  • My nomination for worst video of 2009!

    I honestly didn’t think Microsoft was capable of creating an advert that was worse than their Tron Guy ad, but au contraire, they’ve managed it no problem… in fact, it’s safe to say that they’ve impressed me just how far they have pushed the limits of complete & utter tripe! Don’t worry Apple, you may…

  • Sex Criminal Fashions

    I was just browsing Mary McKnight’s blog at Sacrilicious Marketing when I also noticed the Pedophile Beard viral video below by Jon La Joie, I’ll be honest, I haven’t laughed out loud like that for quite some time. There’s plenty more videos on his website. [youtube=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=15S0g8pG6HU] This is another good one, Show Me Your Genitals…

  • Look for questions, not answers

    Asking the right questions, is more important than having all the answers. Knowing how to to get higher rankings in a Google search isn’t as important as asking, will it make any difference? It’s likely your time & effort would be better invested in creating effective ways to interact with your current customers, than spending…

  • Trust Me, I’m a Blogger

    While taking a break from my hectic morning schedule of making myself a cup of tea & finding some clean socks to wear I thought I’d check in and see what little bread crumbs my fellow Twits had left for me. Sure enough there were plenty, but one from Jaculynn stood out more than most…

  • Your Identity Matters!

    There are those that label a personal domain name as a vanity domain, but I disagree… having a personalised number plate is vanity, owning a personalised URL is foresight… what’s the difference? I’ll give you an example. In an interview, a young woman of 16 said, I want to more famous than Persil Automatic, that…

  • Dirty Laundry

    We’ve heard it so many times from clients & suppliers… “we’re customer focused… everything we do is with the customer in mind… we’re number one for our clients… you can trust us to deliver… we won’t let you down… yawn yawn etc” Then they proceed to say “But don’t take our word for it, listen…

  • Time for Facebook to Face the Facts

    Nick Burcher added a post on his blog about Facebook Usage Statistics for 2008 which made me think about something I mentioned a few weeks ago, as I noticed within Facebook’s top 21 only India & Hong Kong appear for the whole of Asia! Where’s China, Japan, Indonesia etc? Nick’s stats are interesting, but they’re…
