More leads out.<\/p>\n<p>My Duck9 co-founder, Matt Smith, mentored me by saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s not just quality of content it&#8217;s also quantity of content&#8221;. Smith said that when we were talking to three Lincoln Park trixies at some six corner bar in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>He started Complaints dot com and did not have messy VC interactions the way that ePinions did. He self funded. Epinions got recapped. I digress, yes, but you should self-fund yourself (Graph Plus can help YOU SELF FUND YOURSELVES!!) See how many pages of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.complaints.com\" >www.complaints.com<\/a> has been crawled and cached on The Google. Massive cache and crawls.<\/p>\n<p>##### FTC DISCLOSURE #### Danny Sullivan is my search mentor. He blogs genius shitake.<\/p>\n<p>I read and financially benefit from reading his writings on the World Wide Web. ### END FTC DISCLOSURE ###<\/p>\n<p>Well, The Facebook now rewards you for data that you slapped in and uploaded via HTML9 via you Steve Jobs iPhone9.<\/p>\n<p>-2- Conversion by Association<\/p>\n<p>Try searching for &#8220;Larry Chiang entrepreneur party SXSW&#8221; using graph search. You get gobs on entrepreneurs who are engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Association is by nature guilt. In this case, you&#8217;re not guilty of a criminal act but likely to convert on and in to what you associate with.<\/p>\n<p>-3- Parties Have Lasting Momentum<\/p>\n<p>In the old days the launch party was done after the last drinks of open bar was consumed. By old days I mean 1999 when I was like 15.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with Graph Search, your launch party can live on and convert the uninitiated. Your pictures, check-ins, newsfeeds, notes, pokes?, and photos can now convert those that search. But never attended. What I mean to show you is that parties work and live forever inside of Facebook graph search.<\/p>\n<p>I said photos twice because a properly tagged photo with links is deadly awesome and helps you, the entrepreneur, with lead generation.<\/p>\n<p>LeadGen!!!<\/p>\n<p>Gawd, I love leadGen.<\/p>\n<p>-4- LeadGen at Spring Break<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m using Graph Search to leadGen sorority girls at Spring Break 2013 BEFORE one drop of suntan lotion gets massaged on and rubbed in.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s call it a &#8220;Stanford Business Live-Action Case Execution and Pattern Replication&#8221;.  It is a sequel to Stanford Engineering Live Action Business Case Studies which I wrote about here on AlwaysOn HERE<\/p>\n<p>-5- LeadGen Using Graph Search for CS Major Pre-Founders<\/p>\n<p>I see you VCs trolling my Facebook pictures at the Stanford Rose Bowl party week where I hosted four entrepreneur events. Well, now my method of lead generation works even better and harder and more because the Facebook friend information is neatly organized and searchable.<\/p>\n<p>Get used to Facebook Graph Search.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time you used Facebook to document the entrepreneur parties you go to, host and crash and produce.<\/p>\n<p>END ALWAYS ON ARTICLE<\/p>\n<p>ENGR145&#8217;s Anchor Concept: Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole<\/p>\n<p>It moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve<\/p>\n<p><embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/eudADPfTWiE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/n5jB310egEI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/BMyLcDaWazU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CEO of Duck9 Stanford University Entrepreneur in Residence, Emeritus<\/p>\n<p>Duck9 = &#8220;Deep Underground Credit Knowledge&#8221; 9 125 University Avenue\/ 100 Palo Alto CA 94301 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass\" >https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass<\/a> 650-566-9600 650-566-9696 (direct) 650-283-8008 (cell)<\/p>\n<p>**************** Editor of the BusinessWeek Channel &#8220;What They Don&#8217;t Teach at Business School&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\" >https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog<\/a> CNN Video Channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang\" >https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read my last 10 tweets at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang\" >https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author, NY Times Bestseller <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller\" >https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What They Will NEVER Teach You at Stanford Business School&#8221; comes out 11-11-14<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049\" >https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049<\/a><\/p>\n<p>52 Cards.
