There’s no denying it, Pinterest continues to be the talk of the town. And if you’re a designer or you make a living printing funny T-shirts, it’s easy to figure out how Pinterest is going to fit into your marketing mix and all the different ways you can use it. But what about the rest…Read More

I love the Internet. As a user I love being able to meet people I wouldn’t have otherwise been connected to and how easily it is to be part of larger conversations. As a business owner, I love having this direct line to the people we’re trying to help and serve. Of course, there are…Read More

Happy Weekend! I hope you had a productive week, it sure was a busy one over here.  Not too much banter this fine Saturday, just some links. Below are the ones that caught my eye. If you’re so inclined, feel free to share your own personal favorites in the comments below.  I know you’ve been…Read More

Rhea and I were having a conversation about our business recently when the topic of vendor vs. consultant was brought up. I can’t speak for Rhea but I’m not sure I had ever really thought about the difference. Luckily for me, there was a third-party present who was able to perfectly put it into terminology…Read More

Up on stage we have Allison Hartsoe, Dixon Jones, and Dave Lloyd.  Chris Sherman was supposed to be moderating this session but he’s not…Read More

Ready for another one? I hope so. Up this time we have Jessica Bowman, Rhea Drysdale, Ryan Jones, Dana Lookadoo, and Shari Thurow.  My wrists and forearms are on fire so no banter this time around, just signal. Up first is Dana Lookadoo. Dana takes the podium and immediately starts rapping the name of her…Read More

Good morning, friends! Are you ready for the last day of SMX West? I’m hoping my laptop issues from yesterday have been resolved (I think they have) so keep your fingers crossed for me. Otherwise, I may have an epic meltdown right here in the middle of the conference. And that really wouldn’t be pretty.…Read More

Okay! Let’s go! Stay awake! One more session to go! I’m excited. This should be a fun one. We’re going to talk about how voice and Siri are changing mobile and, I mean, pretty much the whole landscape. Up to talk to us are Michael Martin, Gib Olander, Gregg Stewart, and Adrian Vender.  Greg Sterling is…Read More
