This is very cool.  My partner Tris is live blogging this conference for the fine folks at Blog World Expo.  While I’m watching and keeping up with the event sessions as live blogged by Rick and Tris, I am able to watch it live streamed via Jeremiah Owyang’s Ustream.tv page.  In addition, I was able [...]

It is being widely reported, or actually Twittered, that DoubleClick has been purchased by Google for $3.1 Billion today.  That is a significant sum, and I think a good purchase by Google.  Tris and I both contribute to Business Blog Consulting, owned by Rick Bruner.  Rick works at DoubleClick and we congratulate him on the [...]

It has been nearly 2 years since Shel Israel posted his interview with Donna Tocci, and I also posted on this blog about the Tocci interview.  Now it seems that after this lengthy period, Kryptonite has decided to launch a blog.  I want to thank Shel for posting about their new blog.
This company as many [...]

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 [...]

One thing about those of us in the socia media sphere is that we’re often accused of being drunk on the Kool-Aid.  Sure blogs, podcasts, social networks, and video are cool, but are real companies into them?  Turns out, yeah they are.  A study done by folks at UMass (link to PDF of the report) [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
