We’re beaming over here with new clients, super-interesting research and incredible partners lining up to make 2010 a banner year already. And over Twitter today we announced, “We can see clearly now, another new national client!”
Often people ask: “But Feedback, how come you don’t trumpet every new client or have a giant client list clearly displayed on your website?”
The answer is simple: It’s not about us. We generally don’t publicize our clients because often we are working behind the scenes. We have all sorts of relationships with agencies, firms, consultants and even a few direct clients. And while with some we are incredibly visible, in others we’re not. In our company’s life so far we have worked with a roster of national and international clients as well as firms of all shapes and sizes (located in major cities around the US as well as many here in our home state of Virginia). We have taken on many different industries such as healthcare, automotive, education, craft brewing, technology, incredibly localized communities and more. We’re able to share some names and will if you’re interested, just drop us an email (contact at feedbackagency.com) or call (804-893-3437). But for now we’ll just be us engaging with all of you on here thankyouverymuch.
All that said, every now and then we’ll tease out some good vibes as we grow. The great thing is, this wasn’t even the only good news this week. We’d like to thank all of our amazing partners, friends, fans and followers as well as warn them: Hold onto your hats, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

The New Facebook Profile: Updated Look & Some New Friends
by FeedbackTonight Facebook will debut an entirely new Facebook Profile during an interview on 60 Minutes (which explains why Facebook was weirdly encouraging all Facebook users to watch the show late in the week).
The update itself is a welcome overhaul of the look of the basic profile, drawing the viewer into a more image-related experience (such as your favorite authors rendered as their Page icons rather than words – thankfully you can edit the priority of the images shown now, not just a random sample of “Liked” elements as before).
It also brings a few new tricks – or at least tricks new to Facebook that might remind you of a few other social sites. One such feature: “Highlighting” your top connections. As they say themselves:
Sounds an awful lot like MySpace’s Top 8, eh? I can imagine the arguments already as we shuffle our best friends, kids, spouses and drinking buddies in a furious drive to avoid conflicts…
This “highlighting” comes from a tweak to the Friends List feature, allowing you to share your Friend Lists more like Twitter Lists. This makes your curated personal lists to potentially become a way for you to find similar interests, people, etc. (The new Facebook List features are well profiled at the blog Stayi N’ Alive.) Of course, you can never share your Lists and there’s a bevy of privacy controls to go with the new options.
There are lost of other smaller changes. My particular favorite is the “Projects” you can add under your employers – drawing attention to what you’ve worked on and who with, giving an interesting kind of due and credit to a particular idea or execution.
