Google vs. Washington: Outlawing Competitive Advantage

Watching Google's Eric Schmidt testify before the Senate's was like watching a slightly awkward physicist attempting to explain quantum theory to a bunch of gorillas. Utah's own Mike Lee showed that he is worse at understanding the issues involved than Eric Schmidt is at explaining them. Meanwhile, Danny Sullivan nearly had a stroke listening to the Senators grandstanding as trust-busters, all while blatantly requesting favors from Google. For those who aren't familiar with the case, a number o... read more!

The Power of Social Media Marketing

I am an admitted geek for indie films, and I have long been a fan of Mark and Michael Polish. Needless to say, when I had the opportunity to screen the latest Polish Brothers' flick a few months ago, I was stoked. An homage to the French New Wave, For Lovers Only profiled two former loves who travel across France, rekindling their romance right where they'd left off years earlier. But that isn't what this post is about; as I've stated in several previous posts, I am a big fan of social media m... read more!

Teasing Visitor Traffic to Come Back

When you arrived on the home page you saw this: "Tomorrow is just another day. that you'll never forget.  Check back here tomorrow for an exciting announcement from iTunes." There were clocks with some of the major time zones at the bottom of the message detecti... read more!

Being Relevant: Why It's Important in Advertising

Every so often I see those ads out there that I really want to like. They have (almost) everything: they're witty; they're brilliantly shot; they have fantastic visuals... then the ad ends and I'm left wondering what they were selling. As you may know, Windows has unveiled their new smartphone, intended to serve as competition for big-selling counterparts, iOS and Android. At first glance, the ads are intriguing. They drew me in, and even as they made fun of me as a smartphone user, rathe... read more!
