Most Monday posts are serious, well thought out discourses that people put a lot of time into over the weekend. But not here! Let’s get it in gear with a Monday Lightning Round. Responses in the comments!

1. What product can you absolutely not live without?
2. What one word describes that product?
3. If you were in charge of your brand/company/product, what’s the first thing you’d do?

Go!

    1. The one product i cannot live without is, without question, my hair product. Although this may read as a joke, my hair product and I have a relationship that has “outshined” and outlasted any piece of technology attached to my hip or hidden in my fifth pocket.

    2. The only word that I will allow to describe or follow this product is Gorgeous…and sometimes Bananas.

    3. Get head shots and make t-shirts. The packaging is decent and the brand already has a cult following without much presence online.

    4. Plastic.

    5. If you ask the tech and marketing gurus, then absolutely. Its ease of use, and the ability for full conversation make it appealing as text messaging. But to the rest of the world, the chance to have your thoughts revealed to the world is still risky.

  • 1. What product can you absolutely not live without?

    My MacBook

    2. What one word describes that product?

    Lifestream

    3. If you were in charge of your brand/company/product, what’s the first thing you’d do?

    Already in charge

    4. Paper or Plastic?

    Paper. Even though plastic has more household uses and doesn’t tear as easily.

    5. Will Twitter ever catch on with the mainstream?

    Hard to tell. And maybe not in its current form.

  • 1) iPod touch
    2) Media
    3) Allow the SDK developer kit to work on PCs
    4) Neither – however if I must choose I’d go with plastic and re-use constantly
    5) Not the mainstream, however I see Twitter almost like the “always changing away message” – In college it seemed that everyone wanted to change their away message to show what they’re doing – which now we have Twitter to do this.

  • 1) hairdryer
    2) volume
    3) website
    4) plastic
    5) no

  • 1. Cell phone
    2. Communication
    3. Allow our customers to tell us what they need, instead of trying to tell them what they need.
    4. Are we talking about money? Plastic. Are we talking about bags at the grocery store? Neither, I use reusable ones (well, when I remember…).
    5. Hard to say. Probably not.

  • 1.) Sharpie
    2.) Uneraseable
    3.) Listen
    4.) Paper, it smells better when on fire
    5.) What comes from Twitter, maybe to the masses a little. Twitter itself, doubtful.

  • 1. iPhone
    2. Connection
    3. Tweet about it
    4. Plastic
    5. I hope not. There are too many crazies, stalkers and losers in “the mainstream.” If Twitter’s community ends up looking like MySpace, for instance, that would blow. But by then, our little herd will have moved on to some new green patch of the Internet.

  • 1. GPS
    2. GPS
    3. I am in charge, I’m going for coffee
    4. Paper, easier for me to recycle
    5. It will, but then it will suck.
