Great Read for Small Businesses and Startups:  The Referral Engine

Great Read for Small Businesses and Startups: The Referral Engine

By Bob Warfield on May 10, 2010

I loved John Jantsch’s book, “The Referral Engine“.  Like the book jacket says, it’s about teaching your business to market itself. It’s funny, but I expected the book to be about something else from the title.  I guess I had visions of multi-level marketing when I heard the word “referral”.   While the strategies and tactics the […]

The Courier & Foldable Tablets are Neither Innovative Nor “Different”

The Courier & Foldable Tablets are Neither Innovative Nor “Different”

By Zoli Erdos on April 30, 2010

This is a sad “I’ve told you” moment, as I predicted the death of dual-screen tablets, be it the one by MSI or Microsoft’s Courier, which has just been canceled.  Says Frank Shaw, Microsoft’s VP of corporate communications: At any given time, across any of our business groups, there are new ideas being investigated, tested, […]

Reading is Writing: Illuminating The Digital Manuscript

Reading is Writing: Illuminating The Digital Manuscript

By James Governor on March 10, 2010

Amazon, Macmillan and me

By Vinnie Mirchandani on February 5, 2010

In the on-going battle between published content and distribution that Larry Dignan summarizes well at ZDNet I should, as a blogger and the fact that I have a book coming out, be unabashedly on the side of content. But I find myself conflicted. Conflicted because one of the people I interviewed for the book sent […]

Book Giveaway : Blogging to Drive Business

By Jeff Nolan on January 20, 2010

I have 12 copies of a new book, in fact I don’t even think it’s available thru Amazon yet, Blogging to Drive Business. The name makes it pretty obvious what it’s about, so all I will add is that I read it and thought it was pretty good, very actionable stuff.
