The Medium Is The Message

Somewhere along the way, this key point has been completely forgotten.

This doesn’t seem to be taught in schools anymore — journalism school, public relations classes, or marketing.

A friend of mine told me this recently:

It is unbelievable. at my school, they taught us that LinkedIn was the one and only way to [...]

There Is Truth In Fiction

I loved the show when I first discovered it years ago, and I still love the re-runs today.

La Femme Nikita ran for a little over four seasons from 1997 to 2001 — and ended months before the 9-11 attacks. That is significant because some of the story lines have come true.

The show is [...]

Habits Are Made To Be Broken

Street Art: The Quiet Revolution

A fascinating report on Al Jazeera’s Listening Post reported that street art is a clue to how a population is feeling.

Long before the Arab Spring erupted, before there were physical actions in Bahrain and Libya, graffiti waged its own quiet revolution to spread its media directly to the people on the street. When Internet [...]

Don’t Assume

I received an interesting email tonight from a passing acquaintance who wants me to like her Facebook page.

While Facebook allows you to send out requests to your followers to follow your page (or blog) — and I admit I have used that in the past — is it me or does it seem rather [...]

Focus And Determinations Wins Battles

One of the more inspirational stories transpired in the NHL in 2001. Montreal center, Saku Koivu announced early September, that he was diagnosed with cancer.

My Publishing Guru

Seth Godin has it going on. He lands in my inbox every morning, sometimes twice a day, and he provides great insight and real meat on how to connect with people and market intelligently.
