  • Lose the Phone; Get Creative

    New Tech City has paired with the phone app Moment to help people rethink your relationship with your tech and is developing a Bored and Brilliant project to “help you detach from your phone and spend more time thinking creatively.”

  • Important Facebook Changes And Why You Should Care

    In an effort to become the center of the social hub and violate your privacy (which, incidentally, Facebook doesn’t believe in anyway), Facebook made some interesting changes recently to…well, nearly everything. As a marketer and, more importantly, your friend, I just want to point a few things out that may be of interest to you.…

  • Friday Frivolity – Google Roommate

    With all of the exciting things being released from Google recently, including the convoluted, yet promising Google Wave, the experimental organized search-relevancy tool that is Google Squared, and the promise of Chrome on Mac and Linux, Google is certainly making strides to bury the release of Microsoft’s search engine Bing continue to be the a…

  • Friday Frivolity – Twitter Frenzy

    I tweet. You tweet. Who doesn’t tweet? Well, a lot of people, that’s who. While cool tools like Twitter are great instruments (hat tip, Shannon Paul) with a lot of fantastic uses, it’s good to remember that, despite the fact that your Tweetdeck is giving you a constant window into the Twitterverse – and all…

  • Blog Scrapers Imagine a Magical Concern

    Since there have been blogs, there have been people who steal your content. I’m not taking about borrowing your thoughts or words under a Creative Commons license, I’m talking about directly stealing your content to house on blogs loaded with Google Adwords or other advertising. Actually, for some of these blogs I’m not even sure…

  • Missing McDonald’s Mobile Mars Michigan Motorway

    I recently took a vacation in western Michigan in what should have been a seven-hour drive away from my house. I made this trip with my family, which included a then 15-month old, so the trip seemed more like a 12-month trek across the arctic. Since my colleague (and boss), Techno//Marketer Matt Dickman, recently posted…

  • Inside Pandora’s Box: A Twitter Story

    Sure, I twitter. I am also a huge fan of Pandora. If you don’t know what Twitter is, it’s a service people use to constantly complain about Twitter. It’s also this. Pandora is an online music site that helps you fine other music you’ll love: With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music…

  • Second Life: It doesn’t matter if you like it

    I’ve been trying to avoid Second Life as much as possible, both in writing about it and getting involved in it. Mostly because of the contention between some of the folks in the PR blogosphere. I have my own thoughts on Second Life and they’re not much to write home about. I haven’t tried it,…

  • Newspapers – nothing new here

    This post originally appeared on the Forward blog Newspapers. We’ve been hearing about their demise for years now. But, seriously, is that ever going to happen? Let’s see, the only medium I can think of that really went offline was the telegraph. And that was a rare case. As Shel Holtz is fond of saying:…
