Between my personal blog and that of BlitzLocal, we’ve gotten about 23,000 hits in the last 24 hours. The TechCrunch Effect is when TechCrunch covers your site, typically on launch day, and brings it down from massive traffic. And you often…

It’s bad enough that there are over 60 million users (including me) wasting real time and real money growing virtual crops to earn virtual points. A new article in TechCrunch blows the doors on an industry that is set to generate…

There are 540 million directories printed in the United States each year. That’s 1.7 directories per person, assuming just over 300 million people living in the US. There is not one “yellow pages” company, so it’s many companies printing many books. The…

It's a program we developed and it's for brands that don't have the resources to respond to hundreds of thousands of fans in an intelligent way.

(in other words, how to NOT have a blog that gets no traffic) Every few days I go into Google Analytics to see what’s driving traffic to my site. If there’s a sharp spike, it’s usually because of a guest blog…

Not much more needs to be said about this. Gotta wonder how this ad was approved by Facebook. The guy is naked and she probably is, too. What do you think the advertiser was targeting– old guys who say “creeper” in their…

3 months ago Microsoft spent $100 million to launch BING search. And now Yahoo! has followed suit, spending another $100 million for their own branding campaign. All the while Google and Facebook are laughing at the big company mentality for marketing–…
