Do I Want Targeted Ads, Or Do I Just Hate CiCi’s Pizza?

August 12, 2008

I’ve had enough. Nearly every day I see an ad for CiCi’s pizza buffet. Their tagline is “Almost too good to be true!” Almost? I beg to differ, CiCi’s. Here’s the problem: CiCi’s runs national TV commercials almost nonstop. The problem? They don’t have a location within HUNDREDS OF MILES of where I live! I’m [...]

There is no such thing as social media. There are no assertive hammers. There are no malicious popsicles.

August 8, 2008

Today I hit a breaking point. One of those rare moments in life when you break out of the autopilot that is every day human experience and stop. Something that you’ve taken for granted suddenly changes in your mind. Your entire construction of reality up to that point is called into question, and you are [...]

Is cuil really better than Google? Um, it’s a day old- take it easy

July 29, 2008

Yesterday Cuil, a brand new search engine, launched and boy did bloggers notice. Look at any tech blog and you’ll find an opinion of cuil. Either it’s a google killer or a failure.

Let’s Try This Again

June 16, 2008

Image via Wikipedia So….. I’ve had this site for years. I used to use nathanwburke as my “personal” blog, but that was in addition to my work blog, my tech blog, my multi-author blog, and on and on. So I finally decided I’d had enough and just stopped using this one. Well, lately I’ve been [...]

Blogged.com Live on matchmine Media Discovery Platform

June 11, 2008

Full Disclosure: I work at matchmine. Just saying. Today matchmine announced that blogged.com has gone live on the matchmine Media Discovery Platform.
