CBS uses Billboards to Deliver free WIFI

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

This is a pretty neat idea.
CBS Corporation has rolled out the ”CBS Mobile Zone,” a wireless high-speed network enabling New Yorkers with Wi-Fi-enabled devices to access the Internet for free. That means snappy Web browsing, making voice over Internet (VOI) calls, watching Web video, and listening to Internet Radio for free, all thru out midtown […]

Seth Godin’s New Book

Monday, March 7th, 2005

Seth’s next book is called All Marketers are Liars. I haven’t read it yet (though I did download the free chapter ), but the name alone is testimony to his brilliance as a marketer. Who wouldn’t want to read that? I’m sure this will be another best seller. Like all great brands, he just keeps […]

New Landing Page E-Book from Marketing Sherpa

Sunday, February 13th, 2005

I’ve long admired Marketing Sherpa’s dedication to bringing good information to marketers, particularly corporate marketers, who generally don’t have access to the leading edge stuff promulgated by hyper-focused niche entrepreneurs.
And since I’m a big fan of split testing, I especially like to see products that help you figure out how, what and when to […]

Was the Banned Go Daddy Super Bowl ad indecent?

Thursday, February 10th, 2005

Responding to Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons’ post of the same title as this one:
I don’t have a problem with the commercial, but it seems to me you’re wasting your breath trying to explain it. It was - what? - 30 seconds long? Like a joke, you either get it or you don’t. Trying to […]

Rok Hrastnik has written an incredibly comprehensive e-book about RSS for marketing, and I’m not just saying that because I’m in it. Check it out. (aff.)

GoDaddy Super Bowl Ad

Monday, January 17th, 2005

Wow. There’s a burning discussion going on about whether GoDaddy is being wise or stupid to run an ad in this year’s Super Bowl.
As a marketer, I’m not a big fan of Super Bowl ads per se. Most of them are pretty lame, but there have been some big success stories. Someone on the board […]

My Meme Post

Wednesday, September 1st, 2004

This is an interesting experiment, but something tells me that in about, oh, 10 days, this kind of thing will be considered spam. (By way of Pheedo, which I just discovered about 10 minutes ago.)
