NM3’s Worst Blog Post of the Day Award: HuffPo

I saw a blog post today so terrible I had to point it out:

The obvious reason that this Huffington Post blog post is so terrible is the title. I mean come on, that is so bad that I can’t believe - I still can’t believe someone actually typed it out thinking it was a [...]

Facebook plz fix, kthnxbai

Facebook, in conjugation with its current positioning, has many pieces of a puzzle that should end up being the picture of an effective online grassroots campaign, but too often the pieces just don’t fit together. Many of its Applications have a significant amount of value for those of us interested in online organization, [...]

Put On The Playlist: Songs About Famous Chicks

Songs about famous chicks can go two ways. One - you sound like the almost creepy nerd from school and she finds it cute (you know like Jennifer Love Hewitt and the dude from Can’t Hardly Wait). Or two - you sound like the almost creepy nerd from school and she finds [...]

update: 200 is the new 75 (read: i’m conceded)

Returning to the final thoughts on my previous post on the 75 IMG lying in twait on twitter: “lets keep checking back on 75+ Internet Marketing Gurus to seek where it goes,” the list has grown from the original 75 to 200 and still attracting comments. And yes, http://twitter.com/briandevine is on the list (snoogans).
Furthermore:

Put On The Playlist: Absolutely Necessary New Covers

Every once in a while a cover can rival the creativity of the original song. Here’s 4 (in no particular orders) that have made it into mainstream rotation on my playlist:
The White Stripes - Jolene

75+ IMG on Twitter Can’t Be Wrong

So somewhere around 7 am this morning I woke up, sat down at the laptop, and started checking my emails, twitter, blog, facebook, etc - you get the idea. Buried in the updates was one tweet about a blog post from Marketing Pilgrim titled:
75+ Internet Marketing Gurus on Twitter
But as today progresses, what [...]

Based out of Dallas - The Hourly Radio is a band I only wish I had heard earlier and their song Gun In Hand is currently one of my favorites (mixed tape material… if I made mixed tapes… which I don’t…). Although they will be playing at SXSW, they’re not currently on [...]

The Yeasayer/MGMT Online Movement
