I can’t tell you the details here, but it will be very high profile, and the launch involves social media.
Because you’re an influential blogger, we’d like your involvement in the roll out.

How to recognize social media spam when you read it. Sometimes, I get clownish […]
Double Your Subscriber Numbers Overnight!
Every month, I trash at least 4 or 5 magazines — without reading them.
They arrive in the mail. I stopped subscribing to them ages ago.

I’m sure I’m not alone. A number of friends of mine were just grousing about this annoying issue last week. It’s not just a waste of paper. It’s […]
Improve Video Quality with Easy YouTube URL Addition
I found this lovely YouTube video tip at LifeHacker. The tip easily improves the quality of a YouTube video.
All you need to do is copy and paste:
&fmt=18
at the end of the URL of the video you are watching. For example, here is a YouTube Video:
ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChq5drjQl4

Worst Album Covers Ever
The saddest part of our digital world has got to be the demise of the beloved album cover. Many album covers served as art — a joy to look at.
By contrast, CD covers are mostly small and sad. And now, with MP3 downloads, the art of the package seems to be gone forever. No more […]
Funny Online Ad Juxtaposition
Look up the words “bombast” at the Merriam Webster online dictionary, and you’ll see a picture of Barack Obama.

Be careful with those big, bulk, online ad campaign purchases. You might not garner the impressions you desire! (But it’s oh-so easy and profitable for your […]

Today, I installed another WordPress plugin “Subscribe To Comments“. I like the concept of this plug-in. It would seem to encourage a sense of community that can build around a blog.
Here’s how it works: At the bottom of each blog post, you can comment on the post, just like you normally might. (Go ahead, give […]
Apple, Irony, and Thieves
Theft and the Apple Brand. Why is it that when I think of Apple, I think of theft?
Last month, a guy at the gym asked me a riddle:
Q: “What’s the most popular thing kids do with iPods and iPhones?”
A: “Steal them. Or steal music with them.”
And now Seth Godin points us to a blog post […]
Must be a Jing Thing…
I love TechSmith products (dreamy! easy to use! oh-so-friendly!), so I decided to give their Jing project a whirl. This Jing video is my 20 second test of the TechSmith Project. (Note: this used to be an embed, but I switched it to a link. The embed was too big, and other than re-shooting, I […]
