Place: The Miss­ing P in RSS I con­tinue to read arti­cle after arti­cle about RSS. These arti­cles pon­der why RSS, a supe­rior prod­uct to say e-mail or gen­eral bump­ing around the web, with a free price, and no short­age of cheer­lead­ers has not “caught on” more with the gen­eral pub­lic. Most peo­ple who actu­ally use RSS …read more

Mike Judge, If you are lis­ten­ing I beg of you. Bring back Beavis and Butthead with the sole mis­sion of watch­ing this David Has­sel­hoff video. Butthead — “What the hell is this crap Beavis?” Beavis — “Aaaaaah­h­h­hhh, Ahh­h­hhh, Make it stop, ahhhh.” Butthead — “This guy sucks.” Google video is truly one of the great trea­sures …read more

As a mar­ket­ing geek com­ing out of two weeks of sales train­ing, this post from Seth Godin’s blog rings very true in my world. The inte­gra­tion of sales and mar­ket­ing is so impor­tant — and sadly so rare. It seems that though these two groups share the goal of gen­er­at­ing rev­enue, some­thing always man­ages to …read more

Atten­tion all Day­ton, Ohio chowhounds. For a remark­able din­ing expe­ri­ence, you have got to check out the Mead­owlark Restau­rant.

The Mead­owlark spon­sors NPR’s Morn­ing …read more

Say what you will about the folks from Red­mond, WA, but most of us still use their soft­ware to get things accom­plished. So like it or not, when Microsoft updates its pro­grams it is big news, and so I pass this along to you today. Microsoft has made a free beta ver­sion of Office 2007 …read more

One of my favorite sites on the web is John Moore’s blog, Brand Autopsy. On his site, John pro­vides reg­u­lar doses of real and rel­e­vant mar­ket­ing advice. Much of the infor­ma­tion he is kind enough to share he gleaned from his days of work­ing at Star­bucks and at Whole Foods — two com­pa­nies you might …read more

Want some­thing fun to do, that will not get you in trou­ble by those in charge of mon­i­tor­ing your web traf­fic? (com­pany big brother) Try 55 Ways to have fun with …read more

I could not resist post­ing some­thing about this story from USA Today.  It seems Dustin Dia­mond, a.k.a. Screech from the show “Saved by the Bell,” is sell­ing T-shirts to keep his home out of fore­clo­sure.  Was this taken from a left­over script of the show?  He is try­ing to sell 30,000 shirts at $15.00 each …read more

Just days ago I was telling you to check out Pandora.com, what I con­sider to be one of the trea­sures of the Inter­net. The amaz­ing music site has since updated its inter­face, mak­ing it even more fun use. First, Pan­dora made it eas­ier to give songs the thumb up or down, the fea­ture that helps …read more
