The Fastest and Easiest Means of Speeding Up Your Site
Through our hosting provider, I was introduced to CloudFlare. I was absolutely astonished at the service… especially the starting price (free). When I worked for a major SaaS provider, we configured geocaching services and it cost us tens of thousands of dollars a month. CloudFlare isn’t built for a SaaS provider, but it’s perfect for your website or blog. CloudFlare…

Building Smarter Data Tracking Reports: The Path from Spreadsheets to Scale
Every growing company begins with manual notes, whiteboard sketches, or spreadsheets. While these tools are flexible, they become fragile as teams scale.

Social Commerce Breakdown
I’m not sure why there are naysayers on social commerce… I believe folks (B2B or B2C) will make a purchase anywhere online.

Re: Trust
It happened again. While I was reviewing the (unstoppable) list of emails that were hitting my inbox, I noticed the reply email. The subject line, of course, started with RE: so it caught my eye and I immediately opened it. But it wasn’t a reply. It was a marketer who thought they’d increase their open rate by lying to all…

Newspapers Continue to Needlessly Kill Themselves
Through Ruth’s blog, I just got done reading a New York Times piece on the Tribune planning to cut 500 pages from 12 of their largest newspapers each week. 1.webp” alt=”” title=”Pulling Hair Out” width=”130″ height=”105″ class=”alignright size-full tie-image2308″ /> Newspapers = Toilet Paper I can’t even tell you how insanely upset this makes me… and, as consumers, you should…

Modern business moves at the speed of information. Whether you’re building campaigns, researching prospects, or publishing content, the value of your efforts depends on the speed, accuracy, and freshness of the insights you’re working with. Static data and traditional search fall short because they’re not designed for the immediacy and context-driven needs of today’s professionals. You.com’s Web Search API was…

Custom Product Pages: Personalizing App Store Advertising
In today’s competitive app marketplace, simply relying on a single default App Store page is no longer enough. App discovery is no longer linear. Users search with different goals in mind: some want quick solutions, others explore specific features, and many compare apps directly with competitors. For marketers, this means that the default App Store listing—once considered a universal sales…
