Umm...why is Mickey Mouse so pointy? And why does he look so mad? http://hmatime.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/ mickey-being-ruined-er-re-branded/

Anyone else read the news that someone – apparently interns – convinced the House of Mouse that it would be a good idea to re-brand Mickey Mouse for a video game? Set in a “cartoon wasteland?”

What did Scott learn today? "You Don't Know Jack!" http://hmatime.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/ you-dont-know-jack/

He says, “Selling is nothing more than getting people to make decisions in our favor. Selling is the transfer of trust. People tend to do business with people they like and with people that are like them. People tend to do business with people, not companies.”

The 2009 @AbbieF social media experiment to get @DonnyOsmond to follow her may not have worked (yet), but a major thanks to everyone fighting the good fight with us! #FF list below! http://hmatime.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/ donny/

Well, my birthday wish/social media experiment did not net out all the results I was hoping for. My ultimate goal was to create enough buzz on Twitter that Donny would follow me back as a birthday gift.

I have heard of fans launching campaigns to keep TV shows on air (Save Chuck!) and to get us to see certain movies (Paranormal Activity), but one to do the opposite? http://hmatime.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/ the-anti-campaign/

Michael Jackson’s fans are nothing if not loyal – and fighting mad. So loyal (and mad), in fact, they are banding together in a media relations and viral campaign aimed at getting movie-goers NOT to see the film made from Jackson’s final rehearsal footage.
