By now you’ve probably heard the story about Lois Feldman. If not, here’s a quick recap: Lois was arrested for doing her Humpty Hump (of Digital Underground fame) Burger King bathroom impression in the stall of a public bathroom at a college football game recently. That’s pretty embarrasing, especially in [...]
I'm Off to Speak at SES Chicago – Extra Bluster in Windy City
By hook or by crook I’ve always managed to avoid public speaking engagements. Whether it’s a case of getting lost in London during rush hour, or just being on the wrong side of the pond at any particular invite, my air of international blogger of mystery has remained fairly intact. [...]

Is President-Elect Barack Obama a Social Media Stalker?
President-elect Barack Obama to have his Blackberry-induced smile wiped off his face? The world is made up of two types of people – those who think Barack Obama is the Messiah, and those who think he’s a very naughty boy. In amongst that lot are a curious group of Web [...]

Thank You to Our Veterans

Yahoo! and Google Split. Is Yahoo! Better Off?
I don’t know whether you’ve been following the Yahoo! soap opera of late, but I bet you’ve seen the latest installment of the on-off-on again bizarre love triangle played out between Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google.

Healthcare Marketing Research & Survey Results
On Halloween, we cited some Harris Interactive research regarding how consumers like to find answers to their healthcare questions. We also asked you “What are the most used online resources to gather information on a health question / concern?” Probably a bit of a misleading question since some people answered [...]
How do People Find Answers to Health Related Questions?
One of my favorite sitcom lines was from Roseanne, circa 1992. Darlene‘s uncle brings a vcr and she says with incredibly dry delivery, “Alright, the Connor Conner family leaps into the 80′s.” That’s kind of how I feel today about the newest feature for the Direct Online Maketing: polls. Recently, [...]
