SEM Has Been Behavioral Before Behavioral Was Behavioral

July 31, 2007 No comments yet

Check out this great post by Jonathan Mendez. I especially like his notion of “cross experience optimization” although I am not sold that this is some manifestation of what he is refering to as Web 3.0. As of late, I have been hearing more and more people throw this around as a term refering [...]

First, it was “America Online”. Then, in 2006, “America Online” changed its name to “AOL”. Now AOL will reportedly change its name, yet again, to TMZ.

E-Mail To Go

According to Gartner, by 2010, 20% of all email accounts will be mobile.  Unfortunately the findings do not point to the type of activities (sending, receiving, opening attachments such as multimedia) that consumers will engage in, but it does predict that mobile email will take share away from SMS.

So You Think Virtual Worlds Are A Fad, Do Ya?
