We  are  dangerously  distracted.  

IF   YOU   HAD   100%   OF   MY   ATTENTION,   I   MIGHT  UNDERSTAND   WHAT   YOU   ARE   SAYING...   We   also   put  together  data  from  the  informa9on  we  already  have  about  you   and   your   friends.   For   example,   we   may   put   together  data  about  you  to  determine  which  friends  we  should  show  you  in  your  News  Feed  or  suggest  you  tag  in  the  photos  you  post.  We  may  put  together  your  current  city  with  GPS  and  other   loca9on   informa9on   we   have   about   you   to,   for  example,   tell   you  and  your   friends  about  people  or  events  nearby,  or  offer  deals   to   you   that   you  might  be   interested  in.  We  may  also  put   together  data  about  you  to  serve  you  ads  that  might  be  more  relevant  to  you.  When  we  get  your  GPS   loca9on,   we   put   it   together   with   other   loca9on  informa9on  we  have  about  you  (like  your  current  city).  But  we   only   keep   it   un9l   it   is   no   longer   useful   to   provide   you  services,  like  keeping  your  last  GPS  coordinates  to  send  you  relevant  no9fica9ons.                    BUT  YOU  DON’T,  AND  I  DON’T…

Everyone  is  curious  about  something.

Figure  out  what  people  care  about,  and  talk  in  those  terms.

Use  more  pictures  than  words.

Simple  and  honest  works  best.

Be  easy  to  recognize.

Help  people    share  with  their  friends.

If  their  comfort  zone  is  pink,  use  pink.

Know  what  you  stand  for.

Tell  a  lot  of  stories.

I  really  meant  it  about  the  pictures.
