iphone 4

Now that it’s the summer it seems that your friends at SOTB have had a lackadaisical approach lately with keeping up with posts. Sorry about that. So the iphone 4?

Inflection point: Internet Ad revenue outpaces traditional media spend

Without much fanfare the New York Times reported that Internet advertising spending for the first time in history was greater than their traditional media counterparts.  That’s not surprising as marketers continue to channel ad dollars to the web.

Friday Question :: How much business is being lost

The 3-D thing has really grabbing my attention, and Mr. Hero was nice enough to send along this article from The New York Times (enjoy it in 2010 before it slips behind the paid wall again — haven’t we been there before?). Sounds like a lot of folks out there might be on the same page. “I couldn’t see [ READ MORE ]

Friday Question :: Not all parts are created equal

Listening to the radio (yes, again!) this morning and caught a song by The Beatles. You can’t help but admit that they were revolutionary and created a passion and fever that never existed before and never really existed since the end of that era.
