Fellow videographers/filmmakers — Don’t be fooled!
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 13:13 No CommentsWith the explosion of video online there is an equally growing number of companies seeking to take advantage of those of us who shoot and edit video.
I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist because I don’t see this as a big conspiracy. Actually, I marvel at the prowess of these marketing moguls.
Initially there [...]
Web page hosts… like ‘em? or hate ‘em?
Monday, September 21, 2009 10:02 3 CommentsSo I just saw a Facebook status where an acquaintance was promoting his new friends who create and implement those videos where a person walks out on to your web page and talks to you.
Okay, that was fairly non-judgmental in introducing the issue, right? Now the not so judgmental portion and where I ask for [...]
Fire starter, leveler, or just trash? Got Video Instead?
Thursday, December 18, 2008 8:03 No CommentsWhere’s your copy of The Yellow Pages? I’ve gotten to the point where as soon as I see the obvious bag on the porch containing the latest copy it goes straight into the trash. I used to feel guilty so I’d keep them in the garage for at least a couple of months… then they’d [...]
Dear Sony, please proofread more carefully.
Friday, December 12, 2008 17:52 No CommentsSo today I got this “thank you for spending money with us, please come spend some more” email from Sony. It was a 10% off coupon (actually an insult if you ask me, 10% is peanuts these days… I can walk in off the street almost anywhere and get that… thanks for NOTHING Sony!), but [...]
Celebrity on hold messages… I don’t like them!
Wednesday, December 10, 2008 11:29 2 CommentsI don’t know if I perceive it as an insult to my intelligence or just what but I didn’t like it today when I called Comcast about high speed Internet speeds I’m experiencing (or not experiencing) and, once I finally got through all the voice choice prompts, was greeted for my 3-6 minutes estimated hold [...]
FAQ or FAQs?
Monday, September 15, 2008 13:04 No CommentsRecently, a client asked me to make a change to her site to make the FAQ link reach FAQs. This is a very interesting request as it prompted me to think about what FAQs actually meant. After all, TLA (three letter acronyms) are really short abbreviations for stuff we talk about regularly but don’t want [...]
Common Craft: Explanations in Plain English is Their Business
Wednesday, July 2, 2008 11:06 1 CommentSo a friend of mine tweeted a link to an awesome video today. I find trying to explain social media, networking, twitter, and on and on and on to folks who are way out of the loop is terribly difficult. Thanks to these guys, there’s now a GREAT source for explaining and I don’t have [...]
Those Little Inset Graphics Can Say A Lot – Email Best Bang for Bucks
Saturday, April 26, 2008 9:49 No CommentsI read Fast Company magazine. Well, I try to read it regularly anyways. Like Fast Company, most of the newer and popular magazines have little inset graphic images offering some kind of graphic insight to some interesting numbers. I believe these small images could be some of the best information in the magazines. Try this [...]
