Comments on: Kernel Dump for November (and Aug and Sept and Oct) http://www.scrollinondubs.com/2006/12/01/kernal-dump-for-november-and-aug-and-sept-and-oct/ Sean Tierney's Blog Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:58:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: sean_tierne2149 http://www.scrollinondubs.com/2006/12/01/kernal-dump-for-november-and-aug-and-sept-and-oct/comment-page-1/#comment-386431 sean_tierne2149 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:22:00 +0000 http://67.106.82.230/2006/12/01/kernal-dump-for-november-and-aug-and-sept-and-oct/#comment-386431 Roy, I stopped pursuing this effort in October. We were getting minor benefit from it but the ROI for the time invested just wasn't there. With better keyword filtering I believe this technique could have been refined and made to work. As it stands in this form it's a good deal of work to do it right (sifting through hundreds of tweets to find the one or two that you can really help). The other issue is that a few people thought what we were doing was spammy. I can semi-understand their complaint (although expressing an issue on Twitter and having random people chime in to help is kindof the point...). Regardless, this issue coupled with the fact we just have bigger fish to fry led to my discontinuation of this practice.

I had St. Vincent dePaul come and pick up the stuff I didn't sell. For $10 they'll take everything you have including clothes, furniture and computer stuff.
