A fun little article from Mark Cuban on the advancement of the “i like” button on FB. For me, this one came out of nowhere, right after “the poke” seemed to have hit its peak after morphing into cheersing, karate chopping or throwing sheep (my personal favorite). As I may have mentioned before, [...]

I was sitting in a Star Bucks in New Hampshire with a friend a few weeks ago and he kept talking about this book Rework by Jason Fried. He highly recommends it. I have added it to my list. In addition, I noticed this article today and the innovative design of an [...]

Thanks to Jeff Kinch for sharing this great article. I can’t tell you how many times I have banged my head against the desk trying to pitch to clients who are not ready, or don’t get it. When you have the clients who are ready, it becomes even more clear.

So after a busy few nights with commitments I finally got home and was able to do something fun, screw around with my Ipad. After a semi-frustrating recent experience of trying to figure out how to create a US Itunes account not using a credit card (because I don’t have a US one), I [...]

Sometimes its hard to tell if people are trying to be funny, mean, interesting, provocative or are just plain stupid or completely out of touch with reality. I know I get accused of being all of the above all the time.

I think in the age of collaborating and building grass root support, reaching out to your audience has never been more important. I find the the letter from Conan to (multiple audiences) the late night public to be a fascinating use of connection to your fans.
