Christopher Penn had some advice today about being an asshole which has been contrary to his superpowers thread. The previous posts talked about how we all have amazing powers now that we can access the web. The A-Hole post talks about some of the powers of the dark side. All that’s left is to put these two posts together to see why being a Super Villain is much better that being a...

Wrapped up a good weekend today, so let’s get you starting the week off right with a new M Show. I got to tour the Samuel Adams Brewery this weekend and meet Matthew Ebel in person (seen below with Kroosh). We then drove away… Popularity: 1%...

Some may recall my whining about a month back about all the work it took to get Salesforce.com and Google Adwords integration up and running. The endgame was that there were some problems on my side with a PERL script we use, but it went farther than that – I was editing the script correctly but the FTP tool I was using would corrupt it on the upload… Enough with the propeller...

I’m finally feeling like I’m back in the game. I still have this annoying itch in my throat but that could just as well be allergies as cold. This is one of the joys of New England. Another – on Tuesday, even though there was still snow in the parking lot I saw my first cloud of black flies. Just in case you stopped by looking for real content, I’ve got a 7 minute...

What a drag it has been this last week. I’m still feeling run down but I’ve been getting better every day. I caught 4 innings of the Sox game over at Fenway last night with the lovely Carin thanks to a ticket hookup from E-413. On the book front: Email Marketing by the Numbers arrived today, I’ve got 4 blog post-sized entries about email marketing. To celebrate – off...

Just one of the earth shattering discussions on this week’s M Show. My cough is back and I am not happy about that. See you tomorrow. Popularity: 1% [?]

As my cold begins to fade away I’m able to catch up on work. I’ve spent a good chunk of the day here at a coffee shop in Williamstown, MA. The weather has been perfect after what feels like 37 straight months of rain, cold and darkness. Life in a college town is always a bit brighter than the rest of the world. The tennis team was up early at the cafe and as I fired up my iTunes...

I’m doing a cross-post today because I’m speaking at an event called PR Online Convergence coming up in May in Los Angeles. One of the sessions I’m doing is on RSS and I’d like to get a feel for any questions or visions of the future you may have about RSS. If you could, please check out my post over there and I’d appreciate your comments. And of course if you...

Sorry guys but I am still coughing up a lung. I am going to bed now, and although there’s no new sparkling prose you can check out the latest edition of Marketing Over Coffee – The Best Marketing Podcast for 16 minutes of talk about MySpace Bots, Black Hat Marketing and the influence of Web 2.0 on Politics. I’ll have some new video tomorrow too! Where’s my shot glass...

There’s been some chatter today and yesterday about live blogging at conferences. I jumped on with this post from Allan Jenkins. If you’re giving a presentation and you can’t make it compelling enough for people to pay attention, the last thing you should be doing is complaining about the attendees. Or better yet – the audience is your customer and you’d rather...
