Pocket Portfolio

1. I think these booklets are an amazing idea! Honestly, I never keep business cards and small books without too many words have always seemed novel to me. If I were presented with a pocket portfolio, I'd keep it and the photographer in mind because, already, even without seeing the pictures inside, they've shown me creativity and ingenuity as well as pride in their work.
2. This style is a good idea because it's automatically going to be thicker than business cards and, therefore, it physically sticks out among others. Also, you are giving people your work to look over and make opinions on that they can keep. You're not giving away free images and losing money because the pictures are too small, but they capture the essence of your work.
3. A disadvantage to these pocket portfolios is that you will most likely only pull a few clients from this form of advertisement. It sets you apart from other options, but there is no guarantee that these people will bite. In this sense, you could potentially lose a sum of money from developing these books, but it likely wouldn't be much if you end up pulling at least one client from it.
4. Yes, just like how you wouldn't share the details of a unique technique/image that you created or figured out yourself with others, you probably shouldn't share with the public your publisher for a creative idea that you came up with. He wanted to inspire others to think outside of the box and set up an opportunity for us to further our businesses, but it's not his responsibility to just hand it to us.
5. I mean, I personally didn't really feel like the title was misleading and I didn't expect a full how-to  on the subject, but since most people felt like they were given false hope, I suppose the blame would be on the website publisher. In the comments, the author explicitly stated that he did not come up with title, but that it was drafted by the website publisher. His goal was to get an idea out and the publisher should have made that idea clear in the heading, but, again, I really didn't feel betrayed by the headline.
6. I feel like most questions were completely relevant and appropriate to ask, as were most opinions (be it praise or criticism). Although, there was one comment in particular that tore up the article and essentially disrespected the entire idea. Because of the "trolling" age we live in, it's hard to tell if this person is just an educated prankster with a substantial vocabulary or if it is truly just a severely disgruntled snob. If anything, this commenter's point was just a fair bit off topic from the article.
