I do want one, and I am in the target market, but as a colleague of mine pointed out, it’s not actually a Mac, it’s still the iPhone OS, so it retains the control Apple want.

Happy New Year!
I’m slowly getting back into the headspace of my work – digital marketing.

Crowdsourcing is the ultimate form of handing control back to the people. Indeed it is this type of Glasnost that some people believe will be the way business manage to continue operating in the future.
Here’s a cracking example which could save the motor industry. A new independent car company is rising from the ashes of [...]

It’s been an interesting week.
First Seth Godin decides to back an idea that aggregates buzz around brands and creates a separate page for each brand curating this freely accessible content that can be found anywhere on the web – Brands In Public.

Wow! What a headline… what an historic day!
Digital marketing geeks (like me) have long heralded the day when this would happen. Indeed as early adopters and believers in the positive, unitrusive, measurable nature of the internet we prophesied it.
