Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing, Technology and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). Please check out Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. I also have a weekly podcast called The M Show which is great for your commute to work (or even if you don't commute). BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com

Check LinkedIn for my professional background.

Update

Lots of things going on now chewing up time. I was back in the Berkshires last weekend, check out some Flickr pics here.
I’ve also gotten sucked into Bioshock on the Xbox 360 which I waited until I could get it used for a reasonable price. The bad news is that it’s good and Bioshock 2 [...]

Finally Catching Up

Things have been crazy the past two weeks, the biggest spanner in the works being the flu that knocked me down completely back on Tuesday and I was still sleeping it off on Wednesday. Losing two days from the work week creates a total loss for blogging and podcasting and I’m just now catching up [...]

Great Depression 2

I’ve had a lot of random thoughts about the current financial crisis, and the role the media in shaping the public opinion.  I get the feeling that the economy will bounce back when people get tired of hearing about bad news. Will consumer spending patterns really change so that Americans actually do some saving rather [...]

Marathon Monday!

The past month has been absolutely insane. This weekend was the first chance I had to stay at home and try and get things back together, I slept 10 hours on Saturday night. So what’s been going on? Here’s the best picture of the past month:
Carin has always talked about getting to swim with the [...]

DonorsChoose.org

As a presenter at the SalesForce.com annual conference (DreamForce ‘09) I was given a $100 gift card for DonorsChoose.org , an organization that uses the web to match donors with projects in schools that require funding. From the project that I chose:
“Help me teach the language to my preschoolers! I teach public preschool in an [...]

Best Served Cold

So I’ve had a couple of emails about discount codes and the like for the Web 2.0 Show, March, in San Francisco.
If I remember correctly this is the show that I wasn’t cool enough to attend a few years back.
I’ve already got another event on the calendar, but if you guys comp me a pass [...]

10 Things I Love

Jason Calacanis has an email list that he’s gone to as an alternative to blogging. (Jason’s Email list signup)
His latest had a list of 10 things he loves, and he asked for people to reply with theirs. Since I went to the trouble of doing my list I thought it would be good to share [...]

Tennis Valentine

As a teenager I spent many hours on the tennis court, both playing and teaching. I played a bit in college where I finally burned out after a year, but I still play once in a while. Last month Carin was offered tickets to the Champions Cup here in Boston and we went to the [...]

I’m Down with BS09

There’s been a lot going on lately, and of course that gets in the way of blogging here.
The good news is that Marketing Over Coffee continues to heat up, so much so that our host shut us down. The good news is that my co-host’s secret identity is CTO, so we shifted to a more [...]

2008 Year in Review, Part 1

Just about a year ago I was discussing my annual goals on an Oovoo call. Among the attendees were Sherman and Sean, and we were discussing what we planned to accomplish, and reporting back on it.
So here are my results. The diagram above is generated from MindManager from Mindjet (although I am a good two [...]
