I’ve been thinking about long-term relationships with brands and how they’ve changed over the years as a result of online communications and, specifically, how that has allowed some brands to become integrated into much of our existence.
My relationship with a brand of football cleats is developed when I shop for them and it is reinforced [...]

The One Big Thing you need to know this week is that the Obama Administration has continued their eGovernance initiatives.
In addition to the White House blog, the administration has established a White House channel on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr and iTunes. Predictably enough, they’re calling it WhiteHouse 2.0.
As I’ve said before, the Adminstration’s [...]

The White House has set up shop on Flickr and is now uploading photos for public consumption. My Tunheim Partners buddy Pat Lilja tipped me off to Flickr account.

Barack Obama’s Use Of Social Networking
Perhaps the single most important ingredient to Obama’s online success was his campaign’s thorough understanding of social networks. That understanding is unsurprising, given, as I said in a previous post, Chris Hughes, a former Facebook founder, ran Obama’s new media campaign. But it is probably the single most significant factor in the monumental strides the [...]Data Portability Is Bassackwards

The ease with which you can find like-minded people with these sites is pretty breathtaking. The ability to precisely define a demographic target audience is particularly fine [...]
Microsoft To Acquire Yahoo!?
The New York Times is reporting that Microsoft has offered to buy Yahoo! for $44.6 billion. If Yahoo! accepts the offer, the deal is not merely significant, it’s a blockbuster. Google has been far and away the dominant search engine since, what, 1999? That market share dominance has translated into enormous search engine advertising riches that [...]Punch Pizza Flickr Photo Contest Campaign
