But I can’t deal with the fact that a mobile operator is unable or unwilling to remove me from its marketing list. It’s a marketing basic. Everybody loves a giveaway, in theory, although you couldn’t pay me to downlo […]

I mean this in relation to business process and internal communications, not the external facing application of social media. At the heart of this trend li […]

  • Free your blog comments from SEO and improve your SEO January 4, 2010
    In the beginning comments on blogs were seen as a win-win scenario. The blog owner could see that someone cared enough about the post to comment. The blog owner got some free copy. Someone else was writing for their blog; albeit just a little paragraph or so. It was still content and content was still king. The kindly person leaving the comment got something […]

  • Five minutes on YouTube, a $30m Hollywood contract December 18, 2009
    But Halpern's big break looks incredibly small compared to that of Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez. According to the BBC, he has been offered a $30m contract to produce a Hollywood sci-fi film for Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures.

  • Will Facebook's privacy blunder hurt advertisers most? December 16, 2009
    When Facebook launched, it was a private network reserved exclusively for students and alumni at a handful of schools. But over time, as it has opened up to the world at large, it has also become more public. The motivation for this is simple: it will be impossible for Facebook to grow into the company it needs to be financially as a closed, private network. […]
