We’re sitting at the Oshawa train station, barely outside of Toronto and it’s been a little over an hour since I checked-in on Foursquare, broadcasting to those who follow me on Twitter and Facebook that I was heading to Ottawa.

I love Twitter. Like everyone else, it took me a period of adjustment to “get it” but once I did, I fell in love with Twitter wholeheartedly. Why? In part because of it’s immediacy. It can also lead you to so many different places; down the rabbit hole, as it were. If you’ve ever spent an [...]

I’m not too sure if you’re all aware, but today is “Quit Facebook Day”. Not familiar? Check out Facebook and search for “Quit Facebook Day” and you’ll surely see the new group and movement taking charge on quitting the addictive application.

That’s a common question we get from people entering the social fray. “Facebook. Twitter. Foursquare. When does it end?” It doesn’t. And that’s a good thing. The latest social network I’ve looked into is called Stickybits. Where Facebook connects you to a network of friends and Foursquare connects you to a location, Stickybits does this with both [...]

Appointment television. In the network television world these are magic words. If consumers continually make an “appointment” in their busy schedules to watch your program, then you, as the broadcaster, can afford to ask for and likely receive high advertising rates. Yet appointment TV is increasingly an elusive goal for many networks, given the advent [...]

If you are like me, there is a likelihood you spent an embarrassing amount time this weekend watching The Masters Golf Tournament. Embarrassing since the weather was so nice outside, but hey, The Masters is a true rite of Spring, paving the way for idyllic rounds to come all summer long. The Masters does a whole [...]

Yesterday, the CRTC has endorsed the private broadcasters in a decision that serves to change the TV industry. The major networks have won the right to negotiate with distributors and cable companies over charging for their signals. The fight is just beginning, as the battleground now moves from the backrooms to the courtroom. The Federal [...]

Print is not dying. It is evolving beyond the traditional definitions and it is finding a new place in the content kingdom. There is always going to a place for people who enjoy the tactile experience of a book or a magazine but the iPad — and those that follow — will become the new [...]

As reported in Marketing Magazine, General Motors has made a concerted effort to make their presence felt at this year’s South by Southwest.
