Twitter just added Lead Generation to Twitter Cards, this could be big - The Next Web - 0 views

  • Twitter unveiled the Lead Generation Card today, a new expandable tweet format which allows users to show their interest in a particular discount or offer that’s being promoted by their favorite brand. When a user expands the tweet, they’ll see a description of the offer, as well a small button underneath that will allow them to instantly send their basic contact information – name, Twitter handle and email address – to the brand or business in question. All of the information is pre-filled within the Twitter Card based on the users’ existing account settings, thereby avoiding the often tedious process of filling out an online form. As soon as the button is clicked, the information is sent securely to the account that sent out the offer.

Who purchased 10 drinks faster for their free coffee? The 12-stamp cardholders, by three days.
  • motivation and performance slow down right after a goal is achieved
  • the solution is deliberate practice, the kind of intensely focused, introspective practice that results in mastery, expertise, and virtuosity. What’s fascinating about this kind of practice is that it doesn’t require that you drive yourself into the ground. The best violinists, for example, practice no more than four-and-a-half hours a day and otherwise prioritize rest and rejuvenation.
  • the critical factor of deliberate practice is intention. Your goal itself must be improvement--achieved through a combination of knowing your weaknesses, self-monitoring, analysis, study, and experimentation.
