Using Gravatar with Salesforce

November 21, 2013

This is pretty hacky, but with a bit of Javascript you can replace the default avatars for Contacts and Leads in your Salesforce account with Gravatars instead.

Here’s the script, and you’ll need to follow these instructions to get it loaded in Salesforce.

I’ve only tested this with the Salesforce account I have access to…no reason to think it won’t work for you too, but your mileage may vary.


<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>
<script>

Spoiler: We All Wear Pants

September 17, 2013
Leave a comment

The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work is a behind-the-scenes look at our company, Automattic, and its unique culture—it comes out today, and I really think you should read it.

It’s packed with great lessons for your business, but my recommendation is more self-serving: after nearly 3 years working at Automattic, I’d really prefer to never again have to explain that: 1) yes, we are a real company making real (and successful) products, and 2) despite working from home most days, I actually do wear pants (and I’m pretty sure my coworkers do too).

The Year Without Pants book cover
50 million websites, or twenty percent of the entire web, use WordPress software. The force behind WordPress.com is a convention-defying company called Automattic, Inc., whose 190 employees work from anywhere in the world they wish, barely use email, and launch improvements to their products dozens of times a day.

With a fraction of the resources of Google, Amazon, or Facebook, they have a similar impact on the future of the Internet. How is this possible? What’s different about how they work, and what can other companies learn from their methods?

To find out, former Microsoft veteran Scott Berkun worked as a manager at WordPress.com, leading a team of young programmers developing new ideas. The Year Without Pants shares the secrets of WordPress.com’s phenomenal success from the inside. Berkun’s story reveals insights on creativity, productivity, and leadership from the kind of workplace that might be in everyone’s future.

Office Space

My former employers at Mansueto Ventures (publishers of Inc. and Fast Company—not a shoe company or VC firm, as others have suggested the name implies) have a pretty sweet office. It’s so nice, in fact, that we often rented it out to TV and commercial producers for use as a set.

I spent about 10 minutes on YouTube and tracked down a handful of the spots that were filmed during my time there:

MediaSet, starring Hugh Laurie and Uma Thurman—my buddy Michael also caught House lounging on the couch that some of us used to nap on during all-night launches.

Fringe—shot in our boardroom.

Marriott—This was shot down the hall from my office; I heard that “smoothie” line about one hundred times that day.

Kit Kat—that’s a fake wall, for some reason.

I Can’t Believe This Is Really Happening

In celebration of the collaboration between Volcom and Yo Gabba Gabba!, Biz Markie, Wayne Coyne, Jack Black, Mark Mothersbaugh and Jon Heder alongside the Yo Gabba Gabba! characters Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee and Plex, got together to create a music video featuring an original song written and performed special for this magical coming together called “I Can’t Believe It’s Really Happening” performed by Biz and Wayne!

Yo Gabba Gabba! is one of those rare, bright spots of childrens’ entertainment that I actually enjoy just as much as my kids do. This is no accident, of course: Biz Markie and Mark Mothersbaugh have recurring segments on the show, and they regularly feature folks like The Flaming Lips, Mos Def, Amy Sedaris, etc. They even recently reunited one of my all-time favorite bands, Rocket From The Crypt, albeit for a totally goofy and forgettable song.

Also, a bit of trivia: RFTC‘s lead singer (and serial-band-starter) John Reis introduces every musical act on the show under his pseudonym, The Swami.

WordPress is the most powerful content management system in the world – today it powers just under 17% of the top one million websites in the world. Millions of people from across the globe turn to WordPress to build websites of all shapes and sizes and across all different categories.

Now that the political conventions are over and we have officially turned the corner towards the November election, WordPress.com VIP is proud to release this infographic which clearly shows that WordPress is now the backbone that powers websites from across the political spectrum.
