Cuil Ain’t So Cool

Cuil.com (pronounced Cool), the new search engine developed by ex-Googlers, came out of stealth mode over the weekend to much fanfare. The news hook, of course, is the angle of ex-Googlers taking on Google. They should’ve stayed in stealth mode until they had it figured out because they ain’t a challenge to Google (or [...]

Need Black Green Livers In DC

That’s a headline from yesterday’s Help A Reporter Out email, a service to which reporters post requests for sources. So, does the reporter need livers from DC that are greenish black? Black with green stripes? Why does a reporter want livers anyway, black, green or otherwise? And what’s so special about livers from DC? [...]

iPhone To Get Copy & Paste, Turn-By-Turn Navigation?

I recently complained that the absence of a copy and paste function on the iPhone is a deal-killer for me personally, because it prevents the phone from being the incredibly productive device that my Windows Mobile phone is. Well, BetaNews reports that the next OS update for the iPhone could include copy and paste, along [...]

Font Conference

Here’s some geeky humor–and it’s rather clever–that all you graphic artists and web designers will find particularly amusing:

The Barack Obama Campaign & Microtargeting

In January, I wrote about Millennials’ role in the Barack Obama campaign and touched on the micromarketing concept laid out in one of my favorite recent books, Applebee’s America. Technology enables us to do so much more and so much more complex things that it’s easy to get all starry-eyed over the wow factor while missing [...]

Brett Favre Saga In Search – Vikings Uniform Photo Drives Traffic

According to WordTracker, there were thousands of Brett Favre-related searches during the past three months. That’s not surprising, given he’s one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and a near-certain Hall of Famer; though, considering his bratty behavior of late, could his status be in doubt? I routinely conduct keyword research [...]

Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Webmaster

served by picapp.com While evaluating a potential client’s Web site for proposal fodder recently, it quickly became apparent that this organization had made the common mistake of burying the good stuff. It is remarkable how often people put so little thought into their organization’s home page, especially when you consider that for a typical web [...]

Commercial Status Updates

served by picapp.com Pretty much the only time I listen to terrestrial radio anymore is when I’m in the car.  Drive time radio, breaking news, and Twins and Vikings games or other sporting events are pretty much the only content that I do not time-shift. I was listening to ESPN Radio on my way home [...]

WCCO TV Bloginar

The universe seemed to be conspiring yesterday to keep me from getting as much as I could have out of yesterday’s WCCO TV-hosted "bloginar" at a Dunn Brothers in Minneapolis. I left the office at 5, traffic was a bitch so I got there at about six and then practically from the moment I walked [...]

Creating An Online Voice

Beer Marketing – The Flying Dog Example Flying Dog is my favorite American beer after my hometown favorites Surly and Summit. But I am just as impressed with their online marketing as I am their actual brews. I am always citing Flying Dog as the best example I’ve seen of a company creating a unified online [...]
