Social Media: Are You In or Are You Out?

As I think back to the ancient days of MySpace and how far social media and social networking have come since then, I realize that the future only holds greater and more advanced outlets for communicating, advertising, and relaying information.  The most popular form of social media at this moment continues to be Facebook but [...]

Apple is breaking up with Quattro Wireless!

Apple is not accepting anymore mobile ad campaigns and are closing down current ad campaigns through the Quattro Wireless ad network. Back in January, Apple purchased Quattro Wireless for a cool $275 million and it seems like they are already over the ad network after 8 months.  With so much money invested into their new [...]

Vitaminwater’s Going Mobile

Vitaminwater recently launched their newest campaign staring the genius that is Gary Busey.  In the new ads Gary Busey plays Norman Tugwater, Fantasy Sports Attorney.  He’s fighting to get monetary compensation from fantasy sports players for the athletes that he represents.  The whole thing is pretty funny and quite entertaining, but Busey’s nut-job cheesy TV [...]

Johnny Rockets & Atkins are two I was thinking about today.

A mobile site (and/or iPhone app) for JR with location finder, nutrition info and fun bells and whistles would be cool. For Atkins, a strategy [...]

HTC Hero – It’ll Save You!

In response to Shehzad’s “HTC…No One’s Hero”

Ohhhh little brother… You have so much more to live and learn. Kudos on the attempt though!

We can at least agree on the fact that AT&T’s network is anemic at best. However, when comparing the HTC Hero and Apple iPhone, both of which I have also owned and operated, [...]

‘Oh Disney Where Art Thou?’

I starting writing this blog while listening to a webinar about mobile; one of the panelists was explaining how brands and agencies will pay more attention to mobile if they can understand its full potential ‘reach.’  We’ve heard many times before that most agencies and brands don’t fully understand the reach of mobile, or how [...]

Mobile and Action Sports

Being a surfer and an advocate of mobile, I had to comment on the great job Surfline did with their mobile website. Swell directions and wave conditions are always changing and are never the same.
