Share any Email Message in Gmail with the Outside World

30 Apr 2013 Tech Blog » Internet » Bookmarklets » GMail » Web Design » Share any Email Message in Gmail with the Outside World With Scope, you can view the formatted HTML source of any message inside Gmail, it cleans them up removing the unnecessary style tags and you can publish the message as a public web page.

Have you ever receieved an email message and wondered how they created such a nice layout inside an email message? What fonts and colors were used in the message body? How was the email signature created?

You can always look at the HTML source of an email message manually and it will lay bare all the elements and formatting that were used to write that message but there’s an even better and non-techie way. It’s called Scope.

Scope is essentially a bookmarklet that will extract the source code of an email message, cleans the HTML and formats the source for easy reading. Scope currently works for Gmail but support for Yahoo Mail and Outlook.com is coming.

Email Message Source

There’s another good utility of Scope for those who aren’t really interested in the design aspect of their email messages.

The service can help you share any email message in your mailbox – like this one from Twitter – with a click and this can be a good alternative to traditional email forwards.

Open any email message inside Gmail and click the Scope bookmarklet. The app will convert that email message into a public web page that you can share with the outside world.

The URLs are automatically masked from the shared email message but you may even hide any other confidential details from the message – like the email addresses or phone numbers – before making it public.

The public URLs for your shared email messages will remain active for 15 days. The service is free though you would have to verify your email address before sharing any email message.

Thank God (and Al Gore) for the Internet! Every now and then I come across something online that just thrills me and reminds me why I absolutely LOVE living in the 21st century. When an email appeared in my inbox last night from my dad, I had no idea I was about to discover one of those things.

Game of Thrones fans, prepare to have your minds blown.

An Israeli DJ, who goes by "DJ Rozroz," mashed up "A Song of Fire and Ice" (the theme from Game of Thrones) with "A Man's World," sung by James Brown.

Yesterday the video had 7,000 views. Today it is up to 25,000. I'll spare you from my opinions on why this is a perfect, case-study-worthy example of how artists can tap into existing communities via social media to reach massive audiences. And I will instead mention some of my thoughts on why this mix is so beautiful and interesting.

To some, these songs might seem like an unlikely pair. To me, it's as if they were made for each other. Musically and melodically, the two songs are mesmerizingly complimentary. I just love it. But it is actually the message of it all that seems perfectly, almost eerily preordained.

"It's a man's world, but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl."

In Game of Thrones, it is a man's world -- or so the men think. It is men who conceive of wars, it is men who fight those wars, kill people, rob, steal, vie for power, and strive for the Iron Throne. Yet, in this man's world that is Game of Thrones, beneath all the power struggles that divide each kingdom, there are far more dangerous forces taking root that will render men's power struggles trivial -- at most. And as those forces take root over the rest of this seasons and those that follow, it seems as though only one woman, Daenerys "Stormborn" Targaryen aka Khaleesi, might have what it takes to save the realm from total destruction.

James Brown's voice echoes hauntingly over the Game of Thrones musical backdrop, reminding us all of an often-forgotten truth -- that while it may seem like a man's world, and while men may think it's a man's world, this world would be nothing without women.

It will end up being a woman who saves the world from destruction in Game of Thrones. And if I were a betting man, I'd say that it will be a woman, or women, who too will save our world from destruction. When women, all women, reclaim their rights, realize their power, re-chart our societal course, rethink our collective values and perceptions of one another, and remind the rest of us of something quite commonsense -- that nothing is more important than life, love and liberty -- then, our world, like the fictional realm in Game of Thrones, will have a fighting chance.

How Copywriting Can Change the World

Copywriting can change the world and make it a better place.


What? Isn't copywriting all about money?

All about consumerism? How can copywriting do anything but sell stuff?

Well, the answer is YES, copywriting is about SELLING things...but it CAN SELL IDEAS too.

Think about it for a second. Doesn't a charity NEED good copy? Doesn't the RED CROSS or RED CRESCENT need GOOD COPY to get their message out?

Sure, copywriters are business people, but they are also human-beings who have things and causes they care about.

If you are a copywriter, why not take your skills now and then and offer your services FREE of CHARGE to a worthy cause or organization.

That's what doctors and nurses do now and then, they volunteer their skills in under served places in the world on a temporary basis.

So that is my thought and challenge to copywriters: Now and then, do some FREE WORK for a worthy cause or organization. Help the group you support to get their message out...or to raise funds.

As a copywriter you have some pretty unique and valuable skills.

Now and then (not always because you need to work to live) use your skills to help others.

Copywriting can change the world for the better...a little bit at a time.

Thoughts?

Rocky

World Trade Center Bombing: Lessons From '93 On Extremist Threat

NEW YORK -- It had to be an accident.

Though hard to imagine now, that was the prevailing theory moments after an explosion rocked the World Trade Center around noon on a chilly Feb. 26, 1993.

The truth – that a cell of Islamic extremists had engineered a car-bomb attack that killed six people, injured more than 1,000 and caused more than a half-billion dollars in damage – "was incomprehensible at the time," recalled FBI agent John Anticev.

