I believe that every lazy marketing manager is slowly creating their own special personal hell in the afterlife.

Lord knows, they are putting enough of us through hell up here, when they use the same old boring online techniques and promotions.
The Internet is such  a wonderful and powerful beast, that it should be inspiring you to stretch your imaginations and try new things.

Online marketing needs to stop just using online channels, and begin to really USE online channels.

Have a safe and happy Holiday period, wherever you may be.

If you are unsure what a “bogan” is, then this definition should sort you out.

Ok, so I have created some new characters. When do I get offered a regular strip in the newspaper for these guys?
That is how this cartooning thing works, right?

Can you spot them all?

Grandad is back, telling you how it used to be.

You should always respect your elders. They have years of knowledge and experience to share, as well as plenty of useful life  advice.
They can regale you with tales of simpler times – like when Nokias only made phone calls and SMS was something you did behind closed doors with consenting adults.

This comic is a good example of this. There will be people who read this, who will not immediately know what it is about.
They never knew the simple pleasure of needing to pop the ball out of your mouse to clean it, and improve your computing experience.

Of course, this is not the only example of this. The speed at which technology moves means that many ‘modern improvements’ are just considered as the way things work, by younger generations.
The old “cassette and pencil” combination is already beyond many people.
Another old habit that kids see these days, and laugh at, is the “blow the cartridge” technique. (This still works well on so many things, by the way)

I am almost embarrassed to tell my children that in originally, to play the classic “Frogger” game at home, I used one of these in order to run this.

But, of course, until it is released as an online MMORPG with a 3D film adaptation and erchandising, my kids won’t know what FROGGER is anyway…

It seems that every group in the world tries to benefit from being seen online in one form or another, these days.

The fact that online activity can raise visibility is both good and bad, depending on your point of view.
Many rally against this new openess, whilst enjoying the
But there are also ways to be invisible, even in this ‘brand new frontier’. You may think you know all about the internet, there are forms of “secret internets” active as well, allowing groups to interact securely and away from prying eyes.
