New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com ! There’s a reason you don’t talk to people for 25 years. Because you don’t particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn. New Rule: Don’t eat anything that’s served to you […]

If markets are conversations. And they are. You have to engage in the conversation. Why? To guide the direction of the market. To put a face on your company. To be real. To get better noticed by search engines (both evil and non-evil). To know what customers and competitors are saying about you. To correct […]

It really really does. I have been blogging for over six months. I have about 100 posts. I manually ping the big T every time I post. The big T says I have not updated my blog in 190 days. Ugg… wrong. I have tried to follow the rather vague instructions to claim my blog […]

Jack is my son. He is six. He is addicted to his PS2. It is the first thing he wants to do when he gets home form school (homework comes first). He tries to sneak to the playroom to get in extra minutes first thing in the morning. Literally goes through withdrawals when we make […]

It has been about two weeks since I have posted. I have been paying attention to some things that are most likely not very interesting to anybody but me. The one is some consulting work that I have been doing for AdLine. During the second half of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 I […]

EarthLink today announced that they are launching “DSL & Home Phone Service” Pretty catchy name. Netcom would have been better and followed recent practice.

I am not talking about The Ohio State University. Though after watching Notre Dame play Georgia Tech I will venture that the Irish are not the second best team in the land. I am talking about Atlanta, GA being the most wired city in the US of A. Pretty kewl.

Google launched “Google Apps for Your Domain” today. Catchy name. Rolls right off the tongue. Goolge Apps With your Domain would have been better. At least you could shorten it to GAWD. The folks at Google need to take another look at the presentation Seth Godin gave to them a while back. To quote him […]

I think it all started with Odeo. The star device in the logo thing. Now they are shooting all over the place with PopSugar, Fanpop, and FavoriteThingZ. Not to be outdone Flock has the Flockstars and their t-shirts. If this keeps up pretty soon we will have a whole galaxy. Somebody should do a planet […]

Boingo just raised $65 million. Bringing their total to date to $90 million. I had heard that something was in the works but that sure is a lot of money. I am having a hard time seeing a 10x return on that. But what do I know?
