Sorry about the couple week hiatus. Bloggers are not supposed to do that because your readership drops. “Blog til you drop!” But I’ve just been too busy getting caught up after travelling so much for the past month. I’ve been doing the speaking circuit… Frost & Sullivan Sales and Marketing East in Boston, Etail in […]

If you don’t make it easy for your content to be read, chances are someone will. A fascinating study by the Poynter Institute, called Eyetrack III, revealed some interesting information about how web surfers read a web page. How the human eye moves across a webpage Eyetrack shows that the top-left of a page is […]

I don’t think so. First, a disclaimer: yes, I am a fan of Star Trek and Stargate (both the SG-1 and the Atlantis series). And no, I’m not a crazy Trekkie who wears a Star Trek uniform in public. Anyways, I was just watching the documentary DVD Universe over the weekend. It’s a little dated […]

I just got back from dinner with web content guru Gerry McGovern. I so enjoy our conversations; Gerry is such a smart guy. (BTW, hire him if you have a website or intranet and you want to learn how to make the content better). One of the many things we discussed was the concept of […]

It takes a lot of courage to get an MBA after being in the workforce for several decades. Way to go, Greg! Lifelong learning is […]

With New Zealand being such a small market, it’s a lot easier to get publicity in New Zealand than in the U.S. As far as Netconcepts getting publicity in New Zealand is concerned, yesterday was a red-letter day!

Having trouble finding your true purpose in life? Here’s a little exercise you may want to try out: First of all ask yourself: “What is (insert your name here) good at?” Come up with 40 answers to that question. Then pick 8-12 answers that overlap. Then choose 3 of those that you are most passionate […]

Funny that I should be interviewed tonight on national radio (in New Zealand) about the benefits of work-life balance, considering I’m a certifiable workaholic! But there ya go. It’s because I, and the rest of my management team, know how to take care of our staff, as testified to in the glowing work-life balance case […]
