  • Fantasy Football for Charity

    Adam Ostrow, from Mashable, put together a fantasy football league with various people from the social media crowd. I guess they all like to lose, since I was invited. Regardless, the league will be fun and I’ll update everyone on how things are going, along with standings, etc. The reason why this is interesting is…

  • Findability is a Legitimate Concern for Bloggers

    On Saturday, I posted a review of my session at WordCamp on Search and Findability. It was hard to gauge at that time how effective the session was at the time I wrote that. Beside my normal annual attendance at WordCamp as a subject matter expert, and several sessions at different WordCamps around the country…

  • The Psychology of Gap Marketing

    Gap Marketing. What. The. Heck. Gap Marketing is the idea that, when you’ve done everything you can to cover the large target audiences, there are still small gaps to fill. Gap marketing is laptop stickers, teeshirts, even designating wifi network IDs that push the brand. Gap marketing is finding interesting applications for a product, service…

  • Witnesses, Gatekeepers and History

    In an issue Washington Internet Daily last month there is (as one co-worker put it) “double-barreled” coverage of the Senate and House Judiciary hearings on the Google-Yahoo partnership (aka GooHoo, a term I will no longer be using). I covered the Senate hearing in the morning, coincidentally ending across the table from Kara Swisher, which…
