The Top 25 Student Blogs
First and foremost, Happy Easter and Chag Sameach to all. I still don’t know what to say on Good Friday, so I’m avoiding it altogether and just wishing good holidays to all for Easter and Passover. And oh yeah – we’re open today if you need anything. For those of [...]
America's Next Top Search Engine (Naked Super) Model
Let’s just say it’s a quiet afternoon in the office; your minions are taking longer than usual to get their change out of the vending machine, and the door has accidentally locked itself from the inside. Of course, you could always ring a locksmith, or you could kick back and [...]
Business Blogging: Be a Local Vocal Yokel.
You’d think that without cable TV and an over-the-air antenna that only manages to pick up a desperately fuzzy local Fox station but a decent HD ABC, our household had an ideological position against lowest common denominator television.

SES New York: Speaking at Blogging for Business Session (Take 2)
I never got round to filling you in as to what went down at SES Chicago, did I? Not that you remember nor care I suppose. Paul WoodhousePaul looks after the SEO side of things here at Direct Online Marketing as well as trying to work out the best social [...]

[Tag: Cloud] If you go and take a look at the new archives page I’ve thrown up, you’ll notice (in descending order) a search form, monthly archives, archives by category with their own RSS feed, a latest posts section, and a TAG CLOUD. This just allows you to scavenge through [...]

I often make analogies to flushing things down the toilet. Often times those analogies are about money, so that’s how I know I’ve gotten old. That and when younger employees like Derrick call me old. Well, I went and darn near did flush something down the toilet this week. You [...]
You Don't Get This at Starbucks
