Tara Hunt’s presentation at Web 2.0 was really fantastic. I love the presos that have just a few words per slide followed with pictures to illustrate concepts. Tara used that technique to her advantage as she spoke to a packed room — not only were all of the seats full, but people stood or [...]

I attended the Web 2.0 Conference last week in San Francisco. Over the next few posts, I’ll try and upload some of my notes for you from the Web 2.0 marketing sessions I attended.
One of the Tuesday workshops I attended was SEO From Soup to Nuts, by Stephan Spencer. Stephan is president of Netconcepts, writes [...]

I noticed that RealGames has partnered with Beliefnet to provide games that “stimulate the mind, challenge the spirit, and soothe the soul.” It’s heavy on the marketing language, but I did click over to play their memory game.

Some employees of Miller Beer are protesting the possibility that CEO Norman Adami might freeze their pensions (video). These employees are union employees so I doubt they will lose their jobs over this public protest, still it’s interesting to note how they are using a You-Tube video to make their point [...]

I’ve really enjoyed listening to music on Pandora.com over the past few days. It’s a much improved form of Internet radio. There are no delays for buffering that I’ve gotten with other services. You start off by entering a song or artist’s name in the search box and Pandora will create a [...]
