Talk about Viral Marketing

Here’s some shameless plugging courtesy of the Ustream.tv webstream of the Web Managers Round Table that I went to. The guy interviewing me is Peter Corbett from Blattner Brunner and a pretty smart guy to know when it comes to web 2.0 and other social media. If you forward the movie to 5:30, you’ll see […]

What Qualifies as a Good Presentation?

I received an e-mail from Citrix earlier today and one of the stories in the newsletter was about this recently concluded contest on Slideshare. In case you didn’t know about Slideshare, it’s this PowerPoint version of YouTube that anyone can post their high-tech, fancy designed presentations on and people can comment. The interface looks pretty […]

I was fortunate enough recently to participate in a Web Manager’s Round Table at the National Cable & Telecommunication Association building here in Washington, DC yesterday and I found it most informative.

Does Text-Messaging Double Opt-In Exist?

Most people know that if they text a certain message to a certain number, they’ll receive a pretty neat message on their phone with something relating to the product they want. Take the Barack Obama campaign as an example…once you signed up for the text messaging, you’ll receive messages about the campaign’s progress and the […]

Nielsen Tracking No More

What are the standards of analyzing traffic on your website? Don’t ask the traffic giant Nielsen/NetRatings. They just announced plans to drop the longtime measurement of page views and instead focus on the amount of time a user stays on the website. The issue apparently has to deal with the growing inconsistency of measuring what […]

SMS at the Movies

I was at the movie theatre today and saw a preview for a quite hilarious movie called “Balls of Fury“. The premise of this movie isn’t the point of this entry, but rather the fact that at the end of the trailer, there’s a little notice at the end that motivates the viewer to get […]
