New rules passed by the Maryland Board of Elections last month, requiring campaigns to put disclosures on Facebook and Twitter profiles including display ads, came to a screeching halt by State Delagate Mike Smigiel. “I’m not sure what the purpose was of the new regulations or what their effect is going to be,” said Smigiel [...]
I’m amazed at some of the blog posts and articles I read. Not because of their dazzling brilliance and formulas to end world hunger or solutions to bring about world peace…however, it’s the analysis paralysis structure they are written in, forcing readers to become overly dependent on Blogger Bob’s opinion before moving on with life. [...]
Today I was reading an article by entrepreneur and author Seth Godin, and he said something I had never really thought of before, concerning the popular T.V show, “The Office. I think in ten years the TV show ‘the Office’ will be seen as a quaint antique. Really? Seth probably lost all of his Dunder [...]
I’ve been hearing a bunch of talk the past few days about “Facebook Taking Over Google”….or “Facebook is the New Search Engine.” This kind of talk is pointless. Yes, it’s fun for fellow bloggers to discuss the advances Facebook is making in search. Let’s be clear though: the social networking giant is nowhere close to [...]
Ever since Facebook decided to ditch the “Become a Fan” and “Join” buttons in favor of a standard “Like” option, the more I think they are expending unnecessary energy in tweaking a pointless feature. To put it bluntly: I don’t think most Facebookers care about what you and I think. The majority of users don’t [...]
It should be no surprise to anyone following Internet marketing that Facebook wants to be the premier link between users and publishers. Heck, anyone with a Facebook account knows this. Well, they just took another step towards achieving this goal. The Palo Alto, CA company just released a set of tools which will attempt to [...]
I know this is old news, but for those of you paying attention, the video giant Hulu.com is no longer running re-runs of The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Being an avid viewer of both of these shows, it sort feels like a punch in the gut. Honesty, since Hulu is owned by some of [...]
It appears all of the Bing ads have started to pay off. Slightly. According to the latest Nielsen Search Rankings, Bing jumped from 9.9% market share in December, to 10.9% in Janruary 2010. A whole whopping 1%. It’s not the 1% that’s special. Taking away searches from their largest competitor is what matters…with Google dropping [...]
By now I’m sure you’ve heard of eHow or Cracked and quite possibly Golf Link. These are all subsidiaries of mega content producing giant (wow that’s a mouthful) Demand Media. Basically, Demand specializes in creating online content (comedy, how to articles, training videos) at the cheapest possible price. Essentially, they are the Wal-Mart of online [...]
Worried about Google invading your personal life? So are we, I wanted to share this satirical video a friend shared about the Google toilet.
Ralph Nader is going to have a hay day with this one . . . Laws have spawned in many locations around the globe that bans or limits the use of cell phones due to driver distraction. So what will safety advocates like Nader have to say about the Internet / PC in our car? [...]
Even as airlines are starting to offer Wi-Fi to more passengers, TSA has taken another step backwards. If you think you’ll be able to bust out another blog post before landing, think again. In lieu of the recent near terrorist attack on a Christmas Day, Detroit bound Delta flight, government officials and airlines have cracked [...]
