Practically since the PC boom in the mid 1990s, individuals and organizations have been consumed - and even obsessed - with learning how to use available technology to deliver content. But what about the content itself? Are we giving content the time and attention it deserves? After all, what good does it do to have a slick web site and to hold accounts on all the latest social media sites if no one cares about what you have to say? The time and attention of members is at a premium, and as demands gr... (more)

It has become a cliché that first-time visitors to Twitter respond with some version of: “I don’t get it.” On Tuesday night, Twitter unveiled a brand-new home page that tries to solve that problem — and makes Twitter look a lot more like a real-time search engine. The main feature on the new home page is a big search box under the suggestion “See what people are saying about…” People can type a word or phrase into the box and see the latest relevant tweets. This is a big change for Twitter and makes it more... (more)

Free today? Not for long Disney plans to experiment with a paid-subscription model online, Robert Iger said, at a conference sponsored by Fortune magazine. The Disney CEO added that people are willing to pay for quality content if they perceive it has value, MediaBuyerPlanner reports. A subscription model will give Disney better knowledge of customers, as their activities and interests can be tracked. That, in turn, will lead to the ability to charge marketers higher prices, he observed, writes Bloomberg.... (more)

Thursday, July 30, 2009 1:53:15 PM GMT Sunday, July 26, 2009 6:12:39 AM GMT
Every once and a while I will engage in a conversation with someone -- whether in the office, on the road, at Cannes, at the local eatery, you name it -- and they will say something that inspires a barrage of new thoughts.

But there are a few common mistakes that we see pop up over and over. Thinking that deliverability failures don’t happen to them. In the U.S. most e-mail marketers are aware that some legitimate e-mail gets blocked from inboxes. They just generally think it’s the e-mail of other companies – certainly not theirs.

When you open your Facebook profile and see a friend request from someone you’ve never met, consider this before you hit “accept”: the more online contacts people have, the less their networking power.

I proposed that more relationships were formed online in the digital space between total strangers than were being formed in the physical space. The days of going over to meet the neighbors with apple pie had been replaced with a few key strokes and a screen name.
