Over on twitter and a certain blog, there’s been much debate about a Thought Leader vs. a Practitioner. As the saying goes, “those that can’t DO, teach.” The ideas and arguments are fine and dandy. Although I’m honestly more on the side of the Practitioners. But, here’s my rub: People like Brogan and Fitton (aka […]
I LOVE Augmented Reality. It’s my new favorite bright and shiny object. If you’re not sure what it is, Matt Dickman does the best job explaining it. Some of the latest ways it’s being used are: Online shopping / Trying on clothes Trying out a new hair cut Finding your way around Wimbledon Finding your […]

This post was going to be titled, “Why Obama’s Going to Win.” But, alas, it’s been a crazy week and I never had a chance to flush this out like I wanted. Since the election is over and I’m dying, the post is going to stay half-assed. Deal with it. First, let’s make it really […]
David Armano’s newest picture, The Corporate Social Media Curve, made me chuckle as I’ve seen this all too often. However, I’ve discovered an easy way to avoid this curve… educate and excite.

Zivity is a royalty-based social network for female models and photographers that claims to “empower woman to feel their most beautiful and comfortable.” Zivity Co-Founder, […]
I like how Patron has taken their “Some Perfection is Debatable” campaign and integrated it into all marketing channels. The website is fun – people love voting, seeing what others think and occasionally commenting about them. Patron gets it, unlike MGM MIRAGE’s latest UGC campaign. Forty-eight hours in Vegas, in theory, is a cute idea […]
I have to admit that I ride the fence about managing expectations. Sometimes, I think it’s a total bullshit word like engagement media, social media and Web 2.0. But, other days, I’m all for managing expectations. Eight times out of ten it’s very helpful. The ninth time, not so helpful and the tenth time? Total […]
Wish I could remember how I managed to stumble upon this site, but alas… Wordle is a fun site allowing you to generate word clouds. The cool/creative part? You get to tweak the layout, colors, fonts, etc. of your word cloud. Want to guess what post I used? And for some completely unrelated, added fun…
