Once upon a time there was an iddy-biddy search engine that went by the name of Google. It was run by some of the most cleverest (sic) people in the whole wide world. But, it was the job of the Google to organize everything on the other www. – the world wide web. As the Web [...]

So, what’s that say about me getting the opportunity (read: roped in) to teach a portion of Justin’s ecommerce class last Thursday in Wheeling as he had a conference call to take? As guest lecturers go you can’t get much [fill in the blank]. The main objective was to try and get the class to understand on-page [...]

More useful: iPad or eyepad? Apple has performed a great service for those of us who have ruined our eyesight using their iPhone and iPod Touch late at night under the bed covers with the iPad.

We hope everyone had a safe Thanksgiving and profitable Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  Today’s post is another installment in our occasional The Marketing Experts series straight from Hotlanta.  (Quick aside – was in Atlanta recently and saw a Falcons game.  Outside the stadium a big sign reads “Welcome to the Georgia Dome”.  I couldn’t [...]

Prior to Pittsburgh hosting the G20 summit – in fact, on its very eve – Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, paid a visit. While Justin had asked me if I wanted to attend, I couldn’t as my own CEO (mother) was leaving town and I had to drop her off at Cleveland airport. Justin managed to [...]

Let’s just say it’s a quiet afternoon in the office; your minions are taking longer than usual to get their change out of the vending machine, and the door has accidentally locked itself from the inside.
