Honest question, can fishbowl actually help resolve and navigate the challenges, frustrations and realizations we face as an industry? Or more just a place to vent?

I've seen some purely hilarious entertaining threads on here, but honestly also some fairly insightful ones too. I think this app will be what make of it. I do hope we're able to laugh at ourselves in the process though. Worst thing is fishbowl becomes a LinkedIn with a bunch of self-promoting marketers... anyone say Gary V?? 😂

I can at least say that I've gotten some really solid feedback to the questions that I've asked. I don't think you need to take it so seriously tho. It's a place to chat with others in advertising whether that be crowdsourcing advice or laughing together. I'm not evaluating Facebook on its ability to improve the social fabric of the universe.

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Is there an online marketplace for SquareSpace portfolio templates, i.e., a place where you can buy a template, download it, then build it yourself? Alternatively, is there a place where I can hire someone to recommend a SquareSpace template, gussy up said template with type and/or color tweaks to make it less template-y (no functionality changes needed), and then design a simple logo? Looked at Squarespace Experts but seems a bit intense for what I need. Google isn't giving me much.
