The date is March 24, 2010. We’ll be talking about the usual web geek stuff, likely with a bit of emphasis on HTML [...]

Friday, March 12, 2010
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t get why some sites display reader comments in reverse chronological order. It seems especially popular on newspaper sites, which also for some reason tend to use paging for comments. I think the combination of reverse order and paging makes trying to follow discussions very frustrating. Still, since more and more [...]

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Being a pretty big fan of many winter sports I have spent most evenings of the past two weeks in front of the TV, watching the action from the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. With excellent live TV coverage from the games I had no reason to visit either the Vancouver2010.com or the CTVOlympics.ca website to find [...]

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Over the past 24 months, our firm has accepted 3 large pro bono assignments. These assignments were non-profit associations that had been hit hard in the recession. Their budgets were at zero for design, marketing or advertising, yet they still had ambitions, dreams and hopes of continuing with their work as non-profits… More at: http://woorkup.com/2010/03/01/doing-pro-bono-work-brings-in-big-money/

Welcome to episode #193 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #26 of Media Hacks. The Ninja (aka Christopher S. Penn) talks about his new gig at Blue Sky Factory, but the main thrust of the conversation is about what happens to a company when someone with a major personal brand (like Ninja had for the financial aid industry) leaves and starts in another industry? What happens to the brand? How trusted is the personal brand of the individual? Along with that we graze through a bunch of topics from mobile and iPhone apps to the pending launch of the iPad. We even take a sneak peek at where C.C. Chapman won’t be during SXSW (hint: it’s in line waiting to get into parties) and have a chat about the power of email for Marketers (and where it’s going), plus lots more. Enjoy the conversation…

Welcome to episode #188 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #24 of Media Hacks. As you can well imagine, we deep dive into whether the new Apple iPad is a big mess for Apple or whether or not this new computing device is going to change the game. Amazingly enough, we even have time to discuss the growing popularity of Foursquare and what that platform is going to do to make things that much more local. Julien is on the call, so this episode if not safe for work (you have been warned). Enjoy the conversation…

Welcome to episode #186 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. I worked my new Olympus PCM digital recorder to the bone at Andy Sernovitz’s Word of Mouth Supergenius conference in Chicago this past December. If you are a small to medium-sized business owner (aka a SMB), then you should be following John Jantsch and his amazing system, Blog, Podcast and best-selling business book called, Duct Tape Marketing. John brings smart, easy and practical marketing tips and strategies to get small business owners to better understand Marketing and its relevance in the growth of a business. He’s an interesting guy and brings a fresh perspective to the Marketing world. John was my third (and last) victim (errr… I mean, "guest"!) from the Supergenius event. Enjoy the conversation…

Welcome to episode #190 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. Joseph Jaffe is a Marketer though and through (some have even called him the "Marketer’s Marketer" - and, if no one has called him that, then I am!). Along with being the Chief Interrupter for a Social Media Marketing agency called, Powered, Jaffe is also the author of three amazing and best-selling business books titled, Life After The 30-Second Spot, Join The Conversation and the just-released, Flip The Funnel. He also has a very popular Marketing Blog, Jaffe Juice, and his own audio and video Podcast, Jaffe Juice TV. He is not shy to speak his mind, and in this episode of Six Pixels of Separation we discuss his latest book, Flip The Funnel, and why the customer is not always right (even though they are, and should be celebrated a whole lot more). Enjoy the conversation…
