Blockbuster Writes Their Own Obituary

I’ll keep this post short because that’s about how long Blockbuster seems to want it.

They Are Saying Something New About Social Media, Finally

Now, all of a sudden, a new idea is emerging…it’s barely an audible chirp, but it will become a tectonic rumble before long: Social Media is beginning to take on the characteristics of a Financial Instrument.

When Social Media Becomes a Science

Jay Deragon posted a series of articles recently on his Relationship Economy blog which I found especially exciting.  As usual, Jay is bringing forward some very important ideas related to social media components and outcomes, but what really sets this new mindset apart is the fact that Jay is asking the same questions that have [...]

Building a Better Problem

A great deal of innovation arises not from a clever solution, but from a clever new definition of a problem. Today we still treat people as static and airplanes as dynamic. Suppose we were to redefine the problem so that people are dynamic and the airplane is static?
