  • SEO and Personal Brand is not dead. If you innovate.

    Two very close friends of mine have made blanket statements stating that SEO is Dead and that, in essence, so is personal brand. Though I understand the sentiment expressed in both posts, it is still misinformation and very debunk-able. Micah Baldwin, who thinks SEO is dead, also happens to be my boss at Lijit. Geoff…

  • Rant: Silicon Valley Fenetics

    Yes, intentionally misspelled. Phonetics. Phonetics and mashup are all the rage in Silicon Valley web 2.0 start-up naming conventions right now.  When it was Digg, FaceBook and Skype, this was different.  It was cool, fresh and neat.  You could not help but ask yourself, what’s that?!?
