Twitter Rooms For Sharing And Exploring

Should News Be Free?

With all of the talk about the future of newspapers and journalism, comes a bigger question... should news be free?

<>If you've been following along at home, there has been all kinds of action in the news media space.

When It Comes To Reinvention

When it comes to reinvention, who is best to lead to the change? Is it the old guard, the new guard or does it come from a corner or pocket of the world that no one sees coming?

Change is always constant.

Evolutionize Your Marketing

It seems like everyone is busy looking to their left and to their right in hopes that someone else is going to come up with a way to revolutionize advertising. After thinking about this long and hard, it looks like it is not going to happen.

<>The last (and biggest) change we have seen on the advertising landscape is what Google has done. If you dig down deep into the history of Google AdWords (or if you were in the search engine business back then like I was), you'll quickly discover that GoTo.c</>
