  • Key Elements of Online Marketing

    Many marketers are familiar with either traditional marketing or with online marketing. This is not very surprising, since computers did not even exist in its present form when many of the “seniors” in the industry today were in school. While this situation is rapidly changing, it is still true in many instances today. The online…

  • Online Communities – A Marketing Fad That Can Kill You

    I just read a very interesting article over at Research Monkey, aka Sassy Maven’s blog titled “It’s called Transparency… look into it“. I think this is really a good discussion. Marketing is really fun in today’s dynamic world. With the online elements coming mainstream, marketers today not only have more tools to use, they also…

  • Exercise can help creativity?

    Here is an interesting article about the co-relationship between exercise and the brain: Fred H. Gage, lead researcher of the study and Adler professor at the Salk Institute. “Our own research revealed that physical exercise increases the birth and survival of new brain cells in the mouse hippocampus, a brain area important for learning and…

  • Willing Leader, Good Leader?

I strongly suspect that it has always been my secret aspiration NOT to do commercials like this one… But I really got to admit… it’s loads of fun! Who wants to do the sequel!?

  • Photo Organiser and Enhancer

    For those of you who are “PhotoShop-challenged” like me, you might want to take a look at this post by Kailani where she introduces the PicaJet Photo Organiser. Seems like a good and lazy way to get photos organised and have them be enhanced automatically. Of course for the professionals, they will be glad to…

  • The importance of insurance

    On a more sobering note, I remember that time when my car got smashed. Well, I was not drunk. I never drive when I drink. But someone smashed the window and grabbed the stuff in the boot and cleaned out the glove compartment. Fortunately, other than a toolbox, some coupons, I did not lose much.…
