Leveraging The Saddam Hussein Body Double Strategy For Online Reputation Management
Make getting your online shit together one of your resolutions for 2012. Google shouldn’t stumble when people are looking for you … unless you don’t want them to find you. Then, do this: Look, you’re the CMO. You don’t have time for the Google or the Facebook or the Twitter. You have time for reading [...]

Who Will Buy The iPhone 5 (or 4S)?
Ok, I’ll say it. I’m not so sure the iPhone 5 is going to be a raging success. In fact, I think only two groups of people are going to buy one. And there are two huge groups that are not likely to buy, and that’s going to be a problem. Let’s start with who [...]

Keep Calm and Optimize
“Never be daunted. Secret of my success. Never been daunted. Never been daunted in public,” says Bill in Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. Good advice. It’s true for SEO too. The other day I was on a call with Phoenix search engine optimization guru, James Constable, and he realized the audience was daunted. They needed [...]

Dappered Moves to Rackspace

Nice Logo, @TechCrunch, Now Fix Your Mobile Site (And Your Comments)!
I like the TechCrunch redesign. It’s simpler, which is good. It gets out of your way and makes the site easier to read.

Honestly, The Winklevoss Remora Should Have Bought MySpace, Here’s Why
A few minutes ago, I jokingly tweeted: “@tylerwinklevoss and @winklevoss should have bought @myspace and shown @finkdwhat’s up.” Now I’m starting to actually think I’m right.

Steve Jobs And Wonko The Sane Build A New Cupertino HQ
Steve Jobs thinks big. I like that, but he’s a little nuts. And he’s getting to be more nutty as he grows older.
