It’s a little dated, but I ran across this today and couldn’t help but laugh:
Microsoft is clearly out to wed the Zune with Windows Mobile in a effort to get the two failures to prop each other up in its “I’m not dead yet!” fight against the iPhone.
Of course, it’s really only funny if you know the Monty Python skit the author is referring to …
I saw this on Clientside SEM’s website this morning:
SEO up to now has been mainly technical (and tactical) in orientation. But as basic SEO skills become increasingly commoditized, SEO will require more than just technical ability to grow brands and companies on the Web — it will require a keen understanding of business, marketing, risk management, resource allocation, and creative problem solving.
This is bad news for SEO professionals who are simply technical, blackhat, or who have come in from the quasi-developer side. It’s great news for traditional marketing firms who have understood these things for decades … but only if they can also pick up new skills and techniques.
Gotta love this new quote of the day:
“Pardon him … he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.”
– George Bernard Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra
Saw it on Bruce Byfield’s blog …
Gotta love this one … it’s often overlooked in business:
“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.”
Winston Churchill
Saw it at Martin Perez’ Merge Left Marketing.
This is a good one:
“The problem with communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished.”
– George Bernard Shaw
If your office is anything like mine … this is a fairly accurate observation.
I love this one:
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.”
– Oscar Wilde
I just hope it’s not about me!
