Seasonal perspective

The media will be saturated in the coming days with assessments of 2009 and predictions for 2010.

When it comes to predictions, I learned long ago that my skills lie elsewhere (which is [...]
Evaluating success in Social Media
Dec 11, 2009
In the many conversations that I’ve had with current and prospective clients regarding social media, two of the benefits that I consistently mention are:

About 20 percent of e-patients go to [...]
MSN Reskins, Aligns with Bing
Nov 03, 2009
The new MSN homepage debuts tonight and you would be completely correct for thinking the recipe Microsoft (MSFT) has cooked up to inform its design ethos–white, clean and hiply modern–has definite echoes of a certain longtime tech rival.
That would be Apple (AAPL), of course, with a big dollop of Twitter and Facebook tossed in and [...]
