Well it looks like the caveman has signed a deal with ABC making my attempt to copy and plagiarize GIECO’s advertising campaign moot.  I wanted so badly to have the caveman tapping away at his keyboard, making fun of Robert Scoble, linkbaiting, Digging, and perhaps even signing up to work for clamshells at PayPerPost!  How […]

A couple of weeks back, during the Sundance Film Festival, I posted on my personal blog about the movie Hounddog, starring Dakota Fanning.  The movie entered controversy in the film world because Ms. Fanning appeared in a rape scene that was shown.  As a father of a 7 year old daughter, you can imagine I […]

Robert Scoble says he can judge what the buzz will be in the blogosphere by counting the taps on a keyboard at an event. Adobe is presenting some very cool things, and the tapping is furious from Robert’s description. Why is it that I am blowing taps for Adobe? They are missing […]

Paul Scrivens on Wisdump has started (continued?) the conversation/meme that blog networks have failed:
All the blog networks after WIN and Gawker spent so much time trying to make something from little bits and pieces that they forgot to evaluate what might be important to them. You can build 100s of sites, but what does that […]

My partner Tris has been serving up softballs all week with his recent posts about the PayPerView and ReviewMe models of online marketing.

THE JOB: Blogger
THE PAY: Most self-employed bloggers take in between […]

I was looking through my email this morning and an article by eMarketer.com about what is working in online marketing.  The article goes into some details about what was done in 2005 and in 2006, but towards the end of the article, they provided an interesting graph about the results of their survey.

The ad spend for […]

No, this is not intended to be the title of a new social media press release, it merely goes to show how I felt today a I carried on three Skype chats with people from different corners of the globe.  It amazes me how the use of the Internet can grow a business from my […]

Here at OBO, Jim and I not only keep in touch all day via Skype, but we spend a lot of time reading feeds.  When I saw this Blaugh cartoon today, I just thought "welcome to my world".

I’m at 374 feeds according to Google Reader (I just checked).  This means that every morning there are […]
