper full of advertisements is one thing. But ask...

Hmmm... I'm not arguing whether or not we need serious journalists PK. Within the social media space, you'll find that I'm the rare advocate of professional journalism. I'm arguing that this move will hurt newspapers, not help them. I'm confident...

Douglas Karr commented on Todd Muffley's blog post 'MySpace is dead....the Prostitutes and MLM'ers have left...'
I'd like to agree but MySpace continues to have a stranglehold on the music industry. Facebook simply hasn't come up with a solution there and Twitter is not an alternative. From a personal social networking viewpoint, I agree that it's jumped the...

Doing Business with Horizon Property Group

Why I watch Fox News (and don't apologize for it)

So the Whitehouse wants to battle Fox News (again).

"...we should be clear that the institutions of democracy – free markets, a free press, a strong civil society – cannot be built overnight, and they cannot be built at the end of a barrel of a gun." Barack Obama


I'm not a Republican. I'm even liberal in some of my views of how government can help people.

An Open Letter to Indiana about Life Sciences

There's no doubt how important Roche and Eli Lilly are to our economy here in central Indiana. As well, I'm forever appreciative of the work these folks do and the impact it will have on the human race. I have friends at both companies and have helped them with their technology and social media strategies. I'm looking forward to seeing how technology will transform their industries.

That said, my next remarks are not meant to anger the industry... rather to promote a different one. Indiana - pl… Continue

Hello Douglas,
I joined Smaller Indiana when I got laid off this winter and started networking.
I have since received my real estate license and are also selling auto's for toyota. This site has helped a great deal.
If there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask.
See at the next event.

Hi Doug,

I briefly spoke with Pat last week about the new instant message widget that you integrated into the SI site. Is the widget itself something that was created specifically for the ning sites or is it free for all sites to use? I know Meebo just launched a new IM feature as a service, but would really like to integrate the feature into my non-ning site for free. Is there a way to do this?

Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks,

Arik Flanders

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
