Happiness or goodness - who wins the ‘conversation’?

Quick note:
In this post I basically compare two types of marketing that are non comparable.

When John, Anjali and few others tweeted about their votes for a Pepsi Refresh project I clicked through and in 20 seconds I was in a ’standing ovation’ mode. Such awesome, admirable, bold, [...]

I suck at viral video

Hello world
It’s good to be back
It’s weird to be back
I really wanted to get back to blogging action but until my sleeping-deprived brain will get back into full capacity let me share a failure with you.

YouTube Trends Report #5 - series finale (double bill)

Just about a year ago I wrote my first YouTube trends report, of which success took me completely by surprise. And almost every week since the 4th report I get a couple of emails from people asking me why I stopped doing them. The truth is that while back then it was novel and [...]

Global Orgasm For Peace
