by jkirker on July 29, 2010

In the last couple of weeks I’ve had at least half-a-dozen friends call me or write me looking for work. My brother-in-law has been out of work for nearly 18 months after a stellar career working in management for a few Fortune 500 companies. He was outsourced and downsized. Another friend has been in banking [...]

If you know me, you know that I’m a big fan of testing – especially when it comes to sales, marketing and advertising. While working for Jay Abraham in my early 20′s I learned about the concept of testing multiple directmail pieces against each other. One version of a sales letter might have a certain [...]

Initially we built it as a tool that would help ice skating and roller skating rinks rinks monitor their brands and grow their Twitter following by connecting with the skaters in their area.

Under growing pressure to do something about the horrible service that users like me get to deal with, AT&T and Apple have released an iPhone App to try to work things out. It’s called “AT&T Mark The Spot” – and when you experience a dropped call, or less than adequate voice quality, you are supposed [...]
