Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:43:19 PDT
Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses Posted on April 21st, 2008 A few years ago I went to the eye doctor to get my eyes checked and discovered that I needed glasses. At the time I was just beginning high school and I was not looking forward to wearing glasses during my freshman year. After getting my eyes examined I begged my mother to buy me contact lenses. After some convincing she finally agreed. Little did I know that the contact lenses I wanted so bad would cause me so many problems. If you’ve

Reconciling comScore’s and Google’s Paid Click Data Part 2: It’s the U.S. versus the World

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:51:47 PDT
Background We have received numerous inquiries about the paid click data released by Google on 4/17/08. Some inquiries focused on reconciliation: How could comScore and Google figures be seemingly so different? Others, recognizing that comScore’s data reflected domestic paid clicks only, questioned why we release data that only partially represent Google’s global business. Others asked about our plans for offering our own analysis and training on the proper usage of our data. Our answers to th

Kingdom tops Marshall

Kingdom tops Marshall Posted on April 21st, 2008 OK so I’m starting to realize that I’m no longer a teenager. I’ve come to that conclusion after being wrong about my predictions for the number one movie two weeks in a row. Last week I was really certain that “Street Kings” would be the number one movie in the Country but it wasn’t, “Prom Night” was. And this week I thought for sure that the overly promoted “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” would easily top “The Forbidden Kingdom” but again I was

McCusker speaks at Communicator of the Year Award

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:57:59 PDT
Around 7.45am this coming Thursday, I’ll be clearing out the ol’ tartan tonsils afore speaking at this year’s Communicator of the Year Breakfast (Thursday 24 April) at Melbourne’s rather august Windsor Hotel. Last year climate change expert Professor Tim Flannery scooped the award and also participated in a panel discussion entitled Politics, Principle and PR. This year’s theme is “Facing up to the Brave New WWWorld” looking at trends in social media, particularly as they relate to the public

More on Mashups

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:02:35 PDT
Last week I was honored to do the opening keynote for the symposium on Mashups put on by the New Media Consortium. NMC, in collaboration with Educause, recently released the 2008 version of "The Horizon Report" which is "... a five-year qualitative research effort that seeks to identify and describe those emerging technologies that are likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, or creative expression within learning-focused organizations." There is a full download of the Creative

RETURN of Fantasy Friday's (With a Sprinkle of Under the Radar)

"I mean, I know it's just joke after joke, but I like that. At least it doesn't get all preachy and up its own ass with messages, you know?" - Trucker (South Park, 2006) By now, I'm certain everyone has heard that Frank Thomas has been released by the Toronto Blue Jays. I will never understand how a team goes about simply releases a player? The Jays will owe Thomas 100% of his 2008 salary and I wonder if a slip up in Thomas' contract may allow for him to achieve his 300+ plate appearances with

A poll conundrum

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:33:12 PDT
By Libby I've never given much weight to polling in trying to predict long term trends. Polls by their nature take a snapshot of a moment in time and by the time they're published some new factor has likely as not already swayed public opinion in another direction. But still, the polling in PA has puzzled me because it seems so far removed from the reality on the ground. I mean consider this recent rally for Obama in Philly. By all accounts at least 35,000 people showed up and their enthusiasm

John McCain is Bitter and He Clings to Menacing & Assaulting People

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:57:06 PDT
Increasingly, Senator John McMad, the presumptive GOP candidate for President, is being exposed as a pathologically angry person unfit to be in the Senate much less serve as President of the United States. Therefore, any poll results now showing McCain running neck and neck with Obama and Clinton can be dismissed as irrelevant. The media has yet to turn their attention with any serious and prolonged scrutiny to Sen. McNasty’s record of menacing and assaultive behavior. Besides, they have been di

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:40:11 PDT
No more jumping in front of rush-hour commuter trains, no more leaps from apartment building rooftops. The Japanese have a popular new way of doing themselves in. Is the news media to blame for the growing number of cases of suicide by this latest method?

Life After Pennsylvania

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:48:31 PDT
Forty-eight hours from now, give or take a little, we should have the final results of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Supporters will scream at the top of their lungs, sane minds will break, and pollsters are going to flood the field, and somewhere along the line, voters are actually going to vote for who they believe should be the Democratic nominee. Libby Spencer describes what seems to be a disparity between what we’re seeing in the polls, and what is being seen on the ground. P

As grocery outlets try to lure customers by offering greater selection, price reductions and differentiating shopping experiences; environmentally- and socially-conscious philosophies are key factors to the LOHAS consumer.

Enterprise 2.0 To Become a $4.6 Billion Industry By 2013

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:35:45 PDT
A new report released today by Forrester Research is predicting that enterprise spending on Web 2.0 technologies is going to increase dramatically over the next five years. This increase will include more spending on social networking tools, mashups, and RSS, with the end result being a global enterprise market of $4.6 billion by the year 2013. This change is not without its challenges. Although there is money to be made in the industry by vendors, Web 2.0 tools by their very nature are define

Microcontent and Its Discontents

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:37:48 PDT
I'm terribly excited, and I bet you know what about. Yes, that's right. Flickr is now adding video content! Yay!! The site where the self-obsessed post pictures of themselves but also where serious photographers actually post good photographs will now be open to the gits who post their inane antics on Youtube. Yay!! The videos, however, will be limited to 90 seconds, which should be within the attention range of just about everyone. According to some blog I read but can't recall, this is microco
