big viral/little viral
A couple friends of mine have started a really cool thing over at CantWaitForChristmas.com. It’s even cooler for me because I have a general sense of who is posting despite the fact that most people only give a first name.
Conversely, there is a Facebook group which grew to over 1.6 million people in 48 hours. […]
counting
It’s a popular thing to do. The web has made it even more so. So is there any difference between counting down and counting up?
Counting down to zero builds anticipation and anxiety. Then again, counting down is only important to people who value the climax (0) to begin with.
Counting up suggests you are building something. […]
you’re interfaceless and i won’t stand for it!
‘Twas having ye ole Blackberry vs. iPhone discussion with a colleague (he’s down with the Berry) when he made the statement:
“Really though… the Blackberry is better in every way. The iPhone is just an interface.”
Yes. Yes it is I thought.
And while an interface - an element of design - is not a sustainable competitive advantage, […]
how can you lose?
[Sorry for the re-post… I’m having formatting wars with my theme]
How can you lose when someone as animated (pun intended) and charismatic as Seth MacFarlane is on your side? The WGA has a great case. I particularly like it when Seth compares what they do to the musician or the novelist. At this point, it […]
making the martyr
This effectively makes the entire internet illegal.
As a two-bit pickpocket in a world of pirates, TV-Links may have just hit the PR jackpot. I’d be hiring a campaign manager with my one phone call if I was them.
when?
I just want to know when the world will wake up to this. All I ever read about is how we can’t focus, we can’t stick to the program, we can’t commit to a system. They say we create rules arbitrarily. They wonder why we can’t separate work from the rest of our lives.
The reason […]
education gets lots amongst the bright lights
Moving from the world of advertising into the world of digital education, I’m motivated to help this basic human right become just as sexy a proposition as being the most trafficked blog, or the facebooker with the most friends.
system access fees
This kind of thing makes me want to leave business altogether. Please sign the petition (even if the majority of the settlement ends up in the legal firm’s pockets). It’s a matter of principle. Oh, and join the Facebook Group too.
Why does it always feel like a battle for which “service” provider can provide the […]
innovation is relative
After Apple, everything is relative. Say hello to DELL’s answer to the MacBook:
Now say hello to Bell/Samsung’s answer to the iPhone (and the BlackBerry 8800 and TELUS’ My Faves and ROGERS featuring MySpace even though someone should have told them Facebook dominates the Canadian market):
If you’re this far from the market leader, maybe it’s time […]
what’s in a word?
Grant and I will be facing off in the 1% Army showdown very soon. In an ironic twist (although some might not call it irony, so you’ll just have to trust me), I’ve got a bit of an itch about dropping the word “marketing” from lexicons everywhere.
Maybe it’s just semantics, but I don’t think any […]
