Live from my patio deck – a weekly roundup

Posted on | May 26, 2007 | No Comments

WOW! The first day it’s really felt like spring around here.

I’m on the deck, dogs wandering around panting, enjoying the building mid-day heat. I was going through some missed e-mails form earlier this week and figured I’d offer a bit of a news round up for folks, so here goes.

Here’s a great little item I’ve been enjoying lately. The Hawthorne Videoactive segment. It runs daily to keep you up to date on all things online marketing, Interactive and such. This yesterday’s stories included the following items:

# Ohio Mobile Providers Offers Discounts To Cell Users Who Accept Ads
# Your Billboard Is Watching You Now
# Are Greenbacks Printed On White Paper?
# If There Were A YouTube For Business, Would CEOs All Start To Lip-Sync?

Other stories covered on their site included:

# Forgot What To Get At The Pharmacy? Check The PharmaTv
# Move Networks Media Player Offers Something New
# EyeSpot Invites You To Take On The DeathStar
# Case Study: BigFix Viral Video Campaign
# Video-Rich Shell Campaign Takes Time To Make Company Case
# Business 2.0 Takes A Look At 2007Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s Most Likely To Succeed Startups

Visit them here – it’s worth it

A book update.

Some of you who’ve been reading this site for a bit may recall I’m writing a book. Well, it’s coming along. In fact, the first manuscript draft is due next week to the publisher. This doesn’t mean it’ll be out soon, it simply means we’ve got to have our stuff into them to begin the editing process. It’s still slotted for a fall release.

Good Music

If you like 80′s music (which I do), here’s a tip for a great station heard through iTunes.

Go to the International section
Scroll down a bit
Look for the station labeled Hot Mix Radio 80 – 100% annÃƒÂ©es 80 – Hot Mix Radio 80′s – Live from Paris France – http://www.hotmixradio.fr

It’s one of the best 80′s stations I’ve found online so far – very good mix an decent depth, too, so you’re not hearing the same songs every hour.

Well, I’m going to leave this post at that. I’m off to get something cold from the fridge and get started on many more hours of content creation for the book.
