Gaining Exposure By Giving The People What They Want

by Chris Young , Tuesday, June 3, 2008

THERE IS A FAMOUS TINSELTOWN quote often attributed to comedian Red Skeleton about the well-attended 1958 funeral of Harry Cohn, the tyrant president of Columbia Pictures.

Skeleton said "Give the people what they want to see and they'll come out for it."

The sentiment is also an axiom for most businesses. When you provide a quality product or service that people… Continue

Twitter vs. Jaiku - enter Google.

Well the Twitter outages are no secret to anyone that's been using the web based micro-blogging tool lately. And the picture of the whale being carried across the sea by small (tweeting) birds when Twitter has reached maximum capacity says it all. And despite the fun we have blaming…

Microsoft Shows Its Hand

Microsoft Shows Its Hand

by Steve Baldwin , Monday, June 2, 2008

IT'S BEEN CALLED A STUNT, a desperate move, and "little more than a gimmick." It's been derided as a failed idea already tried by Amazon's A9, iWon, and other rebate-hawking sites that never gained traction. It is, of course, Microsoft's Live Search Cash Back, the first of what promises to be a series of "disruptive" initiatives designed to derail Google's overwhelming, yet ever-growing dominance in search (now… Continue

It's a deal with HP for Live Search to be packaged as the default engine with all new computers--and Microsoft wrestled the agreement away from Yahoo.

Starting January 2009, new HP… Continue

The Future of Search

The Future of Search

You may have just become accustomed to the idea of Search 3.0, but get prepped for search's latest evolution -- and it's more socially powered and human influenced than ever before.

Danny Sullivan recaps the growth of algorithmic search from strictly on-page factors (Search 1.0), to off-page factors like links (Search 2.0), to blended or Universal Search (Search 3.0) and arrives at this new age of Mahalos, Eureksters, Twitters and personalized… Continue

Deal or No Deal: Getting Top Talent to Accept Your Offer

By Roy Notowitz, Managing Director, Notogroup

The TV show "Deal or No Deal" is a game of chance, but ensuring that your finalist candidates accept your offer does not have to have the same odds. Achieving a stellar track record of “offer acceptance” requires market knowledge, proactive communication, and attention to detail.

Job Boards Are Restaurants, Databases Are Home Cooking

The advent of the electronic resume was supposed to create a hiring utopia for corporate America. Job-seekers could send their resumes into corporations who could slide, dice, filter, and parse this data into actionable intelligence.

Who cares?