On the eve of the 20-year anniversary of the bombing, Anticev and other current and former law enforcement officials involved in the case reflected on an event that taught them tough lessons about a dire threat from jihadists. That threat, now seared into the city's psyche because of the Sept. 11 attacks, felt vague and remote two decades ago.

"In those days, terrorism wasn't the first reaction," said former federal prosecutor David Kelley.

The scale of the attack was the first dramatic demonstration that "terrorism is theater and New York is the biggest stage," said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

A two-time commissioner, Kelly was serving his first stint when the initial report that came in to police that day that there was an apparent transformer explosion at the trade center.

Kelly raced to the scene, where the bomb planted in a parked Ryder van had left a crater half the size of a football field in the trade center garage. For the first time since it opened in 1973, the trade center stood in the darkness that night.

"I remember seeing this tremendous sea of first-responder vehicles ... and smoke was coming out," Kelly said.

The commissioner gathered with other police and federal officials in a nearby hotel conference room to assess the damage. The meeting didn't last long because an engineer warned "the floor could collapse at any time," Kelly said.

A day later, after a utility mishap was ruled out, authorities "started to come to the conclusion it was bomb," Kelly said.

Anticev and other FBI agents were initially assigned to pursue rumors that the twin towers may have been attacked in retaliation for the U.S. bombing of Serbia. But the probe took a dramatic turn after investigators found a vehicle identification number on a piece of the blown-up van.

Investigators later learned that the renter of the van wanted to get his deposit back after reporting it stolen – a break that sounded too good to be true.

"I was betting he wouldn't show up," said Kelley.

The renter, Mohammed Salameh, indeed appeared to demand his deposit about a week after the blast.

When Anticev heard Salameh's name, "I really almost started to cry," the agent recalled.

His dismay was well-earned. He had long been watching Salameh and other radical Muslims in the FBI's investigation of the assassination of Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane at a Manhattan hotel.

The FBI knew the men had practiced together shooting guns and assembling pipe bombs. But in the summer of 1992, investigators lost an informant who possibly could have warned of the more ambitious plot, Anticev said.

A pipe-bomb attack "was as big a plot as we thought they were capable of," he said.

In hindsight, Anticev believes agents were "too Western" in their attempts to neutralize the budding terrorists before they struck.

He described using tough interrogation tactics that would have spooked ordinary criminals – obtaining subpoenas and bringing them in for questioning in rooms where they purposely displayed surveillance photos of them on the wall.

"We thought they would be chilled by that experience," he said. "But it was like water off a duck's back. That did not scare them at all. They just did it anyway. ... That was a big lesson."

Kelly believes because the suspects were quickly rounded up, in some circles they "were written off as this inept group of zealots," Kelly said. "It was not seen was not seen as the global conspiracy it turned out to be."

The probe of the attack led to convictions of Salameh and three other men and the later the capture Ramzi Yousef, the leader of the attack. Investigators learned that the highly educated Yousef had tried to detonate the car bomb in way that would cause countless casualties by toppling one of the towers into the other and bringing them down like giant dominos, and watch with disappointment from the banks of the Hudson River in New Jersey when it didn't happen.

Yousef is the nephew of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Even after Yousef was found guilty in a Manhattan courtroom and put away for life, "we really didn't know what was ahead," said Kelley, who was part of the prosecution team. "This was before everybody was on to bin Laden."

Police Commissioner Kelly remembered that in 1993, while surveying the destruction in the underground garage, an engineer told him that the buildings would never come down.

"On Sept. 11," Kelly said, "the thought of that came back to me."

Tulane University Sent False Information To U.S. News & World Report For College Rankings

Tulane University sent false information for at least two years to U.S. News & World Report for the magazine's college ranking consideration, the university disclosed last month.

Tulane informed U.S. News in December that officials had discovered its A.B. Freeman School of Business misreported "average GMAT scores for full-time MBA students entering in fall 2011 and the total number of applicants." Tulane said the school had misreported a batch of data from the fall of 2010 and possibly in earlier years as well.

Tulane's MBA program was ranked 43rd in U.S. News' 2013 college rankings.

"We deeply regret that this occurred," Ira Solomon, dean of the A.B. Freeman School of Business, said in a statement. "The checks and balances we have implemented will provide assurance that this will not happen again."

According to U.S. News, the New Orleans-based university is investigating and will release a public report in mid-January.

The Times-Picayune reports Tulane noticed test scores and the number of applicants this year "skewed lower than the previous two years" as it was preparing information about its MBA program to send to U.S. News. Solomon said since the school's standards and admissions criteria have not changed, "this raised a concern that our data from previous years had been misreported."

A few other institutions fabricated data submitted to U.S. News in 2012. George Washington University lost its ranking after the school disclosed it had inflated admissions data for more than a decade.

Emory University and Claremont McKenna College also sent false information to U.S. News in hopes of improving their standings in the highly influential college rankings. After disclosing the misinformation, U.S. News ultimately decided the errors didn't warrant a change in those schools' rankings.
