Tris and I have been Skyping back and forth about the latest post by Kathy Sierra where she discusses death threats among other things that have recently surfaced.  At first I was so shocked I didn’t have words, then I was pissed, and yes I don’t often get pissed.  As I read through the post, [...]

I was reading on GigaOM, that Michael Gartenberg didn’t last at Microsoft and has returned to his rightful (writeful?) place at Jupiter Research which to me seems odd.  Even I can last a little longer than a week at a job.  It takes me that long to remember where the washroom is and where they [...]

It has been irritating me all day like a piece of popcorn caught between my teeth.  No matter how much I ignore the issue it doesn’t seem to go away.  I am of course talking about the now well known email from Ted Murphy, to Gawker Media’s ever popular site Gizmodo.  At first I thought [...]

I have heard Robert Scoble a couple of times this week say that at Microsoft they did research that showed that 3% of people out there went beyond page 1 of search results in their searches performed.  This can be very scary if you are a small business and want to gain customers on the [...]

As we discussed earlier as our client Freight and Shipping, Inc., has used their new blog marketing program to increase their organic search, more and more companies are using the new social marketing as a way to increase their SEO and the marketing campaigns they are implementing.  Jennifer Jones at Podtech.net has a great interview [...]

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 [...]

This is really a rhetorical question, you know what I’m going to say already, of course.  I talked a bit about PPP and our own B4H last week, recently though I’ve been thinking about the companies who have chosen PPP as their path to blog buzz nirvanna and whether they would be better off just [...]

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 [...]
