Traditional vs. Social Media Marketing Campaigns: Round 1

July 31, 2009 – 9:41 am

I had an intriguing conversation the other day with an acquaintance. We were discussing traditional marketing and branding campaigns in relation to those [...]

Google: *Thee* Social Network

July 31, 2009 – 12:59 am

First let me say that this shoe will now represent all of the times I’m writing about a subject that I’m confused about. That is because this shoe literally has a Gameboy in it. It also has a Pokemon in it. I think that’s all of the explanation you need in order for me [...]

IMC: A Juggling Act?

July 29, 2009 – 11:21 pm

The other day I met with Lou, President of ValueStar, a customer ratings and reviews service from confirmed customers. (Disclosure: personal acquaintance).
The directory service provides companies (such as Company XYZ) the opportunity to have Company XYZ’s previous customers rate their experience on ValueStar’s Web site. This service varies from other social network rating systems, because [...]

You know what really grinds my gears? Twitter Followers.

July 22, 2009 – 8:54 pm

Shoe: Ninja Shoes.
Note: This post is a rant.Okay. Not a rant, per se. But moreorless a semi-rant that may make you think I need to take a kickboxing class. Which I can’t take because of my knee. So if you’re suggesting I tear my ACL again in exchange for getting a bit of  anger out, [...]

Major League Baseball Tryouts

July 22, 2009 – 2:11 am

Shoe: Cleats
Over the weekend, I ran into a friend of mine, Noah (disclaimer: my sister’s friend).While we were catching up, he told me about his recent try-outs for Major League Baseball.
No shit, ya’all.

Fractures, Feet and Crocks, Oh my!

July 21, 2009 – 10:21 pm

Shoe: Crocks

So here’s the story: I fractured my foot [...]

If this arm were a GPS, it would be *my* GPS. It’s just that broken.

July 20, 2009 – 12:23 pm

My GPS busted a few weeks ago on the way to a lunch with Patrick Ashamalla from A Brand New Way. Needless to say, locating the office via Blackberry while driving was interesting.

Finally, I get around to calling the GPS company to see what we can do to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, when we have products [...]
