Marketing Canapes

Pondering trimming My Neighborhood

2007-07-19T21:21:32Z

Marketing Canapes was developed as an evolution of an emailed newsletter, I've always been an advocate of being able to communicate in two directions. One of the limitations in placing Marketing Canapes here was that people would have to join VOX...

RSS aggregators report

2007-07-17T08:36:48Z

Well, I am still not posting regularly because I am bouncing back and forth between using Bloglines and Newsgator. Well, this is my analysis. I started with one aggregator a long time ago. It was unusable under any circumstance. I switched to Bl...

2007-07-17T07:52:43Z

For quite awhile, I have been involved with an inventor whose product should make our shores in late August. I can hardly wait to get one of the units to use. Anyway, about a week back, I contacted the gentleman to see how things were going. He t...

Bottled water redux

2007-07-11T08:42:04Z

A few posts below I wrote about Fiji water and the transportation and costs of getting that bottled water to you the consumer. I also have mentioned that in taste test after taste test, New York City tap water beats out bottled water again and ag...

A tale of two "brands"

2007-07-10T08:08:47Z

As is pointed out by Fast Company, China does not really have it's own global brand. As close as they come is Lenovo, the name given to IBM's PCs that a Chinese company bought. So, the only "brand" China has is the ubiquitous "Made in China" bra...

China does not need to invade the USA to win a war

2007-07-09T01:42:03Z

All they have to do is keep sending dangerous products to the US for us to kill ourselves with. If you think that anti-freeze in toothpaste and lead-based paint on toy trains is it, are you ever in for an eye-opening session on Who Sucks. With a ...

Drinking bottled water

2007-07-08T08:56:01Z

I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool user of bottled water and Fiji was my favorite of all, although it was usually a bit more expensive that the others on the shelf - with good reason it turns out. This article has, perhaps, one of the best summaries...

Bogged down

2007-07-03T10:08:55Z

I have been scanning almost 300 different blogs in looking for ideas, information and posts to make or refer to. That means about 1,500 messages a day. That is time consuming, even were I on broadband (coming soon). I have been spending a good pa...

Is anyone home?

2007-06-28T09:50:51Z

The implications of the Paris Hilton interview left me astounded. In the 30-second soundbite I heard she used about half the known cliches in the English language. I can fully well understand someone going to sleep on her despite paying a cool mi...

China will be the next King of the Mountain

2007-06-28T09:15:50Z

This is not a matter of "if," only of "when" this will happen. Economic data coming from McKinsey (via Research Briefs) predicts a growing and vibrant economy with increasing wealth for Chinese citizens. One they reach a critical point, their mas...
