ROI of requiring user registration online
I’d like to offer my two-cents on an article featured on Techmeme but displayed on Publishing 2.0 in regards to what’s the point of having user registration on a site?

BtoB Magazine: Email Outlook in 2008

How social can you be to influence someone?
So while I was on Twitter early this morning, I came across this post where Shiv Singh had written an article/paper on why people and companies should “Think Social Influence Marketing in 2008” and after reviewing it, it definitely makes a lot of sense…and when you read it yourself, you’ll probably think that it’s common […]

My workplace is allowing us an advance screening of Walt Disney Pictures’ “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” and seeing that I’m in the interactive industry, I wanted to see what other people thought I should do to exploit the web 2.0 phenomena for this special event.
