No such thing as spare time.

No such thing as free time.

No such thing as downtime.

All you got is life time.

Go.

Mobile: a perfect storm

M

I’m in the process of redesigning my site and yes; I have been for several months. I’ve been rebranded myself as of 4 months ago; focusing on social media, mobile marketing and the impact on consumer goods. The redesign is a difficult process and it would be much smarter to just pick an existing template . . . but . . . you know how that whole wisdom thing goes. Anyway, I’m in...

Web 2.0 for the CIO (part 1)

W

I was recently invited to guest lecture by Professor McCubbrey of the Daniels Information Technology and eCommerce department about the implications Web 2.0 has for CIOs. I put together a list of topics that I feel most CIOs (B2B vs. B2C/ product vs. service) need to consider when developing technology/business strategies. The outline for the lecture was as follows: Deep Relationships Twitter...

TEDxDU!

T

I have been a fan of TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) since 2006 when I stumbled upon a video of a man talking about the intelligence of Octopi.

At first I thought it was going to be a mobile device in the sense that a laptop; a computing device that can be used just as a desktop can be used. (Remember desktops?) But then, after testing one out, I...

RiP! A Remix Manifesto (video)

R

I finally got a chance to watch this movie, RiP! A Remix Manifesto, after one of my students recommended it. This is an amazing documentary that highlights many of the issues with copyright in the new world. One of the participants is Lawrence Lessig and has recently written a book called Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in a Hybrid Economy. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet . . ...

Location . . . wherever it makes sense

L

Finally got to watch the webinar that Placecast put on and there was a portion of the presentation that really got my attention. It was the Sonic Burgers case study. They used location based SMS marketing to attract customers which is going to increase in popularity with businesses like Placecast. What they did that I thought was interesting was allow for other venues to act as triggers for the...
