The Public Thinks This Is My Best Stuff

Site search

Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). You can also listen to Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. I was also involved in the late, great M Show. BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com

Important Stuff – sort of

This is kind of a spring cleaning post – stuff that I have on my list to write about (which forces me to think about), but after review is cool but for whatever reason there’s not much to say beyond “check this out”.
Chrome OS – Google’s OS, the fact that you would log into any [...]

Sports Center Edition

I’ve talked a number of times about John Wall, who’s become the hottest thing going in college hoops. Although it’s killing my personal SEO, that would be worth the price if he can deliver a show like this:

Really Important Stuff from Your Ghetto Analyst

Here’s some of the stuff that I ran across over the past couple of weeks during my self-inflicted blogging exile:
What will Sports Illustrated Look like? I am a huge fan of SI because of fantastic writing and incredible pictures, I follow sports in the papers but the magazine is in a league of it’s own. [...]

The Agency of 2012

The moderator for the session I wrote about yesterday pulled together some interesting comments from the session last night (even some of mine!). Some very good stuff from the person that stepped up to ask where the PR panelists were, including strong points on PRWeb for SEO.
There are some interesting academic arguments, and defenses [...]

Freedom from the Soundbite

Something underrated about impact of the web on how we communicate – the fact that you can now get just about any major news video on demand.
I had heard a few things about Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame acceptance speech and decided to consult the wise and powerful Google. I found a number of articles [...]

Nobody Likes A Critic on The Web

Sometimes my brain feels like my Grandfather’s workshop, overflowing with random stuff, ideas on projects all in varying states of completion. My daily dose of Seth Godin in Google Reader is like hurling a wrench into the workshop – it tends to knock some stuff around, wake me up, and perhaps think about something differently.
This [...]

Inside Baseball for Everything

SugarCRM is an open source CRM system, kind of a David to Salesforce.com’s Goliath. It’s been doing very well, but there was a surprise last week as the Co-Founder and CEO stepped down.
Check out this post: Never before has news been gathered and spread so fast. Is it any wonder that trade magazines are doomed [...]

QR Campaigns

I was in a discussion about QR (Quick Response – which are two dimensional barcodes), and was told about baseball cards using this data to generate 3D images. You hold the card up to your webcam, and on the screen you get an image.
Some stats here, and links to campaigns by Ford and Pepsi and [...]

Social Media Lies – Like Trackbacks are Good

Clay Shirky has written a great post about newspapers and the future of journalism.
The other thing that struck me about this post was the number of worthless trackbacks. I’ve started to look at blogs along a spectrum where the degree of interactivity is inversely related to the popularity of the author/blog owner (which, for the [...]

Newspapers and my $100 Dollars

Jay has $100 of mine, it’s just a matter of when I can go pick it up. At the beginning of the year I put a line in the sand and said that Newspapers (and the 6pm News) would be gone by 2/26/13. Thanks to the comments of some readers, notably Chip who reminded me [...]
