The Public Thinks This Is My Best Stuff

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

Check LinkedIn for my professional background.

Project Natal

Some fanboy stuff for Friday – cutting edge video games, this does have some real world application too.
About 6 months ago I was wondering if anybody was ever going to come up with an answer to the Wii. Yes, it’s revolutionary, but it’s just a wireless controller, you’d think that in over a year somebody [...]

For Racing Gamers

If you’re into racing games at all check out the latest round of cars in Burnout Paradise….

Ali vs. Tyson

Watching Movies on The PSP and Getting RSS Feeds

Last month I got a Sony PSP so that I could watch video during long flights.  I asked a million questions of Greg before I bought it, and as usual, he gave me all the info I needed to know. As I just told him, if I knew how cool this thing really was, I [...]

Gaming on the Rise

Longtime readers know that gaming is a subject close to my heart, but it is relevant to any marketing discussion given the rapid growth of this market. Microsoft’s Halo 3 made anywhere from $150-170M depending on what numbers you believe. Bigger than the initial take Spiderman 3 or the final Harry Potter book. Enough for [...]

Valentine’s Day Card

A youtube vid… Thanks to Alec for the pointer.

Halo 3

Today is the release of Halo 3, a video game for the Xbox 360. It will be interesting to watch if the game hits the predictions of $200 million in the first week. Wired had a story last month about the unprecedented testing for the game. The real question is will gaming eventually overcome movies? [...]

BlogDay

Today is officially BlogDay, you can get the story and original recommendations in my previous post.
Just a few other things I read that are always great:
I’m a salesforce.com insider by reading SalesforceWatch.
On the small business tech font, and for Tales of Chicago check out Chicago Mike.
Most readers know I’m still going through Sex and the [...]

Virtual Yard Sale

The purchase and sale agreement has been signed so it looks like we are off to a new home! I’ve already begun going through stuff to try and ease the move, and I thought it would be fun to throw my own virtual yard sale. Actually the stuff is on eBay, but I thought it [...]

I am going to be in Halo 3!

Unless I get outbid on the chance to buy a part in Halo 3, which would seem to be an absolute certainty, but it’s fun to dream. How cool to fire up Halo3 on the Xbox 360 and hear me in the heart of combat?
Update: I only held the top bid for a couple of [...]
