Parlez-vous 2.0?

Here is another of my old posts from a now defunct blog, originally posted 6/13/07. Ask five different people what “Web 2.0″ is and you’ll probably get five different answers, but it all boils down to new ways of interaction and communication online. Blogs, social networks (like MySpace, Friendster and LinkedIn) and other user-generated content [...]

New Wesch Video “Information R/evolution”

Dr. Michael Wesch of Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us has a new video. While not as awe inspiring as the first, it’s better than most and makes me want to stop working tonight and pickup “Everything is Miscellaneous” again. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fttrumble.com%2Fnew-wesch-video-information-revolution%2F’; addthis_title = ‘New+Wesch+Video+%26%238220%3BInformation+R%2Fevolution%26%238221%3B’; addthis_pub = ‘TTrumble’;

Red Sox in the Grey Lady

In yesterday’s times there was an article called Are the Red Sox Ready to Become the Yankees? and then here’s a nice Op Ed piece Death to the Underdog.

Google PPC Growing Rapidly

While yesterday’s Q3 earnings report that showed 46% profit increase is staggering in itself, George Reyes stated that “aggregate paid clicks grew approximately 45% over Q3 of last year, and increased approximately 5% over Q2.” Wow, 45% growth in a year for SEM alone! That reinforces Marketing Sherpa’s report on the pressure that growth of [...]
