DigitalNow Blog: Content: It's not someone else's problem

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)

DigitalNow Blog: Lead with the brain in mind

According to recent research at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the social pain that people experience when they feel rejected causes a response in the brain similar to that of a physical blow. So when people say that it hurts to be left out or devalued, that's because the brain doesn't differentiate between physical and social suffering. Researchers Naomi Eisenberger and Matthew Lieberman hypothesized that "human beings evolved this link between social connection and physical discomf..... (more)

DigitalNow Blog: Millenial social media refusniks

Contrary to what you may have heard, not all members of the "new school" generation have been eager to adopt social media. In fact, there are enough of them holding out to earn them their own name: refusniks. Refusniks are the 18 - 29-year-olds who eschew the practice of connecting and communicating on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. Their reasons vary - some are fiercely protective of their privacy and others just simply hate typing. Since Facebook just announced that it has 300 millio... (more)

DigitalNow Blog: Personal data as online currency

Chances are that if you want to read a really great article from a reliable source, you'll be asked to provide some personal data in order to gain access. Perhaps a form will pop up, asking for your name and email address. Maybe you'll also be asked to select your gender, profession, or even income level from a series of drop-down boxes. From the user side, how far people are willing to go depends on how much they value the information you're providing. From a marketer's perspective, then, it is importan..... (more)

DigitalNow Blog: Reinventing print media

Print media such as newspapers, consumer magazines, and business-to-business trade publications saw a dramatic decrease in print advertising - and in 2009, that trend is continuing. Two major forces are contributing: There is an ongoing shift in where marketers are spending. More is going into their own web sites, word-of-mouth campaigns, and other "below the line" marketing programs. The rise of digital media has hit print profitability hardest, since print ad pages are more expensive than other types o.... (more)

We all want to get our good email, also known as "ham," but we don't want our inboxes getting crammed with what is commonly referred to as spam. And if you're like most people, you're getting more spam than ever. In fact, a recent study conducted by Message Labs indicated that in June of this year, spam accounted for 90.4% of all email sent. It is the job of your filter to decide which emails you want to read. Filters make that determination based on a combination of things such as content and header filter... (more)
