Bad Ads, No Biscuit

While drifting off to sleep recently, it hit me that web ads are a kind of misfit of the advertising world.  They’re super algorithmically driven, primarily because of the remnant market in display.

What happens when we review all doctors on the internet, because we’ve moved to a completely electronic medical data system? Someone I know hit upon the following book, “The Price of Everything,” [...]

The Matrix that is the Web

Image via Wikipedia My guess,when you the reader, sees the tiltle, is that you think I am about to talk about “The Matrix” the movie. Actually, this post is about an idea I heard about today- Emile Durkheim came up with an idea about communities.  Essentially, from what I have been hearing about, there are [...]

Conde and McKinsey, you still suck

McKinsey finally finished up their overview of all things Conde. And they missed the mark, totally, about falling revenue in the print editions. Lets go into why.  There are a bunch of very cool bloggers cutting deep into sharing content about what is slylish, literary-ish, cool, whatnot.  We can move on and slowly Ignore Conde [...]

On Sam Lessin and Email

Sam Lessin, of Drop.Io fame and fortune,  has built on top of drop.io (if I had to guess) a service that allows you to charge to send emails.  Sam’s a smart guy.  One of the few in NY who I can honestly say is well thought out.  We’re in a minor disagreement over a very [...]

Flash Me! (Not really)

Image by mattwi1s0n via Flickr Some interersting articles appeared on my radar about, of all things, flash mobs.

The New York Tech MeetUp- The March Edition

Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I know it is late.  I’ve had a humongously amazing, yet busy week. (and I don’t normally talk like that)  I feel so thankful that I am finally really starting to become less shy with people in the NY Tech Community.  Everyone I am meeting has been wonderful.  Y’all are [...]

McKinsey, you are not in Vogue on the Internet

Image via Wikipedia I had orignially written something way too snarky.  I realized I am far too classy for that level of snark. I had gotten my lucious copy of the September issue of Vogue, hereafter known as the Bible.  My copies of W have been missing over the summer.  I’ve given up the women [...]

Product Failure, the Position You Never Want to Be in

So in an effort to understand as much as I can about the InterWebs, I am trying to look at as many products as I can.  While I can’t say I am some mysterious genius of words like “Drupal” or “Ruby on Rails” or “BigTables,”  I can say I have a good gut knowledge of [...]

Aggregators, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly

Image by Dead Air via Flickr Another post that is imperative to write about. *sigh* I hate feeling like I can’t keep a good idea a secret.  I feel bad that this company didn’t realize a good idea in their own product when it was staring them in the face. So when I was at [...]
