How Not to Market in Tough Times

By now you’ve seen enough “Marketing Ideas for Tough Times” stories to make you puke. They offer the usual tried, true and hackneyed advice—"stay close to your customers, listen to your customers, review your strategies, be even more responsive to your customers," ad nauseam.

Like you don’t do these things already?

Hell, what you need is more cash flow. In you found some new customers, you don’t need to be told that it’s good to listen to them.

So let’s a assume you have a little more time on… Continue

Featured Techie: Labels That Talk President Ken Berkun


I first met Ken on TechHui. He was an early member and a frequent participant in our groups and forums. I was intrigued by his company's product, Soundpaper, which encodes audio in high density barcodes. In Japan I frequently see bar codes used to encode URLs that can be read by mobile pho… Continue

User Experience - Interrupted

Apple recently announced the much anticipated iPhone3G S, along with the new 3.0 platform. As usual, Apple has done a stellar job of hyping the release, providing the 3.0 SDK (Software Development Kit) to their huge following of app developers in advance, encouraging them to take advantage of the new capabilities such as copy/paste, voice dialing, compass positioning, video support with editing, and, of course, improved… Continue

The U.S. Government contacted Twitter about Iranian usage of the service during political protests

Reuters India has an article titled, "U.S. State Department speaks to Twitter over Iran.

It is no surprise that Iranians are Tweeting. I think what was a surprise was the reported interaction between the State Department and Twitter. I… Continue

Dr. Seri Lee

What do Game Boxes, Graphics Cards, Blade Servers, Lasers, Concentrated Photovoltaics and High Power LEDs all have in common? They all get WAY too hot. Thus, these technologies have significant potential to benefit from Pipeline Micro's patented micro-scale liquid cooling systems. How does Pipeline compete in this space with mainland and Japanese firms? They hire their best engineers. In a year of great accomplishments, perhaps Pipeline's most noteworthy was the recruitment of renown thermal guru Dr. Seri Lee. In a refreshing reversal of the much discussed Hawaiian brain drain, Pipeline is hiring the best thermal engineers in the world and bringing them to Hawaii. Dr. Lee, the former Senior Thermal Scientist for Intel, has published more than 60 technical papers and is the holder of 16 patents relating to thermal management in electronics.
