I guess I really like to challenge Ms. Draper’s 6th graders. I have found that every challenge I offer her students seem to rise to the task. So today I created another challenge for Ms. Draper’s class (this makes number three). The challenge is to think of a cool name for a new website I [...]
Many of you may remember Ms. Draper’s sixth grade class I taught in March. Well, Ms. Draper has asked that I return to teach. This time around I plan to teach the students in depth about Affiliate Marketing. Last time I issued the $100 Challenge and the kids did a good job of cleaning me [...]
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and I wrote a post about how we can help relieve the suffering of the Iraqi people. Due to this post I pondered a great deal last night on the freedoms I currently enjoy here in America. Whether you are for or against the war in Iraq really means little to [...]
As marketers we often get a bad rap. Mainly, I believe this comes from having the image of being totally money centered and focused. I guess it’s easy for this to happen. Most marketing success is easily gauged by how much money a campaign generates. Large amounts of dollars equal—wine pouring—fantastic success; whereas, no dollars [...]

The e-mail also declared a delay for the iPhone, perhaps the most hyped gadget of all times. The e-mail went out to thousands [...]
My apologies for going dark this last week and a half. There is a lot going on with the Internet, but sometimes it’s good to unplug. Okay, okay, I didn’t really unplug from cyber world (I don’t think I could if I wanted to!). However, I did unplug from my blog. Some of my clients [...]
On Friday rumors were flying across the websites of the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal of renewed merger talks between Yahoo and Microsoft. Both Yahoo and Microsoft refused to comment on the rumor, but as Friday came to an end it became apparent that something was brewing between the two companies. According [...]
In yesterday’s post I blogged about my theory of shady companies becoming registrars and then stealing people’s good domain names. Today I hope to see if we can show conclusively if this theory is true. I propose that we do a case study to see how long it takes for a domain name to be [...]
