OOPS! Crappy Marketing from Match.com!
Too many women? This is from match dot freaking COM. So bush league. You did make a mistake Match. You hired someone who is a dipshit. This is 1 step below a Viagra spam. They should have been honest. It works, trust me.
What it should have said is… “Look, we put a lot of cash into this ass site that should have been a part of Match.com. Instead, we broke it out into its...
This weekend = Tasty like Cream Cheese
So as you know, I love Philadelphia. All things Philadelphia. So when I heard that Indy Hall was having its one year anniversary, I knew I had to be there. I also knew that Strands had to support them in their co-working space efforts. Those guys and gals have busted their ass and continue to do so for their peers and for the city of Philadelphia.
But how could I make it even more fun? ...

Cool Stuff At Gnomedex
There has already been a bunch of pleasant surprises so far here at Gnomedex, one of them being seeing Marshall Kirkpatrick here, another seeing Chris Brogan.
Probably something I was stoked about even more was seeing Kris Krug again, the amazingly talented fashion photographer.
There have been a bunch of talks so far about search engines, engaging talks about business 2.0 with Sarah Lacy, but I...

So I’ve spent some time at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas the past few days. I haven’t been on the conference “circuit” for a while, and I hate that phrase…”circuit”. It denotes that I’m doing something because I have to. I don’t have to, I want to. I love people, and I love meeting new people and catching up with friends. I’ve had...
