September 2011 Dear Starbucks Friend and Fellow Citizen: I love our country. And I am a beneficiary of the promise of America. But today, I am very concerned that at times I do not recognize the America that I love. Like so many of you, I am deeply disappointed by the pervasive failure of leadership in Washington. And also like you, I am frustrated by our political leaders' steadfast refusal to recognize that, for every day they perpetuate partisan conflict and put ideology over country, America and Americans suffer from the combined effects of paralysis and uncertainty. Americans can't find jobs. Small businesses can't get credit. And the fracturing of consumer confidence continues. We are better than this. Three weeks ago, I asked fellow business leaders to join me in urging the President and the Congress to put an end to partisan gridlock and, in its place, to set in motion an upward spiral of confidence. More than 100 business leaders representing American companies - large and small - joined me in signing a two-part pledge: First, to withhold political campaign contributions until a transparent, comprehensive, bipartisan debt-and-deficit package is reached that honestly, and fairly, sets America on a path to long-term financial health and security. Second, to do all we can to break the cycle of economic uncertainty that grips our country by committing to accelerate investment in jobs and hiring. In the weeks since then, I have been overwhelmed by the heartfelt stories of Americans from across the country, sharing their anguish over losing hope in the strongest and most galvanizing force of all - the American Dream. Some feel they have no voice. Others feel they no longer matter. And many feel they have been left behind. We cannot let this stand. Please join other concerned Americans and me on a national call-in conversation on Tuesday September 6th hosted by "No Labels," a nonpartisan organization dedicated to fostering cooperative and more effective government. To learn more about the forum and the pledges, visit www.upwardspiral2011.org America is at a fragile and critical moment in its history. We must restore hope in the American Dream. We must celebrate all that America stands for around the world. And while our Founding Fathers recognized the constructive value of political debate, we must send the message to today's elected officials in a civil, respectful voice they hear and understand, that the time to put citizenship ahead of partisanship is now. Yours is the voice that can help ignite the contagious upward spiral of confidence that our country desperately needs. With great respect, chief executive officer, Starbucks Coffee Company

While it was big news that Facebook went down for users today, it appears Facebook was attempting to roll out changes to "Pages." The version of profiles largely used by brands, business and celebrities. These changes occurred suddenly around 12:15pm PST today. What changed?
1) Pages more closely matched the new profile design - this meant tabs disappeared
(Question: what about default tabs used for new fans and Facebook ads? Is the correct landing page still displayed?)
2) Ability to "Login As Page" appeared on the page profile you're an admin of.
3) Logging in "as page" updates homepage with newsfeed of that page (with option to view "Favorite Pages" feed) and the notifications window shows all recent notifications for that page you are logged in as. You have the ability to "Like" posts on your page as the page.
4) Ability to quickly switch accounts from the "Account" drop-down in the Facebook header
As of approx. 1:50pm PST Facebook is back up and running after going completely down. All of the changes witnessed above have been reverted.
I would highly advise Facebook to reach out to Page admins and owners and inform them of the updates they are attempting to make. When it comes to brand pages and Facebook ads there is $$$ involved and it's not right to surprise these brands with sudden changes and missing functionality.

Make our escape, you’re my own papillon.
The world turns too fast, feel love before it’s gone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
My papillon, feel love when it’s shone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling, now don’t put down your guns yet.
if there really was a God here,
He’d have raised a hand by now.
Now darling, you’re born, get old and die here.
Well, that’s quite enough for me dear.
We’ll find our own way home somehow.
No sense of doubt or what you could achieve.
Well, I’ve found you out, I’ve seen the life you wish to leave,
But when it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.
Darling, now just don’t put down your guns yet.
If there really was a God here,
He’d have raised a hand by now.
Now darling, well, you’re born, get old and die here.
Well that’s quite enough for me, dear.
We’ll find our own way home somehow.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

So a couple weeks ago @ONEHOPEWine was graced with #NewTwitter. Shortly after receiving #NewTwitter we played with the theming and noticed the theme settings affect your Twitter profile a little differently than before. In #NewTwitter changing the text color adjusts the text color on the right sidebar, which is a dark grey color. So we set the text to #FFFFFF (White) and enjoyed the results. However, about a week later we noticed differences for those logged out of Twitter and not viewing the @ONEHOPEWine profile in #NewTwitter - all of the text on our profile feed was now white on a white background, inconsistent with what we saw in #NewTwitter.
Dear Twitter, can we please fix this? And let this serve as a heads up to anyone playing with the theming in #NewTwitter.

You think anyone is going to shift through that? It's a mess. Pointless. I can think of numerous ways this could be better off the top of my head.
