The web is changing business. All in favour, say “I”.
Great. Moving right along…
There are a lot experts out there on social media, web 2.0, SaaS (and its less mainstream “aaS” cousins). Tim O’Reilly, Mitch Joel, Nicholas Carr.
And so I wonder… who is going to write the rule book? Who is going to be the web’s [...]
Here are two videos. Two forms of expression. Two very different ways (amounts) of adding value to the world.
It’s easy to argue that this is just a style choice. Or even the world through different eyes. I don’t buy it.
This is not a statement about the genre. Tupac never made a song that didn’t have [...]
Everytime I see/hear this.
I’ve been busy. Working towards achieving personal goals. Honouring my contracts the only way I know how. Slipping into my own world so deeply that focus is something I can touch, and seconds are my chosen currency.

When seeking out social media expertise - be mindful of whether you need a 2.0 media buyer or a consultant. There’s a lot of people in the first bucket… lower barriers to entry. Sadly, they both call themselves strategists.
Any ad that doesn’t tell a story is useless. You’re impressions aren’t building equity. I have too many important things to remember that have real meaning.
Anyone at the Jason Mraz concert last night understands what it takes to accumulate 1000 true fans.
Just before his last song of the evening, Jason hummed and hawed through a few parting words. Lost among the Toronto shout outs was a simple phrase that struck a chord.
It’s a pretty cool thing to acknowledge that someone [...]
Since the beginning of time, the rule has been 1 in 10. For every 10 contacts you make, 1 ends up being a customer.
Hold that thought.
When I dine out, I generally tip 15%. I don’t reward servers for being above average. I don’t punish them for being a little off. About 1 in 10 times [...]
