I Just Don’t Get Apple
I’m kind of speechless. It’s not often that I’m at a loss for words but what else can you say about a company that is incredibly successful despite it’s complete disregard its customers. To be fully transparent, Microsoft, T-Mobile and HTC are all clients of my employer Waggener Edstrom and competitors to Apple. (See my [...]

Twitter: the last bastion of Web 2.0 Innovation
Image via CrunchBase “Why won’t people shut up about Twitter?” I’ve heard this question a lot over the last 2 years. I’ve even said it a time or two. So why do we obsess about Twitter? Remember the good old days (3-4 yrs ago)? Before Social Media it was just New Media (Chris Garrett‘s still [...]
